Friends & the Beach

When these dear friends asked if I could capture a few Christmas photos for them, I was delighted! Although, the beach certainly didn’t look very Christmas-y. But hey, it’s California… it’s how we roll. We met up with them and their almost-one-year-old and their happy puppy and enjoyed the waves. My poor husband came along …

More twins!

Y’all may know this already as this is not my first session with twins, but I have a soft spot for twins since I have one myself. This session was such a delight, finding that not only were the two cutest little ones twins, but much of the extended family are also in this wonderful …

Fall and four months old

If you don’t already know this, fall is my favorite season. Not only does the weather cool off but the colors… ohhhh the colors! Orange, yellow, red, green… amazing. Doing a session at one of my favorite parks with the autumn colors makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. And I thoroughly …

Some families schedule portraits for specific birthdays and life events, and some do it just because. This family decided to do the latter, and I’m so glad they did! We had such a fun time. Addie completely stole the show!  

Six months and loving it

Her grandparents were visiting from India, so we have three generations in one place. What a blessing!   Here are a few of my favorites from our session… …

Albert is One!

I had a lovely time with these British ex-pats who now call Silicon Valley home. Their first little one — Albert — celebrated his 1st birthday the day after our shoot! He was a little angel and I loved getting to know this family. I also learned a new word: chuffed. Any other Brits out …

Small world moment

When this family contacted me about doing a photography session for their adorable 3-month-old, we discovered that we attend the same church! This made it feel more like family, and I loved getting to spend some time with little Matt, plus mom, dad, and the grandparents!
