Back in the blogging saddle {Livermore photographer}

Meg Sexton — Mon, 17 May 2010 16:54:24 +0000

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!?

Excited {Bay Area maternity photographer}

This little girl is a pretty lucky baby. Her parents are funny, really funny. The love they have for each other and for her already is indescribable. And they may not be a baby out there whose parents are more excited to me her.

Kori and Brian met at a party in college and from the details I’ve heard, they knew almost immediately that they were meant for each other. And really, I’m not sure I’ve met a couple more perfect for each other. From the jokes they told to the stories one would start and the other would finish, they just had a way about them. They were game for anything and everything I asked them to do, and never complained when I stuck them waist deep in wet grass. (I love it when clients trust me!) We dodged rain, dark clouds and freezing wind, but I am so excited about what we got. And Kori, you are simply stunning. You make a gorgeous pregnant lady!
Thank you Kori and Brien for being game for anything and everything. I had a blast in our makeshift flower patch.

Just a girl and her dog {Walnut Creek lifestyle photgrapher}

I feel so lucky to know Amy and Matt. Not only are they wonderful friends, they are simply hilarious people. The first time I met their dog, Reggie, he was wearing bright pink striped leg warmers and a bandanna in support of the raging 80’s party being thrown. It may well have been the funniest pet presentation I’ve ever seen. But that’s not the only funny they’ve accomplished. Whenever I’m around them my mouth aches from all the laughter. I was so excited when they told me they wanted pictures with Reggie. And I was even more excited when they trusted me to pick the location.

It hasn’t been very pretty in the San Francisco Bay Area lately. It’s been cold, foggy and all around wet. So when the skies cleared and a partially sunny day was in the forecast, I jumped at the chance to get out in the fresh air. We all hoped in the car and headed up the Mt. Diablo to Old Borges Ranch and wandered around. Mud be damned! Thankfully Reggie managed to enjoy every minute of the open space around him. I, on the other hand, needed to tread lightly and walk at the speed of an osteoporotic 90 year old. Don’t laugh, I’ve been known to face plant in much less precarious settings…

Thank you Amy and Matt for spending the afternoon with me. I really enjoyed watching the fun unfold.

Seriously Amy, you are gorgeous.

Another sweet baby girl {Walnut Creek newborn photographer}

Meg Sexton — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:25:04 +0000

There must be something in the water in 2010. I’m getting a wave of newborns and LOVING it.

Baby E was one of the sweetest newborns I’ve ever seen. At just under 2 weeks old she was wide awake and taking in the world around her. Despite the white noise, rocking, feeding and cuddles this baby girls just wanted to soak in the day. She was so sweet and calm that it didn’t matter.

The day of her session was storming and wouldn’t you know that the clouds broke the moment she fell asleep. It’s was just spectacular.

New year, new life {South Bay newborn photographer}

The new year seems to have brought with it a flood of newborns…and I couldn’t be happier. What other subject would let me bend their sleepy bodies or wrap them in oversized knit hats? (Well, that’s probably for the best!) I just love being around babies.

Little Mia was 11 days of perfection. She tolerated costume changes, location changes, and even a few diaper changes all without making a peep.

We had a few seconds in between rain storms, but I could help but take a quick few outside.

And this is almost the same photo – but I just love it in black and white. So I’m sharing both!

Thank you S family for letting me capture sweet baby Mia.

Light! {East Bay Maternity Photographer}

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I have wonderful friends and terrific clients. Jenni and I have been friends for a long time and I’m so excited to share her maternity pictures. Plus, she let me try something that may not have normally been her style. (Because she’s an awesome person!)

Jenni and Justin are having their first baby in the fall and were nice enough to let me lead them through snake infested fields. (No joke!) They believed me when I told them that ‘it would be totally cool if you laid on the ground in your nice skirt”. And they didn’t even bat an eyelash when I mentioned laying across the table touching a porta-potty. Troopers I tell ya!

Thank you J&J for believing me! I can’t wait to meet baby girl T.
