Daisy turns 2!

Last summer I got to meet Daisy for her one-year-old photos. She’s probably one of the cutest little girls ever, with her big blue eyes and curly blonde hair! She reminds me of Cindy Lou Hoo from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Now, this beautiful little girl turns TWO! She’s sassy, opinionated, and has already …

One-year-old Ilana

One-year-olds are so cute! They’re just getting more stable on their feet but there’s still that wobbly cuteness that comes with trying to maneuver different surfaces. I loved getting to watch Ilana figure out the beautiful park we met in. She was hesitant to offer us a smile at first, but once she got going, …

My birthday buddy

I love when photographers can be friends and help each other out with photography needs we can’t do ourselves… like portraits of ourselves! I know this lovely photographer from our church, and she almost completely forgot about newborn/family photos since her little guy was born early December. I was glad to help out and grab …

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 …

Vihana is One!

This little cutie turned one year old just a few days before our session! Grandma and Grandpa were visiting from India just in time to join us as we captured her cuteness! This family was such a delight, and Lake Elizabeth in Fremont was beautiful as always! (I love watching my “usual” places change over …

Baby brother on the way!

I learned a new baby-naming tradition with this cute family, expecting their second cutie! They choose the name based on their Holy Book and the day the baby is born. There are different letters associated with different days. I could tell that they are anxiously awaiting the day they can make the decision! Big sis …

When the Grandparents are here… photos!!

I’ve have enjoyed many family sessions this summer/fall that included the grandparents, and this one was no exception! Connie’s mom and dad were visiting from overseas for just a short time, so I am glad we were able to get together for a family shoot! I know that the kids, Anson and Kelsie, will miss …

Aaaand… action!

When Breanna contacted me about doing some head shots to boost her musical theater career, I knew I was in for a treat. She was such a delight to work with, not to mention she’s gorgeous. 🙂 It rained off and on during our session, but we won’t let a little dampness stop us! I …
