For this maternity session, Melissa really wanted a spot near the water but that had lots of trees for variety. The levels of water at Lake Chabot were really high and we found some really cool spots where the staircases just ended in the water. It added a new and unique element to a spot I enjoy shooting at and made for some lovely photos. Their pup also joined us for some family photos.

I got to meet this little guy one week after he was born, which was a real treat. It’s always special to capture the very early days of a new family. Congratulations on becoming parents and welcoming such a sweet little one into your family!

It was so much fun to meet Turquoise and Brandon to celebrate their growing family! Our maternity session was on a lovely Saturday morning (we were lucky enough to avoid the rain) and they were so natural in front of the camera. The connection between these two is so evident in these photos, which makes me excited for their baby to be born into that love. Looking forward to meeting your little guy!

This is the third year I’ve gotten this fun family in front of my camera for holiday photos – does that mean this is a new tradition? All joking aside, I enjoy sessions with these four, since we all know each other and they make my job easy by being so great in front of the camera.

After I get to do a maternity shoot with a family, I always start getting excited to meet their little one for newborn photos. It’s so cool to capture both sides of such a big life event. This little lady was so sweet and was more than happy to cuddle up for some photos with mom, dad and big brother.

Family Photos: the Mullens (Dublin, California)

Take one silly girl and two fun parents and you get a great set of photos! I was happy to meet up with this family again and spend a morning taking photos. One of the things I enjoy most about family photo sessions is when personalities shine through and when the relationships between the family members are caught on camera. These photos both of those things!

Family Photos: the Groenenbergs (Berkeley, CA)

These photos make me so happy! Good friends, an outgoing little girl with tons of personality, a great location and beautiful lighting. I can’t ask for a better photo session.

Family Photos: the Burtons (Livermore, CA)

This family has so much fun together and you can tell from their photos! I appreciated that they were willing to get goofy in front of the camera and have a great time. We met up at a spot that I’ve shot at many times, but we were able to roam and find some awesome new nooks and crannies all over.

Family Photos: the Penticos (Castro Valley, CA)

This fall photo session was great timing for so many reasons – a little girl celebrating her first birthday, family photos for those holiday cards and a little surprise (scroll down to the end of the post for that). It’s always a pleasure to catch up with this family and spend time with them.

And, I also got to help them share some exciting news – this little girl is going to be a big sister!

Maternity Photos: the Taylors (Castro Valley, California)

This is such a unique location for a photo session and I’ve always, always wanted to shoot at a Christmas Tree farm. (Random, I know, but it’s so pretty!) Since the baby was due in December, this mama actually suggested visiting the Christmas Tree farm. I had the honor of joining them while they cut down their tree and kicking off the holiday season with such a fun shoot!
