Sweet Baby Quinn | Oakland newborn photographer

January 30, 2011

In my opinion, Mike may be one of the most romantic husbands around. He contacted me at the end of last year. His wife was pregnant with their first child and he wanted to surprise her with something special for Christmas. I LOVE it. I’m a big fan of gifts in general, but I was tickled to be a part of one.

6 days after little Quinn made her debut I headed out to the Oakland Hills to capture her lovely images. Mike and Jenny were expecting some calm, sleepy baby shots, but Quinn absolutely had other ideas. She was awake and feisty for the entire 3 and half hours I spent with her. Watch out Mike, I’m pretty sure Quinn won’t ever have a problem speaking her mind.

I love how much of her big personality we were able to capture.

There is something about a photo of crying babies that just melts my heart. I promise we picked little Quinn up as soon as I snapped this capture.

And you look amazing Jenny, really and truly. I wish I looked that good 6 days after giving birth!

Rock on | Bay Area lifesyle family photographer | Meg Sexton

December 21, 2010

What is lifestyle photography? That’s a question I get every so often and I don’t really have the right words to explain. I can say that lifestyle photography is an anything goes kind of session. Or that it’s unposed and real. But those words don’t always makes sense. Lifestyle photography is about raw emotions. It’s about being true to yourself and honestly, just having fun.

You may remember Lindsy from one of my favorite maternity sessions. But her newborn session takes the cake. Lindsy’s newborn session was the epitome of lifestyle. We played guitars, we jumped on the bed, and we made wooden food taste good in a wooden kitchen. I felt so honored to be there, simply watching a family love each other. There was no pressure. It was a blast.

Thank you Lindsy for opening up your home to me. Your boys are as cute as can be.

Nothing like a little father/son jam session in the bedroom. It’s a rock band in the making!

We did have just a bit of down time. And I’m thankful for that as well.

A day on the farm | Walnut Creek family photographer

November 22, 2010

Erin may be the funniest person I know. Seriously. And she’s a hitter. So if she’s telling a joke, either brace for the punch line impact, or get out of her way! And that cracks me up even more. I don’t think I’ve ever spend any other hour of my life laughing as hard as I did at their session.

Now Jackie, at 2 and a half is pretty much just adorable. She thought the chickens were her new BFFs. And she wanted to tell me all about Thomas the Train. It’s a good thing I’m well versed in the Tank Engine and his many, many friends.

Thank you Erin for being up at the crack of dawn to meet me. I’m so glad we missed the rain!

The newest Raider Fan | East Bay newborn photographer

November 11, 2010

There are some times that my job should come with hazard insurance. Like, when I get to go and cuddle cute, squishy newborns for hours at a time. I have been waiting for Stephanie and Brad to have baby Brody since the moment we finished their fabulous maternity session. These two are just so gorgeous, I knew their baby would be equally as cute. And he was, x 10.

Adorable little Wente getting her model on.

One of my favorite images from Brody session. The last of the day and on a chair belonging to Stephanie’s Great Aunt. I love everything about it.

Thank you Stephanie and Brad for letting me capture little Brody. I had a ball.

Johnny Danger {Benicia Family photographer}

July 8, 2010

It always amazes me that I’m as lucky as I am. I have GREAT clients. (And a fabulous job to boot.) Getting to shoot Amy and her family was like a dream. I mean, as a clothes horse myself, I really do love it when my clients have an interest in fashion. But I’m over joyed when their husbands do too! I love that John had almost as many accessories with him as Amy. Thank you John, for being a good sport. Seriously, you’re awesome.

Johnny, at 17 months, was an absolute riot. This kid is obsessed with trains. Obsessed. If I had known in advance that this kid could be first in line at the Thomas the Train convention, I may have steered them towards a different location. But as luck would have it, we could hear the trains passing us from our Benicia destination. Every 10 minutes or so we’d stop shooting and let Johnny point and yell and just generally be excited at the passing train cars. I loved it!

I had so much fun with you guys. And I just know our boys would have a budding Bromance.
