I went down to San Jose the other day and had a great visit and baby portrait session with Beth & Joe and their new son Ryder! My favorites are posted here for your viewing pleasure! Look for a baby announcement to be made from the session and posted soon as well.
We just purchased a number of great new photo props for babies and have done numerous sessions in the last couple weeks. Here are some of my favorites.
This is our new baby pedestal. It’s great for newborns! This precious baby was only 2 weeks old!
This is our new baby wicker basket which is just perfect for babies around 3 months old.
This is a different baby in the same basket. Babies as old as 6 months will still photograph beautifully in the basket.
This is our new baby claw foot bathtub. This is one of the most fun of the new props and is great for babies 6 months or a little older (when they can hold themselves upright).
I want to give a big thanks out to all the babies that modeled for me in the last couple weeks! I’ve got a couple more props on order including a mini chaise lounge which should arrive early June and some baby wings for the precious little angels. Call now to book your baby portrait session!
We had another great maternity session in the studio last week. Here are my favorite images.
It’s that beautiful time of year again with the cherry blossoms in full bloom and love in the air! We’ve got engagement sessions almost every week and sometimes two, so you should see lots of updates in the blog. This is the latest engagement session which included stops at Golden Gate Park and then the Legion of Honor and finally China Beach. It was another gorgeous day and another stunning sunset. Enjoy!
Marilyn and Gary started off a little bit shy (as does almost everyone) but they warmed up and started having fun very quickly.
Here I’m trying out a new technique I learned recently using a video light which after color correction subsequently turns the background blue. I think it’s a really cool effect.
This is one of my favorite photos of the day. It’s got a great sense of perspective with foreground, middle and background all lending to the beauty of the image.
I don’t know quite what it is, but I always love the cross process look. Especially at the beach!
I need a thesaurus… how many other words are there for beautiful/gorgeous/stunning sunsets?
I really like this image too 
Aren’t they just so cute in love!
I had a wonderful engagement session last week with this beautiful couple and their son. These are my favorite images from the session. Please feel free to leave comments!
We started our session at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park.
There were many great spots for photos all around. I especially like the little blue flowers that were in bloom on the hillside.
I caught this moment as we were wrapping up the location. The light shining down the path was just gorgeous.
We found some terrific cherry blossom trees to take photographs under.
Their son was full of energy and great to work with.
We ended up at China Beach for some great sunset photos.
I really love this one of the three of them just watching the sunset.
