Family Photos: the Penticos (Castro Valley, California)

I always have a good time when taking pictures means hanging out with good friends! It’s always an honor to capture families as they grow and change, even more so when it is my friends asking me to capture these photos as their kids grow up.

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.

Maternity Photos: Turquoise & Brandon (Hayward, California)

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!

Engagement Photos: Paige and Richard

What a great couple to spend a summer morning with! With the wedding only a few weeks away, I wanted to share engagement photos since we had lovely weather and a beautiful location. These two shared so much laughter together during our session, which made for a fun time. Looking forward to capturing their wedding day!

Baby Photos: Brooklyn (Castro Valley, CA)

You’ve met this little lady before and she is growing up fast! While the family was in California, we took the opportunity to do another photo session and spend some time together. We met up at the same location we their maternity photos and it was fun to recreate some of the images from before, now with Brooklyn joining us.

And a few photos with a beloved family friend!

Maternity Photos: Carolynn & Chris (San Leandro, CA)

I’m pretty sure it’s a GREAT photo session when I want to post every single image from our shoot. I won’t, but I will make sure to share lots of my favorites. Carolynn, Chris and their pup met up with me on a warm Saturday morning for their maternity photos. The location, at one of the back entrances to Lake Chabot Regional Park, turned out beautiful and these two were so perfect in front of the camera. Seriously, such a great time with these two!

I’ve got to be honest, one of the best parts of being a photographer is getting my friends and family in front of the camera. It means I get to spend extra time with them and capture awesome moments in the lives of people I enjoy. When there’s a new baby in the family, it’s the perfect time to meet up!
