I got to meet the sweetest baby girl today...part of my job is figuring out what positions each baby likes and will let me achieve. This sweet girl liked to be swaddled...really tight. When she felt secure, she was a dream :) Enjoy your sneak peek, mom and dad!

Loved this tiny foot :)

Loved the light in their place! And how sweet that daddy is still wearing the hospital band :)

Rosy glow for miss sweet pea...sigh :)

Wedding day! | San Francisco East Bay Wedding Photographer

2010-03-07T16:40:00.000-08:00

I had the honor of photographing this sweet couple last night! They were such a joy, and could not have picked a better day to get married! Beautiful weather, fun, family and friends! Enjoy your peek, you two, and thanks for the great evening!

The handsome groom...

The beautiful bride...

This couple did something called a "first look" which happens when they decide to see each other before the wedding in order to get some pictures out of the way...and in this case it worked out perfectly since after the ceremony it was very dark outside...we were able to get all of these fun shots of them together!

One quick peek at the ceremony site!

Beautiful ceremony with tiny lights everywhere!

Sweet Sisters! |SF East Bay/Peninsula Photographer

2010-03-05T20:57:00.000-08:00

I must say one of the best parts of my job is to watch little ones grow through pictures...I've had the pleasure and honor of photographing these sweet girls for a long time now! When I showed up, I just couldn't believe how much they had grown, and really become so much more beautiful! Enjoy your sneak peek, mom! And thank you!!

Started off with big sister...

Then on to smiley little sister!

Tulips are in bloom!

Had ourselves a little tea party!

Cheers!

...and well, if you have on a tutu, you simply MUST spin!

More smiles :)

Well, and if you have a tutu on, well, who wants to take it off?

Had a wonderful session tonight with this adorable family! They are on my baby plan, and it's such a pleasure to watch these little ones grow! I got to capture a few "firsts" tonight, and his reaction to grass, gazebo, the dirt...all priceless! So thankful it was sunny and nice out :) Enjoy!

Started inside...

Then, we went for a walk to a local park!

Sweet moment with mommy...

...and how cute is this? They celebrate his "month birthdays" with a little cake...no, baby doesn't get any, but it's still a reason to celebrate, right?

I had the fun opportunity to visit this sweet baby in her lovely home this morning...such a beautiful family and so much fun! It's so clear how much they love their little girl, and how quick sweet daddy is ready to dote on her :) Made me smile for sure! Lately my style is being honed in more, and I'm really enjoying these "in home" small moments shoots...thanks to this sweet baby's mom and dad for allowing me so much flexibility...makes for such a fun day!!

Isn't this bracelet awesome??? A little birdie told me where to get them...yay!

Smart Start | SF East Bay Area/Fremont/Union City Child and Baby Photographer

2010-02-06T17:15:00.001-08:00

I had a great time today! Got to meet up with a friend that I haven't seen in a long time. She's opening a brand new school in Newark, Ca called Smart Start!

It.is.FABULOUS. Before photography, I was heavy into early childhood education, taught...directed...took loads of units beyond my BA degree just because. Debated taking it further...was talking to an EC Analyst about maybe working for the state in terms of licensing, and then I paused to have my own kids and life took off in a different direction (enter photography). So just know that I don't say that a school is fabulous very often.

Anyhow, back to Amber. She is the owner of this great school and asked me to come photograph their opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony! She is one of the strongest people I know, and I'm so proud of her accomplishments...check it out!

Sweet baby girl! | SF East Bay Area/Fremont/Union City Newborn Photographer

2010-01-25T19:46:00.000-08:00

Yay! I was so pleased when this great photog mom asked me to come over and help her photograph her baby (actually, I think I begged, ha ha!)...Such a great afternoon spent learning each other's techniques and loving on her sweet baby girl!! Thanks, Krista, for allowing me this great honor!

Sweet mom let me borrow her 100mm macro, sweet!

Yay on this shot too!!
One for the scrapbook, mom!

Went outside for a bit...

He liked my box...a lot :)

Then inside for yummy cake!

I had the easiest session today that I've had in awhile...such a sweet baby! She was happy as all get out at the beginning of the session and gave us some sweet pictures...and then at the end...well, just see for yourself (I think my photog friends can understand how rare it is for an 8 week baby to let me curl and pose them--usually I try to get them under 2 weeks)! Enjoy your sneak peek, mom and dad!

This is mom's wedding sari!

Twins! Identical Baby Girls! | SF East Bay Area/Fremont/Union City Newborn Photographer

2010-01-02T14:45:00.001-08:00

I got to meet these beautiful baby girls today! They are a month old--it can be a difficult age to photograph since they are moving beyond the sleepy baby phase and into a more awake phase...so we started off wide awake and eventually they fell asleep! What fun we had! Check them out, and enjoy your sneak peek, mom and dad!!

Sweet brother with his sisters ;)

Nestldown Wedding | San Jose/Fremont/Los Gatos Wedding Photographer

2009-12-31T20:57:00.000-08:00

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a beautiful couple at a very prestigous place yesterday! It's a place called Nestldown in the Santa Cruz Mountains (but technically Los Gatos). What a fun experience to shoot where many great photogs before me have gone :). It was a cold, chilly winter wedding...we feared rain, but were greeted with a dry day and even a bit of sunshine!! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Started off with the lovely ladies...

...then the groom arrived...

Off to get married!

They had this wonderful old taxi that took people among the different levels of Nestldown...

...and a sweet cottage where the bride and groom could share a moment...

...but I HAD to get the bride alone on this fabulous bench!!!

...sneaking a peek at them ;)

Then, off to party at the reception where they played a fun shoe game!

