…I could photograph this little guy all day long. Besides being adorable, he is such a happy little guy. I loved every minute of being with him and his gorgeous mama. This is our third photo session together at almost two years old. I met him and his gorgeous family as a wee little newborn […]
For this session, I trekked out to the Marin Headlands to capture this family in some of their favorite spots. I fell in love with this gorgeous family and spent a wonderful evening documenting their time together. Our original session was intended for little William’s one year photos though we ended up doing them around […]
these are beautiful 🙂
Beautiful images. I’m sure the family is thrilled with them!
Gorgeous selection of images. Love the one in the VW van!
Gorgeous images – love the VW one. The family is beautiful and wow, that little guy in the first shots is so cute! Makes me miss Marin (I grew up there :))
What a lucky family! These are gorgeous- and the processing is perfect!
I love them!! Great compositions and colors.
What a gorgeous family, and such beautiful images!
SO touching, they make me want to weep. You are so incredibly talented at showing emotion through your photography. Just beautiful!
Fantatic session and wow! Those eyes! And I agree ~ the processing is just beautiful.
Great session! The set of images has a wonderful mood – I really love them all (and as a former childhood rock collector myself, that first set is my have LOL)
Wow, your work is just gorgeous. Can’t help but think of “Little Miss Sunshine” with that bus shot!
Love every last image! Really beautiful processing and you can really feel the love from this family!
Gosh, what amazing eyes that baby has. Really nice lifestyle shoot.
oh my, what an amazing session! Absolutely fantastic family captures. So free and fun, love it!
For a long time there were only your footprints & laughter in our dreams & even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever. ~ Storypeople Love this Storypeople quote so much. Baby J was a long awaited princess that has brought so much joy to her family. To […]
I love the first year photos of Baby J. What treasures for Mom to see her first year like this. Beautiful work!
They are all amazing, but the one year shot of Baby J with her face in her hands is absolutely classic!
Stunning! How lucky is her mom to have such amazing art to document her little life?! Love them all.
I just stumbled across your work and fell in love. I’m a new photographer out in Chicago and have to just tell you how beautiful you work is. Your images bring such an emotional response. Just beautiful. I’ll be following! 🙂
What an adorable girl!!! And how wonderful that you were able to have the opportunity to capture her in photographs and watch her grown!! These are beautiful!
What a great blog post – so neat to see the baby grow over time. Love your work!
Seriously, could anyone be cuter? That close up should be HUGE on the parents’ walls. Wow, she’s adorable, and you did an awesome job.
Gorgeous images! Those first three show so much connection and I love the story you told of her now. Beautiful work.
Beautiful! So awesome to see them growing up. Love that capture of independence!
love these!!
What a beautiful set of portraits to document the first year. Lovely!
Soooo cute! These are STUNNING!
love those b+w’s documenting her first year .. amazing! and her latest session too .. love the color on the storyboard!
What a beautiful blog post. Such precious images. Just gorgeous!
The most important thing you leave behind is the stuff that turns into treasures when children find it. ~Storypeople I adore this Storypeople quote. It made me think of sweet memories we created for baby C’s family and how they will cherish them forever. When baby C grows up to be a beautiful young lady […]
thanks Alpana!! LOVE them all; I really love the one of the three of us!! (you do B&W amazingly well!!!)
I’ll vote for number 4 as my favorite…but I think if I were to vote at another moment in time I’d chose a different one every time. thanks for your hard work thus far; we can’t wait to see the rest!
Tough choice. I think #4 is my fave.
I’m the grandmommy; so, of course, I love all of them! Except for the blue eyes, Claire is so much like Stefani at that age. Pix 1 & 3 are especially like Stefani, as I remember. they’re all favorites but #6 with the whole family is especially dear. You ahve a great eye for shots. Thanks!
Beautiful !!! These are all works of art – so charming and expressive. #6 of the whole family would be my favorite. However, choosing is hard -each of the expressions that you caught of Claire amplifies the other. #4 is precious. I also really like the way you captured the lighting on her features with #1. #2 profile cracked me up -like some of us ‘older’women who attempt to show our best ‘side.’ From there, she seemed totally entertained with the process!! You are gifted !
Thanks for letting us share in the experience – she’s a little angel !
Great shots of little Claire Bear! I’m Claire’s Auntie and mom of her favorite playmate, Owen. I love #4: big smile, fingers in the mouth…what could be better? Can’t wait to see more!
As the grandpa, “papa,” I vote for number 5.
The pictures are adorable! My favorite is #4. She feels that her teeth are coming in of course…
I also love the family picture. You have a beautiful, photogenic family!!
They are all so adorable but numbers 3, 4, and 5 are especially so.
It is a hard call, because they are all very good, but I have to go with #5. Loved the family portrait too!
Love Love Love Little Miss Claire Bear #4! It is amazing how you caught the twinkle in her beautiful baby blues. Perfect photo.
they are all precious shots! but i think #5 and #6 are my favorites – beautiful baby, beautiful mommy, beautiful family!
Well, I like them all but I especially like #6 because I love b&w and Darren isn’t so bad to look at, either. I also like #2. First, you can see that sweet baby neck which is just my favorite part of a baby and I like that she’s totally taken with something off-camera and will be investigating that soon. Also, you get the full effect of those cheeks! Great job. Great subject.
you are simply amazing! i just adore all of these! your clients are so lucky to have you–you truly create priceless art!
lovely lovely lovely .. all of them! but i’m going to have to vote for #4 .. and i love the family image too!
Great pictures. I’m with Don. #5 is my favorite.
Wonderful shots and they really catch her personality.
Great Aunt Bobbi
Absolutely beautiful photos of Miss Claire! I vote for #3!
Oh, she’s so dear. Love that last one esp.
These pictures are wonderful. Such an adorable baby and great faces! My favorite is #3 because Claire is just so darn happy! As others noted, the family shot is also great!
these are pure brilliance. when i see my own family photographed, this is how i see it. i just love everything about your work. My fav for the baby is #3 for sure…
Number one for Claire. Those eyes and her mouth convey a look of wonder. They are part of the beauty of Claire Bear. Nice soft light evokes a feeling of baby beauty. Can’t wait to put her in our arms.
I love them all! She’s SO cute. #1 and #5 are my favorite. I love the family photo too. Love Autie Heather 🙂
Ashton and I love baby Claire in all of them. #4 is Ashton’s favorite photo of his cousin. We also love the family photo.
My favorite picture is number four and the family picture. These pictures are beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing!
Carolyn was the recipient of a family session through my Giving is Awesome giveaway back in December 2009. She was nominated by Rosa of Level 5. When I read her story I knew right away that I had to photograph her family. Carolyn is a breast cancer survivor and still undergoing chemo treatments every few […]

