Christmas Portraits

I took some time out before I had to go do a photo shoot today and did some portraits of my baby boy. We went to the side of the road that I have been wanting to go for a while and I blogged about it a week ago and today seemed like the perfect day. We only ended up being there like 10 minutes because it was cold today. But I didn't want to wait until it wormed up and risk that the leafs will be all gone.

I wish my backyard looked like this....



Exploring the leafs and posing. He can be such a poser sometimes.



I though this background was cool. Its not too late to schedule a session this week to get a quick session in this setting before the leafs are all gone.



He was about to throw these at me...



Laughing Shots.... Yes he got me with the leafs....

S Family Portraits

I have been photographing both of these kids for as long as I can remember since they have been babies. Check ot some of the portraits we did on Sunday. It was a cold day but both kids did a great job smiling for the portraits.

W Family Portraits

On Saturday I did a session of these 2 girls. I remember them last Christmas they were so small they sure are growing up fast. Whats more exciting is that mom is expecting baby #3. I can't wait to meet the new member of the family during next years portraits. Here are a few portraits from the session.

T Family Portraits

I just did a session of a family of six. I must say purple is really nice and different from what I am use to seeing for portraits. I think I might just do purple next year for my family portraits :-) Great Job in the outfit coordination Suzette :-)

Puppies 6 weeks old

In between taking some portraits of the girls I snapped a few portraits of a couple of the puppies. I do plan on sharing some of the rest of the puppies but for now here are the couple I have done.

Puppy Love

I had some extra time today so we did some puppy playing with our puppies portraits of a good friends daughters. Check out some of my favorites :-) The puppies defiantly got some exposure to lots of playtime with kids today.

G Family Portraits

Sometimes during a session I really love to catch portraits of the moments in between the moments we are trying to capture on film. I love candid moments because they are so natural and different every time. Check out some of the portraits from the session I did today.






Some of those candid moments I just love to shoot...



Another favorite thing I like to capture is expressions. The kids expressions change so frequently as they grow. I like to capture as many expressions as I can.

Family Session Collages

My favorite thing to do is to take a family to the park and let them play and be happy. I love to capture those natural smiles and moments that normally you don't have the camera pointed at you. Here is a collage of some candidts from a session from a little while back.

C Family Portraits

Another fun day this weekend. Drove over to Pleasanton over to a park my client chose. I have never been there but I must say they had this really cute building I fell in love with and I just love how the kids listened to everything I wanted them to do. Check out some of the sneak peaks from the session.

Growing up so fast. He looks like a little man here.


They did this pose on their own.


I laugh every time I look at these big smiles...

W Family Portraits

I had the great pleasure of photographing these 4 girls. These are 2 sets of girl twins. One set is 4 years old and the other set is 9 years old. We did a very short session at the park. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

You got to love this many kids running after you...