...and danced :)

This baby turned 1! I've had the pleasure of photographing her all year long! She's gorgeous, with huge brown eyes that look deep into your soul. I will miss her dearly! Today she brought along grandma and grandpa from both sides! I feel like it's so important to take generational pictures...enjoy your sneak peek, E, wonderful to see you, as always!

Started off with just baby girl...

she's walking now!!

fun with the grandparents...she loves her grandpa like my own kids do...sometimes only grandpa will do...

...and this brings me to my favorite shot of the night...I was about to toss this one...marked for deletion...then I took another look. I loved the way it showed the love between baby girl and grandparents...mutual on both sides...it really showed things from her perspective and I didn't mind the chopped heads so much after that :) It turned out to be my favorite...funny how those things happen!

Engagement! | SF East Bay Area/Fremont/Union City Wedding Photographer

2009-12-20T20:54:00.000-08:00

Known her since she was 16 years old, and have come to adore the man she's chosen for herself too! Enjoy your sneak peek sweet couple, and thanks for choosing me for your wedding...can't wait! Love!

Started off simple and fun...

It was an honor to do these 1 year old pictures...I've known this baby's mommy since I was 14 and her daddy before that! It is so fun to still be friends and watch their little ones grow :).

I had the wonderful pleasure of shooting a wedding yesterday...beautiful fall day, beautiful couple! It was at the Pulgas Water Temple and the reception was in Hillsborough. Congratulations to this wonderful couple. It was a true joy to be a part of their special day! Thank you both, and enjoy your sneak peek :)

My second shooter for today was the lovely Krista Lund...great to work with you!

Started off with the handsome groom...

Meanwhile...his groomsmen were up to something :)
Goofing around...

Off to get married...
The beautiful bride arrives...stoic and stunning...
Great smile :)

The bride was very specific that she wanted to capture the groom's face the second he saw her...I kept my camera trained on him and clicked away...this was one of my favorites :)
Isn't this such a neat place for a ceremony?
Loved the way he only had eyes for her ;)

They discovered the truck...

Very "fall" themed and little pumpkins and gourds were everywhere!
Everyone was having fun at the reception...
Time for toasts...

First dance...

2009-09-27T20:44:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since I posted an I heart Faces post (www.iheartfaces.com)...I was inspired by the guest judge this week and her talent for capturing her children in every day type settings. It's been awhile since I made any kind of blog post with my own children and wanted to participate this week. Sy is my middle boy...so full of spunk and life...tenacious...always trying to catch up to his big brother. This is my post for the theme "blue."

Urban Baby | SF East Bay/Fremont/San Jose Photographer

2009-09-20T09:06:00.000-07:00

I was so excited when this mom told me she wanted something a little more edgy...more urban for her 9 month old baby...awesome! Downtown is the perfect place to capture that! Beautiful evening, beautiful light! Enjoy your sneak peek :)

Love this precious face she kept making!!

Sweet moment caught with dad in between wardrobe changes :)

Union City-ites...recognize Paddy's coffee??

Golden evening light...pretty much SOOC...

Funniest part of the evening...this 9 monther told her mommy to "Shhh" not once, wait for it...
But twice!! HAHAHA! You're such a good sport, mom :)

But, it was worth it, b/c she gave us this after :)

Baby turns 1! | SF East Bay Area/Fremont/San Jose Newborn Photographer

2009-09-19T15:35:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable 1 year old today! She was so fun, great happy smile, and so smart. Thank you so much, mom and dad, for the opportunity, it was great to see you! Enjoy your sneak peek ;)

I generally start out on the backdrop...

Mom had this adorable Indian outfit for baby girl to wear...baby girl was not so much into the bangles, however...

Nice thing about an in-home photographer...we can take breaks! Baby girl needed a break, and this moment happened naturally...she is truly loved!

A little bit of diva coming out! (psssst...how great is this couch??)

B/W or color? Couldn't decide :)

2009-09-11T20:00:00.000-07:00

This little cutie is on my baby plan (I shoot her periodically throughout her first year!)...and today was her 6 month shoot. She was sitting well, and so happy to see me! This age is so great...they aren't quite on the move yet, but full of personality...check it out!

Started out on the pink...

This kind of shot is important to me b/c it just shows HER...no props, clothes...just HER!

She loved the feel of the backdrop :)
Mom didn't have a bow that matched this outfit, so I found a flower and whipped one up for her real quick ;)

Lovely girls :)

Time to party!

Fun groom had a hilarious dance planned for his bride...this was the end of it :)
Lovely couple dance the night away ;)

This was the sweetest little boy! So precious in so many ways and had the most perfect round head :) He was 12 days old and slept perfectly for me...just beautifully! Enjoy your sneak peek, mom and dad!

I've seen this pose before and had to try it myself...not sure who to credit for the idea, but not exactly original to me...

This hat makes an appearance! And he looked too cute to boot!

Um...toes, pure cuteness!!

Then he let us have some fun!! Hanging baby! Again, not original to me...not sure who to credit...

We started out by their awesome blue Ford truck!

We tried so hard to be serious and get one of those "old school with a pitchfork" shots...but it's hard to be serious when you're having so much fun ;) Loved the barn though!

Then we went to this fantastic lake nearby!!

This fun family was up for anything which made my job so easy...sweet girls, sweet family :)

And then they took me to dinner after...how cool is that? Thanks guys, enjoy your sneak peek!

Our time together started with chairs...in a field ;). I told mom when she scheduled that I would love to do a family on a couch in a field...she told me, "Hmmm...I don't know of any fields with couches." I couldn't find a couch I loved, but thought this chair would do!

Gorgeous girls!

I liked a slightly softer, more hazy washed-out look to this pic...

Another chair ;)

Watch out world, here she comes...she asked me to do a couple of headshots so she can possibly go into acting...isn't she gorgeous!
