san francisco bay area maternity, child and family photographer »

she came all the way from Orange County

Could she be any cuter?? Her mama booked the session as they were in town for a wedding for a few days. Our original session had to be rescheduled as poor little Reese ended up getting sick on arrival in San Francisco. Luckily, she was better in a couple of days and the stars aligned for their family session. Recently, I have been shooting a fair number of kids in the 1.5-3 year age group which is pretty challenging. And if you have one you know that they rarely stop moving! After my recent NY sessions, I was hoping for a slightly mellow child but no such luck. And was I glad:-) Miss Reese was chock full o’personality and an amazing vocabulary to boot!

Am sharing a sweet note that mama sent me. C- I really appreciate you taking the time to write! I love making people happy capturing little moments in their life. and I couldn’t have asked for a cuter model 🙂

Hi Alpana –I saw the photo of Reese you posted on your Facebook page and absolutely love it! I’m not on Facebook at the moment so I didn’t have a chance to comment – otherwise I would have told you how much I’m in love with it. You are amazing, I can’t wait to see more! I can’t explain the feeling I get when I look at that photo…it makes me feel like Reese is growing up way too fast!

I thought I would share with you some of R’s comments – I showed him the post and he was amazed…speechless. He said, Oh my goodness, looks like we’re going to be spending a lot of money on the photos! LOL!

Thanks again for your patience and working with us to accommodate scheduling an additional shoot on Monday. We had fun and Reese can’t stop talking about how she was a model and felt like a princess. When I showed her the picture on Facebook, I wish I could have freeze framed that moment…her smile went from ear to ear…it was priceless!
