It made my heart smile when T told me that she wanted to do some mommy and me pictures with her little girl. As I look back on the last 11 months of my son’s life, I realize that as both the mom and the photographer – I’m all too often behind the camera. And most of my clients tell me they same thing! It always seems to be mom behind the camera.
My favorite part of the shoot, was that T brought her little girl out to Clayton to the very spot where she and her husband were married. T’s face lit up when we got there. I love when my clients pick meaningful locations for the pictures. I think the emotional attachment always shows through.
Thank you T for spending the afternoon with me!

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!

These two were some of the most adorable kids I’ve ever had the pleasure of capturing. Sure, they made me work for every single shot I got, but I got to hear about their favorite toys. I learned that their dad really really likes football. And I was told about how big and fun their dogs are. I hope I get a chance to chase them around for a full session in the near future.

When I planned these sessions, I stuck an early slot in there genuinely thinking that I’d have to beg and plead someone to get up that early on a cold fall morning. Thankfully I never had to do that! Alison jumped on the chance to join me at 8am. I was so pumped to have such and awesome family to shoot first thing. And don’t let the pleasant smiles fool you, these three are hilarious.
Here is just a quick sneak peak from the mini session:
Thank you Alison for being just a little bit crazy and meeting me so early in the morning!

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!
