Lilianna's 3rd Birthday

Lilianna is such a sweetheart and you can see what a happy toddler she is with that infectious smile.  Love this little girl and so happy her birthday was so special for a birthday princess. Happy birthday, sweet Lilianna!  

Mike & Carolyn ~ Welcome Henry!

I am in love with this little man.  He was all of six days old and is just precious!  I can't wait to photograph his six month and one year milestones in the coming months.  But for now, Henry's schedule is snooze, eat, repeat. 

Ella's 3rd Birthday

Two bounce houses, face painting and cupcakes.  You could not ask for more!  What a fun morning with friends and dozens of three-year-olds.  Happy birthday, sweet Ella!

Eric & Sabrina ~ Welcome Baby Cooper!

I love newborn photography sessions, especially seeing how siblings interact with their new family member.  Cole was so loving towards his baby brother, Cooper and I love capturing those sweet moments between them.  Congratulations to Sabrina and Eric on their handsome little addition to the family!

Sydney's Birthday ~ Park

It was a gorgeous sunny day at the park and Birthday Girl Sydney mingled non-stop with family and friends.  She even took a moment to walk a dog with her little buddy!  Big Sister Taylor did not miss out on the fun as she played with her cousins and enjoyed an icee cone.  What a fun birthday!!!

Dan & Monica ~ Berkeley

What a beautiful park in Berkeley Hills and I just love photographing this family each year.  Robert is so playful and sweet.  Look at his smile!  He is just such a cutie.  I cannot wait to meet their additions to the family!

Lucy's 3rd Birthday

I have never seen so much pink in one room before and it was ADORABLE!  Lucy's mommy is so crafty and added all these special touches to make a beautiful tutu birthday.  It was wonderful to be able to watch Audrey have a great time at the party while I was able to capture precious moments for Lucy to look back on one day.  Happy birthday, Lucy!  We love you!

Visiting Family ~ Orange County

Audrey and I flew down to Orange County to visit relatives and their respective pets (6 dogs and 2 cats).  She loved splashing in the pool and was not used to warm weather.  When I put her in the car, she complained her car seat was warm which never happens in San Francisco, lol.  Such a fun summer trip before she starts preschool.

Maggie & James ~ Welcome Sadie!

This was my first experience where I was photographed while photographing the family!  Big brother Leo received his very first camera from Baby Sadie and he was snapping away.  Too funny!  He's such a good brother to little Sadie and so gentle with her.  She was just too precious for words!  I wanted to take her home but thought that may be a little awkward for her parents.  :)

Darcy & Brian ~ Park

What a gorgeous sunny day for playing in the park with Luke and his parents.  He is such a cutie and showed me around his playground while giving me flirty smiles all morning.  The absolute best part of the morning was watching Luke practice his golf swing.  I have to say, his form is much better than mine and he hit the ball almost 100% of the time.  Wow, future golf champion!  And I cannot wait to meet Baby Boy!  So fun!

My Family ~ Rodeo Beach

My husband and I enjoy exploring the city and once in a blue moon, we actually leave the city to venture into the great beyond.  We headed over the Golden Gate Bridge for a hike to Rodeo Beach and wow, were we rewarded with beautiful scenery!  I would love to take a family to this beach because of the gorgeous clay-colored hillsides and luscious green pathways.  This outing has definitely made our top ten list for weekend fun.

Mike & Hannah ~ Welcome Baby Noah!

Oh my goodness, I just wanted to hold Baby Noah to entire photography session!  He is not even two weeks old and is such a cuddlebug!  I feel so lucky to be able to capture a few of his first moments and I hope his mom and dad show his future bride how cute he looked in a teddy bear hat.  :)

Happy Birthday, Pablo! ~ Pump It Up

I had a blast celebrating Pablo's 3rd birthday with his family and his superhero sidekick, Loveable.  It was by the third piece of birthday cake that Pablo could not stop smiling ear-to-ear.  He is a really sweet and loveable kiddo.  Happy birthday, Pablo!
