Ms. Madison and my baby, Grayson, share a birthday. Because of this fact alone, I knew I would like her. I felt like Renee (her mother) and I have a bond. Labor, childbirth, recent first birthday parties…. We totally did those things together! (Even if we weren’t actually together.)  I do also realize that I could just be a stalker wanting people to like me!

We got rained out of our first attempt at shooting Madison’s 1 year portraits, but luckily, we came up with an even better, and even more fun location for the make-up session.  Canyon Creek Ranch.  Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. (And I’m holding myself accountable for taking Grayson there when he is old enough to get on a horse!)

I had a lot of fun with you guys, so thank you Renee and Jason, for being willing to follow me and my crazy antics. I think the photos we got were worth every mud covered shoe!

I was so excited for this photo shoot.  Sheila and I met about 4 years ago when we were planning our weddings.  And her wedding, hands down, was killer.  In fact, if you happen to have the same fascination with all things white and fluffy like I do, you may have seen her on the show Whose Wedding is it Anyway.  She’s just that cool.

Sheila contacted me a few months ago to set up a shoot when she was back in California for the Thanksgiving holiday.  (Can you tell I’m behind on my blogging!?)  She has a close family and they all wanted to take pictures.  It was a blast.  And, thanks to Sheila, I now have a lovely new location in Palo Alto.

Thank you all for braving the cold with me!

Isn’t she just a ham?  I’m CONVINCED this one is going places.  With a personality as big as hers, she’s bound to succeed!

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.

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.

Have I mentioned how much I love toddlers? I really really do. Maybe it’s because I know my little guy will be there soon. (Ok, we have about a year to go – but time flies!) Or it could be that I just really love watching their little wobbly steps as the they take on the world. Either way, they make me smile.

Logan was no exception. This kid was a speed demon. If we had let him, I’m pretty sure he could have walked the 7 miles across San Francisco with a smile on his face the entire way. My kind of kid!

Jennifer and Ray, thank you for letting me spend a Sunday morning with you. I can’t wait for round 2!
