Megan & David’s Couple Portraits at Gamble Garden | Palo Alto Family Photographer

Megan & David have been married for two years and have been in the Bay Area for a year, so this was a good time to get some great couple photos. We went out for a portrait session at the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden in Palo Alto during the beautiful fall season. They brought their adorable and very well-behaved dog along which was a lot of fun, and even bought him a cute hoodie with ear flaps for this shoot! It was well worth the investment as we got a lot of great shots. See their photos below:

Mabel & Andy’s Family Photos at Washington Park | Burlingame Family Photographer

Mabel first contacted us 6 months ago, and we scheduled a family session later in the year because Ethan was only 9 month old back then. Now little Ethan is (a little bit) grown up and can walk on his own. Kaitlyn is a really caring big sister! She is sweet and happy and loves giving her family hugs and kisses. Mabel and Andy also brought along their 7 year old Husky, Mac, who loooooves his treats.

2 adults + 2 kids + 1 dog = a perfect family!

Violet Smashing the Cake | Bay Area Baby Birthday Photography

Little Violet is one year old! She is OH SO adorable!! I LOVE everything of this cake smashing set up. Everything is, literally, violet — the banner, the cake, the blanket, the necklace, the hair bands, and even the custom made diaper! Little Violet certainly enjoyed that cake as she flipped it over and smashed the whole thing 🙂

Happy birthday Violet!

Norwood Family Photos at Mitchell Park | Palo Alto Family Portrait Photographer

The Norwood family recently moved to California from Texas, and I’m thrilled to shoot their yearly family photos for 2014! Peter and Jeannette are a sweet couple and Aaron was full of energy and climbed on everything he could in that park 🙂 And I have to say, Aaron was quite the model — I didn’t have to pose him or anything, my camera just loved him!

Peter, Jeannette and Aaron, welcome to the Bay Area!
