Mountain View Palo Alto Child Photographer | One Year Old Sweetie Pie

I wonder if it starts to sound cliche when I say that I just loved this session.  I seem to walk away loving every session.  But I did.  I loved this session.

I loved this little girl’s face.

I loved her quiet concentration.

I loved watching the love that just oozed from her mommy and daddy.

I loved how hard everyone was willing to work to get her to smile, to look at the camera, to do that thing she does where she bends her head off to the side (sorry–I can’t remember what the Chinese words were.  But I know I heard the request a lot and did my best to say it too!)

I loved that I got to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with these loving parents all so we could  get this sweetie to look at us.  And if I do say so myself, I think we all sounded DARN GOOD!

I loved this session.

Because, really, what’s not to love?

I love her gigantic smile here.  Her daddy loves her so so much.  He was working very hard to get that sweetie to smile.  I mean, that man got a workout!

I loved her smilie face, but gosh, did I ever love her serious face too.  See what I mean?

Look!  A bird!

This one cracked me up.  What is this mysterious Cheerio doing stuck on my finger???

Ahhh…. So many favorites.

But what about that one?  The one where she bends her head to the side???  Did I get that one?  HURRAY!  I DID!  And I love it MADLY.

Thank you so much, P family!  I enjoyed watching you interact with each other and your daughter.  She is absolutely gorgeous and your love for her just warmed my heart.

Hayward/Castro Valley Children’s Photographer | Yeah, right, they don’t get along

I always interview my clients to get a sense of what they are looking for in a photography session and to learn more about the kids and their personalities.  One of my standard questions is: “do the siblings get along?”

Well, the short answer to this question was “no.”

As we talked, I learned that there were some things the girls liked to do together, and I was determined to get those girls getting along and being happy for our session.  When we first started our session, I could see what the mom was talking about as the girls fought over some props I had brought to the session.  But soon the sibling rivalry that I saw rearing it’s ugly head disappeared to the sounds of happy peals of laughter.  Ahhhh…. success!

This picture just might be my most favorite picture of the session.  I love her squooshed little nose and happy laugh.  I can almost hear it.

And here’s another favorite.

Gosh, so many favorites….

Thank you so much M family!  I loved our session!  If you can get 35 of your friends or family to comment on this blog post with their email (only viewable by me), you’ll get a free 5×7.  If you can get 50,  you get an 8×10.  :)

Castro Valley Baby Photographer | 5 month old bubba

Such a little sweetie with super cool parents. :)

I love how dad’s arms and legs frame her here.  She’s still too young to sit up on her own.

Her parents actually got married at this park and now, they return with their sweet bundle of love.  I loved how these turned out!

And I think this photo is one of my favorites from the session.  I just love the wonder of it all.

San Francisco Bay Area Photographer | Sisters

I fell in love with these girls.

I didn’t mean to.

But I couldn’t help it.  You’re about to see what I mean.  And we’ll just see if you can help yourself.

Just look at them.  So sweet and smily.  So loving.  They were perfect.  Truly truly perfect.  Awwwww…. They made my job all sorts of super easy.  Gosh.  I really love these pics.

This picture makes me smile, right down to little V’s curled toes.  Sigh….

And what can I say about this one, except to say that Big Sister A loves her little sister and has all sorts of patience for her.

A sisterly kiss.  I can’t stand how much I love this one….

So, this is little V.  She’s one.  And she is very very cute. 

And here’s Big Sister A.  She’s four.   And she is very very cute.

So, you see what I mean, don’t you?  You fell in love too, didn’t you?

It’s like, you just can’t help it.

San Francisco Bay Area Family Photographer | Three boys. Triple the fun. Triple the laughter. Triple the love.

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted anything.  Sorry!  I’ve been so so busy!  But, I had to share these sweet boys.

These boys made me think of one of my favorite quotes from Storypeople.

I always wanted to invent something that

would move around & make funny noises

& would change the world as we know it &

I forgot all about that until we had kids &

now I see I came pretty close.

See, I have one boy. One glorious boy.  I love that boy.  ADORE that boy.  If I had THREE?  What would happen to my heart?  Would it explode??  Or would I go INSANE?

Um, actually, I think I might go insane.

But not their mama.  No, their mama was SO calm and patient.  Well, heck, maybe she saves her going-insane-time for her private moments, but all I saw were two very calm parents, who love their children so much, they hired a photographer to capture their personalities.

I was honored to do just that.

Meet the little guy of the family, Mr. L.  This little guy stole my heart.  A little man of few words, but with the most expressive face.  Such a doll.

And then there was Mr. K.  OK, this guy has a LOT of energy.  I mean, A LOT of energy.

I had a lot of fun trying to keep up with him.  Look at that face.  He’s a little charmer.

And not to be outdone by his two younger brothers, meet Mr. M., the oldest boy.  What can I say about Mr. M?  Well, let me just start by saying that my daughter and he would make an excellent couple.  I’m just sayin’….  I adored photographing this guy.  He was sooooooo sweet and really was on his best behavior.

Most of the time, that is….

And last, but not least, one of my favorite little shots of these critters.  Just look at Little L’s face!

Thank you, M family.  I had a wonderful time with your family!  If you get 35 of your friends or family to comment on this post (with their email address–only viewable by me), you get a 5×7 print of your favorite image for freeeeee!  If you get 50 comments, you get an 8×10 for…. you guessed it… FREEEEE!
