Spring has finally arrived! After so much wet weather lately, it’s feels great to finally get to bask in the sun a little bit. Isn’t the air so crisp and fresh after a storm?

Well I was lucky enough not to be rained out when I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite maternity sessions. They are such a sweet and lovely couple I’ve know for a while and I’m super excited for their 1st new arrival to come in a few weeks! Congratulations J&J and thank you so much!

It always gets exhausting this time of the year trying to rush edit all the sessions and ship out last minute holiday orders. Time really flies when you in the mist of it all and I’m sorry to say the blog has been sorely neglected these days. So hopefully this post now can make it up.

I am so thankful and fortunate for the beautiful families and kids that I had the opportunity to photograph this year. It brings me so much joy to know that they will cherish these captured memories frozen in time. Thank you all for letting me in to see, live, and capture a glimpse of your lives!

Here are some images from some holiday session I wanted to share.
Laughter, Isn’t it just infectious? Makes me smile everytime I see this image. Can you almost hear their bubbling laughter?

I was breathless chasing after this cute little guy. He was so full of energy and spunk!

I adore this family so much! The girls are so sweet and growing more beautiful every year.

At Last the hardest session of the year had to be with my very own family. Trying to get them dressed was a big ordeal so I knew I shouldn’t expect too much. I’m going to get whatever they are willing to give me. Surprising though, I really do adore these images. Can you tell they like to rough house a lot?

My Girl turned 3 a few weeks ago and she is getting more expressive these days. Sometimes with a lot of attitude too. Our holiday photo, taken on a tripod with me running back and forth to the camera in 3 inch heels. Exhausting! The kids only gave me 4 shots at it. It really was a miracle we got this shot.

Happy Holidays to all of you! May the New Year find you in good health and prosperity! See you in 2011!

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this beautiful family this past weekend. I think this is one of my favorite sessions ever! The kids looked so adorable dressed Tea Collection clothing. Everyone looked great and it’s no wonder because lovely mom is truly a fabulous graphic designer and really knows her colors and textures. She also had really great ideas to incorporate into the session and I love how seamless it blended with the whole session.

Here is your sneak peak H Family!

This session was so dreamy. I had a real good feeling when we were doing our clothing consultation a few weeks back. Ms. Y has incredible style and a very fun spiri, just gorgeous inside and out! And I LOVE LOVE her pug dog, Kokoro. Such a sweet thing!

Here is your sneak peak Ms. Y, enjoy!

I need a kick in the butt sometimes.
Sorry I have not been a very consistent blogger. It’s one of those things that I struggle to find the time to post.

Well today I’m sharing a sneak peak for this special little guy. It’s been over a year since photographing him as a wee newborn and he has grown up so much. So Absolutely adorable! We decided to head on over to a pumpkin batch in Petaluma for a fall session. Fall is really my favorite time of the year because of the amazing colors and textures everywhere. It gives such a warm and inviting feeling to the photographs.

Our little fellow was shy at first but once he was in that wheel barrow, he was truly having a blast! Such a handsome fellow, wouldn’t you agree?

Summer Days in San Diego….| San Francisco Bay Area Newborn, Kids, Childrens Photographer

This summer vacation was jam packed with lots of short mini-vacations with the kids. This is the year where all three kids will be in school (Yeah!). So we decided it is time for Disneyland and Legoland. We’ve run out of excuses.

The kids LOVED Legoland, more pictures of that on a later post. However Disneyland, not so much. Weather was hot, lines were way too long for the patiences of everyone. Perhaps when the kids are older, they will enjoy the more thrilling rides at Disneyland.

So theme parks aside, I think the most relaxing part of the trip was our stay at Coronado Bay. The Beaches were real nice and kids really had a nice time just playing in the water and sand. They spent hours making “sand meatballs”. It’s actually a very delicate process of packing the sand with water and shaping it with loose sand. Being a kids, these are the little things they enjoy playing with the most.

Also, I forced myself to take only one memory card and take all these pictures in jpeg instead of RAW. I figure it would really cut down on the editing process. So far so good but I’m still a RAW girl at heart.

My Gosh I’ve been a really bad blogger lately! There’s so much catch up to do! I hope you all had a great summer this year. There’s so much pictures to share from our family vacation so be sure to check back soon as I need to edit through hundreds of vacation pictures.

Well, let’s start with this session photographed about almost 2 months ago. Baby Isabelle was about 12 days old at the time. She was such a sweet angel and so so beautiful! Isn’t newborn skin just to die for?

It’s a very hard job being a parent no matter who you are. The stress of daily life can get to you sometimes…. but what makes it all worthwhile is when your kids give you those little magical moments that just tickles your heartstrings. Though I hate to submit and admit it… (since I’m kind of the stubborn type)… I wouldn’t have been able to pursue this path without the support and help of this guy. Thank you dear for all that you do, let it be known that I do appreciate you even though I don’t say it out loud sometimes.

Have a great Father’s day weekend everyone!
