When my husband’s brother and his wife announced that they were expecting a little girl, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! I’ve shared before that I often dreamed a little girl and all the frilly and pink things associated with that…. I knew almost immediately that I’d hop on a plane the minute she was born so that I could take some photos for them. And take photos I did! I landed in LA and I don’t think I put my camera down for a minute.
Isn’t she a doll?
It melts my heart to be able to take photos for family. There is no pressure to be perfect. There is no weirdness if I ask you to hold your baby, naked, in the middle of a Christmas Tree Farm. There is no make-up, no wardrobe, and no expectations. It reminded me that I need to shot for myself more often. The raw love in these photos blows me away.
Thank you Patrick and Sarah for letting me come down and hold your little angel. She’s beautiful.

I seem to really be having problems narrowing down my photos. I just can’t pick one. This session is an all time favorite of mine. These two are truly wonderful people, and anyone who has as many dogs, goats and chickens as they do, just deserve some recognition! The cars, the animals and their wonderful personalities just won me over.
Truly a wonderful family!

Everything about this session was a dream. (You may even remember this gorgeous family from last years list of favorites!) This was the very end of the day, right as the sun was setting behind the mountains and baby Brody was starting to get tired. Everything just came together for the shot on the left. Definitely one of my favorites!

It always makes my heart happy when I get a call from a previous client. I feel like I get these amazing little glimpses into so many wonderful peoples’ lives and I always want to know how everyone is doing after our shoots. (To all my wonderful clients, I’m serious! Send me updates. I want to see your family grow, your babies start to walk, and any and all new pets that join your nest.)
You may remember Laura and Ross from their shoot with me last year. I was so incredibly excited to hear from Laura and thrilled for them that they were expecting a little girl. Getting to spend the morning with such wonderful new parents who are simply overwhelmed with love for their new child, exhausted, generally just in awe amazes me. Children are such a gift. And I’m reminded of their greatness every time I’m around them.
Lauren and Ross, thank you for allowing me into your family for a day. I truly enjoyed seeing you both so happy.
And of course the pups had to get in on the action. Plus, I’m just a sucker for a cute, squishy dog face.

When Melissa called me to tell me Baby Oliver had made an early appearance, I was so incredibly excited to meet the little guy. Melissa and Ron were so much fun during their maternity session, I was overflowing with anticipation for this shoot. And I was not disappointed. I had such a good time seeing how much these two took to being parents. There is so clearly an amazing amount of love in that house. It made my heart happy.
Melissa, your little guy is an absolute angel and it was truly a joy to meet him.

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.

I know, I know. The blog has been SLOW. I’ve had a good excuse though… it’s been busy! So, I’m back and I bring pictures. And a promise a of fabulous posts to come.
About a month ago, I received an email from a local photographer looking for some photos of herself. I’ve mentioned it before, but I feel like I have to say it again. I love shooting other photographers. Not only is it flattering, but it’s just a lot of fun. It’s a chance for me to learn and observe someone else who does what I do. And in the end, I hope to make a new friend! (Andrea, those drinks are calling!)
What I loved most though, was that Andrea brought along not only her husband, but her adorable dog Sydney. Since we decided to meet in the hills of Livermore – I couldn’t have been more excited for ANYTHING on four legs that could sniff out snakes. ((shudder)) I don’t do snakes.
Andrea, thank you again for spending the afternoon with me. You are fabulous.
Seriously, aren’t they cute!?
