I had such a great time with Sophia during her maternity milk bath photo shoot. It was slow-paced (at least compared to the proposals and weddings I’m used to!), relaxing, and really enjoyable — we bonded as mothers between shots, and talked about our birth stories and other… motherly things.

We were beyond happy when we heard from Teryn and David a few months after their wedding, telling us that they were expecting an addition to the family! Fast forward to a few months later, we met them at one of our favorite spots, the Arastradero Preserve, for their maternity photos in Palo Alto. Oh my gosh did Teryn look stunning as usual, with that cute baby bump to remind us little Maxwell will be here in a couple of months! [ read more … ]

Baby Niles’s nursery is absolutely picture-perfect. Everything in his room is so cute and cohesive — letters, pictures, lots of elephants (Anna’s favorite animal), and their very protective puppy guarding baby Niles the whole time. [ read more … ]

It’s time for Leo’s half-year shoot! I’ve had so much fun watching Ruth’s family grow over the past few years, and with how fast kids grow up and change, every shoot has brought something new. Leo was such a cheerful little baby, and we all had a great time with these San Francisco beach family photos on a warm, sunny evening. [ read more … ]

Meet Aurelia, the most adorable little baby girl with the cutest curly hair and chubbiest round cheeks! I had the pleasure of photographing Tina and Keith’s little family, and I enjoyed spending every moment with them under this beautiful sunset. Aurelia is almost 11 months old now, and she’s already starting to walk! She also loves to pull on Mama’s hair and play with those sparkly earrings. Aside from being a great mom, I’m told that Tina is also an exceptional baker, and we’re looking forward to tasting one of her cakes at a wedding we’ll be photographing next year — what a small world!
