adventure is out there!

These kids had so much energy!  It was awesome!  We went downtown Pleasanton and walked around.  I loved this brick wall and we even had a little rain.  Towards the end, candy corn saved the day...thanks to some very prepared parents:)  I had such a great time with this family! And I have to give a big thank you for Bryan for sharing his talents with our family and giving me such a precious gift of capturing my young family!  We did a trade and he filmed my little Felicity and our family when she was only 5 days old.  I am in love with this video:)  He is a very talented videographer!  You should seriously use him to remember those unforgettable moments life brings!  You can find him here.

And of course I have to share our video!  I cry every time I watch it!

an old friend....

This beautiful mama was my old boss at Janie and Jack way back in the day before I had kiddos.  I LOVED working with her and her fun personality!  Thankfully we stayed in touch over the years and I got to photograph the oh-so-handsome and photogenic little man Jayden when he was born and one year later for these family pics.  I love watching families grow!  It's such a beautiful thing....  Christine, you are awesome and I'm thankful I know you!!!

My Wonderful Clients, Oh how I love you!

The greatest part about my job, is that I have these amazing clients who have so much faith in me and my ability to capture what they want, and just when I think things couldn't be better, they come back for more!  I LOVE each of my clients and have so much gratitude for allowing me to come into their corner of the world to freeze their memories in time.  This family is a definite favorite, cute kids, wonderful parents and all around fun to be with!

I LOVE babies tiny little parts...Something about those little hands and feet that just make me happy!



I LOVE my newborns.  I pretty much can't say that enough.  I am so blessed to do what I love and to hold these little miracles is icing on the cake.  These tender little heavenly beings are so much fun to mold and cuddle.  Capturing all of their little parts and the essence of who they are is just simply a blessing!  I'm so lucky and honored!

I know I'm partial to the name Hudson, but isn't he a cutie?!  This session with smooth and we got some beautiful shots. Congrats to this little family and that hair is oh-so-cute!

third times a charm.

This is the third year that I've taken this cute family's pics.  And I have to say, they are my favorite so far!  The day was beautiful, the sun was shining, the kids were SO good and we had a great time exploring:) Love this family and I LOVE seeing their cute little ones grow every year!  So glad our session together worked out Shannon!

my beautiful sister.

This is my beautiful sister Emily.  She is beautiful inside and out.  She makes me want to be a better person.  There are people in this life that inspire you, and she does that for me.  I so blessed and grateful to have such a wonderful and lovely kind sister! And after taking her maternity pics, I am so excited to get back to work as well:)  This session completely rocked and we had a blast giggling our hearts out together:)  Enjoy looking at my gorgeous sister!!!