This K family was visiting San Francisco from the east coast last week so their family portrait session came about rather quickly! Mom and Dad went to law school with a wonderful client that referred them to me. They wanted to craft their story in the city that they love so much and move back […]
Your work is absolutely gorgeous. I found you when I was googling canvas wraps 🙂 I am an instant admirer!
Precious captures, to treasure for a lifetime! I love the joy (and the curly toes!) of the first and the connection with granma in the third 🙂

I love these, Alpana. Precious and lovely, what a beautiful keepsake.
Ohhhh, yummy! Just adore that second one. Sweet sweet moments.
The ones with great-gramma are utterly beautiful – and priceless! Can you imagine having a shot like that with YOUR great-grandmother, to look back on as an adult?!
These are beautiful!

Unbelievably adorable

These pictures are beautiful — and Sophie with her great grandmother is priceless!!

where we ended up with unexpectedly sunny weather on a supposedly cloudy day for a family photography session for the C family. Not so unusual for San Francisco, eh? Made for an interesting shoot aka shooting in full sun on the beach. But hey, after the streak of wet weather and reschedules it has been […]
What gorgeous tones in your photos! Love the one with the kite! So deliciously vintagey.
i love the texture in the beach shot with the bridge in the back! great photos!
What beautiful pictures. I love the lighting used in your pictures.

Very cute family pic of with the golden gate bridge in the background.
Full sun???!!! You rocked that sun! I love the whole feel of that first image – it’s full of vitality. A truly beautiful portrait.
