Two adorable brothers with their cookies and milk. That’s how we rolled for this end of the day session. A few laughs, a few tears and lots of mommy hugs. I photographed big brother a few years back and it was wonderful to see how much he had grown. Such a treat to see him […]
Have had a sluggish run blogging recently so I thought it was time for a share as I head out soon to the east coast. Love this family I photographed about a month ago. Our shoot was quite the adventure hiking out to a spot in Walnut Creek. The interesting thing is that you never […]
LOVE this session! The Pokemon cards are hilarious ( have 3 boys myself and totally get those trading card looks 🙂 ) Those moments you captured of all of them are just beautiful!
I love these! I can completely relate to the Pokemon cards having 2 boys myself! These are so full of love and energy. Love them. Seriously adore the last shot – it is perfect! Nearly a mirror image and I had to look closely….:)
beautiful, beautiful images! love the light and location!
Really enjoyed the joy in the eyes of these children in the photographs. You can totally tell that the pokemon cards were the trick to get their little guy excited. To sweet and as a mom of boys I can very much relate to that excitement!
This is such an awesome session. So much connection and love coming from each image. The light is perfection and so are these images.
Such a beautiful session, so real! I love them all!
I love how you capture families and kids just doin’ their thing and looking awesome at it. Your work is amazing!
stunning work & beautiful family!
What a fun, gorgeous session! Great job!
Can’t believe I haven’t shared this session yet! Have been a bit slow with updates on the blog. I got to photograph little Jude and his family a few weeks back on a gorgeous warm evening. Remember him? I have been photographing him since he was a wee one and have grown to be rather […]
Alpana, you are really talented at capturing families! Wow! This really is a beautiful family, but I so love your photography.
A few from a quick afternoon rendezvous in Palo Alto with my lovely childhood friend Rita, her mom and kids. Rita and I met in eighth grade in India and followed somewhat similar paths as we continued our journey in art pursuing a BFA and MFA. She has been such an inspiration not only through […]
I love this!!!Beautiful photos of a beautiful Family.<3.
This sweet little girlie-girl and her family came out from San Francisco to the east bay for their family portrait session. With two busy little explorers under three years, I was happy to get at least a few photos during the short story mini of the family together. Storybox Art offers Short Story mini-sessions 1-2 […]

Just got back from a fabulous trip to NYC! The busy fall season is in full swing and I haven’t had a chance to share many wonderful sessions here. However, I have been trying to post a few peeks on my Facebook page so be sure to be our friend. 🙂 And just as I […]
This little guy was super duper sleepy through the first half of the session. A short little nap was all he needed to freshen up after which he was full of laughter and giggles. His mommy commissioned me to capture portraits of him at about a year as well as family portraits. I feel so […]
Alpana you are such a joy to work with. I stumbled across your website after reading rave reviews on yelp and fell in love with your portfolios. The great reviews did not lie. You were very patient with my sleepy and curious boy. You made us all feel so comfy and relaxed. You jus know how to capture that moment and turn it into a work of art. We are so excited to see more. We’re jus so happy we found you!! If anyone wants to book a session with alpana you won’t regret it!! You’ll be so happy u did!! We hope to work with you again in the future!
Great photos above! Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. I like how the photographer captured Jacob’s happy face. I know how he can get when Jacob’s sleepy or hungry. Look like you guys had a lot of fun too. Jacob can model for Baby Gap! hehe
awwwwwwww… i love these photos!!! yes, i also love how the photographer had captured Jacob’s happy face and I love the way she edits the color on the photos. You have to be really patient to take baby photos. She did a great job! i really can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Kudos to the photographer! These pictures are wonderful. Maybe we can do our own family photo. That would be wonderful since my girls are so grown up now.
Jacob looks so cute. I am a proud auntie. Looking forward to seeing more photos.
Amazing! You were able to take great happy pictures of a baby who just woke up? Usually a baby is cranky and hungry. You must have a magic touch and probably babies just like. Great shots! I will surely highly recommend you to friends and relatives – such work of art.
Adorable! I can’t wait to see more!
I love these photos of Jacob! The photographer did a great job and I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! Thanks to the wonderful pictures, now I know where to get my next family photos!
A baby’s smile is priceless, period. What a wonderful job you did captivating the essence of Jacob’s innocence, happiness and pure joy. Photos represent photographers, where the outsiders can take a stroll with the story that pictures reveal, through your eyes. Not only did we see an incredibly adorable baby boy, but you also allowed us to witness just how must LOVE is in the air with the Domingo and Christina as well. Thanks for making my day. Looking forward to viewing more of your masterpieces!
Incredible pictures! It’s amazing what you can do with a camera. When I look into a camera an shoot a picture. I get a picture. When amazing people like yourself clicks that button. You capture all the essence of life and all it’s inspiration!
Love the lens flare- great shots- Grant
great photos. These photos have captured the little angel and the parents’ joyous moments.A good photographer sure knows the right timing and angle to “click” !
Great Job! Amazing!
Thank you for the awesome pictures of them! Truely professional. They, too, look like professional models. Loved how you captured the joy & happiness in them!! It is a beautiful thing to see. I love all the pictures! I see a modeling future for our Jacob ;-p
AAWWW… MY JACOB IS SOOO CUTE! I JUST WANT TO KISS HIM RIGHT NOW!!! HI, AUNTIE CHRISTINA & UNCLE NONO. I MISS YOU GUYS. CAN I HAVE A PICTURE PLEASE & THANK YOU.
A picture can tell a story of contentment and the bond shared between all. Your ability to capture priceless expressions is amazing and most important of all it MAKES EVERY PHOTO memorable in so many ways. Great job and continue taking amazing photos.
WOW! I really like the way you presented these photos and the color contrasts are inviting to the eyes!!
Beautiful pictures. Of course the when the subject is such a beautiful baby it must make it a bit easier. None the less the colors as well as the theme are also impressive.
Great pics of Jacob and of the Ortanez family! I can’t wait to see the rest of the other pictures.
Very natural shots of the baby with a great smile.
wow, what cute pics!!! Love all the smiley pictures that photographer captured, “million dollar” smiles :-). Seems like the whole family had fun in the picture taking process, not just little Jacob! Can’t wait to see the whoel albumn.
The photos are beautiful! They capture Jacob’s personality. We can’t wait to see more. We may contact the photographer for our family photos 🙂
