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, …

I love when photographers can be friends and help each other out with photography needs we can’t do ourselves… like portraits of ourselves!

This family was such a delight, and Lake Elizabeth in Fremont was beautiful as always! (I love watching my “usual” places change over …

He’s 4!

This family has a fun tradition of doing a photo session every year for Logan’s birthday. This year, he turned 4! (In July, but hey, who’s counting???) We found a beautiful little marina near Alviso for a wide open, nautical type setting. Great walking trails, and stunning views of San Francisco Bay! It took Logan …

Not quite fall…

I think we were all hoping that we could do a fall look for this family’s session, but it was almost record-breaking heat that afternoon! But the show must go on, and I think a great time was had by all! This was a great opportunity for them to get some nice family photos in …
