Wendy and Philip - Couple's Session- San Francisco + Japanese Tea Garden

February 21, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Over the weekend I had a couple's session with Wendy and Philip at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. It was a gorgeous morning and the garden was just opening up so there weren't too many people enjoying the garden yet. It has been years since the last time visited the garden and it was as beautiful as I remembered it.

Wendy told me that it has been a while since they've actually taken any photos together. She said she was unhappy with her wedding photos and was glad that I was doing this for her (no pressure >_<). So we walked around the garden and found many locations. I hope you enjoy these Wendy!!!

After the garden we walked around the Amphitheater just outside the Japanese Tea Garden. By this time it was already bustling with people.

Thank you Wendy and Philip!!! And thank you Philip for helping me get those genuine smiles out of Wendy at the drop of a hat!!! If you would like to see more photos from this session click on the slideshow below :)

L-O Family- Family Photo Session- Albany + Memorial Park

February 11, 2013  •  1 Comment

Last weekend I had the honor of photographing one of my favorite families! We headed over to Memorial Park in Albany the morning of Super Bowl Sunday. It was absolutely beautiful outside and the kids had a great time playing. I always feel like everyone cooperates much more when they are enjoying themselves. And smiles are more genuine and natural :)

Mason is such a happy and mellow baby. I just wanna squish his cheeks!

Nate has quite the personality, he's such a funny kid and definitely a boy's boy, but look at how gentle he is with his baby brother!

And here's one with Ate Chynna, she's such a good big sister. It seems like yesterday that she was Mason's size :*(

 

And of course mom and dad weren't planning on being in the photos, but I insisted and I'm so glad they joined the fun!

Thanks Ate Mel and Brian for letting me capture your beautiful family. If you would like to see a few more photos from this session, click on the slideshow below :)


Talibah, Kai, & Kalani - Child/ Family Photography Session- Oakland+ Mills College

February 08, 2013  •  1 Comment

Over the weekend I was asked to photograph this beautiful family in Oakland at Mills College. I have never been to the campus before but we found  so many places for great photo op's. These ladies were great to photograph, they are truly naturals in front of the camera! The night before Ms. Talibah hurt her ankle! Little did we know she actually BROKE it! And here I had her walking all over the place! I do hope you love these and forgive me for making you do all that walking!

 

I love the individual photos i was able to capture of Talibah, Kai, and Kalani. Aren't they GORGEOUS!!!!

Thank you Ms. Leeba, Kai and Kalani for allowing me to capture you guys! If you would like to see a few more photos from this session view the slideshow below :)


Joshua - Child Photography Session- San Francisco + Alamo Park

Over the weekend I was asked to photograph this future heartbreaker Joshua. It was slightly overcast which is normal for San Francisco, but this meant great lighting for their session. We played at the playground and I was able to get some great shots. I love photographing outdoors and feel kids enjoy it more also.

In the photo below he was serenading me with Justin Bieber's- As Long As You Love Me.

And of course, mama had no intention of being in the photos but I HAD to include her! And I'm so glad I did!

One in front of "The Painted Ladies"

I love when kids pick up on things they see on tv or from their parents. Not sure where he got it from but he had me crackin up!

Something about this one just makes me smile. I just wanna squeeze him!

If you would like to see a few more of this cutie, view the slideshow below :) Thanks Kimberly and Joshua! And Thank you Wendy for spreading the word!
