As I sit here stuffed from a wonderful dinner and an incredible day with family, I can’t help but feel incredibly fortunate for what I have in my life. I am blessed to be married to a wonderful and hilarious man. I have an incredible baby boy whose world is changing, growing, and broadening daily. I have family just a short car ride away. (And I have a lot of family, so it almost doesn’t matter which direction we drive!)
And above that, I’m thankful that everyone around me has encouraged me to find the strength to change my future. It wasn’t so long ago that I was LONGING to start my own business. I spent a good deal of time wondering how the photographers I admired found the courage to pick up their cameras and just do it and aching to do it myself. I couldn’t be where I am today without the love of those around me. I feel blessed to be walking down the road that I have chosen. And I can only hope that I can continue to grow in my craft.
Since I’m all mushy and this post very quickly turn into a warm and fuzzy sob-fest, I’ll just go ahead and post some of my favorites from a recent family session.
Emily contacted me when she was traveling to California from the East Coast. She’s a photographer herself and wanted some family photos now that her little guy is getting bigger. I’m always incredibly flattered when other photographers choose me to capture their families, and I always get a little nervous. (It’s a lot of pressure when a client knows as much about the technicalities of a shoot as I do!) But of course Emily and her husband were complete sweet hearts and it was a blast to talk shop during a shoot. And the best part was that they pretty much posed themselves.
We spent the morning wandering around the Stanford University Campus and had a blast playing around and getting completely lost. Thank you Steve Jobs for putting maps in all of our iphones. I’m not sure anyone could function on that campus without one. It’s huge!
Thank you J family for spending some time with me on your trip. I enjoyed finally getting to meet you and little Topher.

From the moment Ari pulled Cameron out of the car, I knew I was in for it. I’m now 100% positive that if you pull out your dictionary and flip to the “S” section, you’ll find a picture of this little guy right next to the word, “Spitfire”. I truly don’t think there is a more perfect example than Cameron. I had so much fun at this shoot chasing after him, learning the proper way to wield a stick as a sword and the fastest way to scale a fallen tree branch. I did find a few knots in my stomach at the thought of my sweet little Grayson adopting Cameron’s style in a few short months, but if he’s as sweet as Cameron in the process, than I can’t complain!
Isn’t C just too sweet?
And we can’t forget about baby brother Oliver.
Nothing like a little brotherly love!

What do ruined Thanksgivings dinners have in common with photoshoots? Ok, honestly not much, but J and I did spend a good 15 minutes comparing war stories about the food holiday. And it was hilarious. (Is there anything funnier than forgotten innards? I think not.) I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love my clients. They crack me up! I have a mush 13 year old girl crush on all of them.
I was lucky enough to get a SECOND chance to shoot little miss Charlotte right after her first birthday. She has always been a doll and now that she’s all over the place, I’m pretty sure she’s even cuter. She’s so curious! And happy to get into anything she could find.
Thank you D family for letting me drag you around San Francisco – and even braving the Chinatown grounds! I had a blast.

We are in full holiday busy season mode over here, so try as I might to get the blog posts up nice and speedy, I’m falling behind! But it’s well worth it. The holiday cards this year are turning out to be better than I ever imagined. I’m having so much fun seeing all the pretty paper come in. And really, I think it’s because I just have some awesome, and fabulously attractive clients. I hope you guys love them all as much as I do!
And because pictures speak volumes louder than words, here is just a quick peak from the M’s mini session. Isn’t their little guys just a doll?

There is just something about a baby with a full head of hair. Especially a baby with CURLY hair. It’s just too cute. This little guy had not only a full head of hair, but a sparkling personality.
This family was so much fun to capture. (And the drove all the way down from Vacaville to see me!) We spent some time wandering around Hap MaGee Park in Danville and just found some of the most fun little niches to photograph. Dad kept joking about his inability to relax in front of the camera, but I think, just maybe, that we made it happen. And just like I promised, he’s on the website. 
Thank you again for letting me spend some time with you guys. And congratulations on your new home!

All too often I’m reminded that I have the best job in the world. Yes, I’m a photographer, but I’m also a mother. I have a son who loves me, depends on me, and will some day cherish me. I’m so incredibly lucky to have him in my life. I’m so incredibly blessed to be able to see him grow. To learn. To experience life.
Thank you Grayson for reminding me why it is that I love taking photos. Thank you for pushing me to always remember that a lifetime is full of todays and that every one is worth remembering.

So, I finally made it through all of the photos from this session. I’ve been trying to figure out which photos to post for the last day or so because there are just so many great ones.
Jessica and her little family were just too cute. AND they were troopers. They trekked all the way to a junky railroad drop off to indulge my interest in a little teal shack. I made them wade though random rubbage and weeds and Jessica is horribly afraid of snakes! She didn’t complain once.
Thank you W family for spending a Saturday with me.
