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.

New York Short Stories

A few from way back in October from my New York Short Story sessions that I haven’t had a chance to share on the blog. Most of these little people were from 1.5 to 3 years old which is a super active age and am pretty happy to have gotten some decent pictures! Most of the short story sessions are 20-30 minutes and intended to capture a milestone. They are only offered on a limited basis around the holidays or summer time. If you are interested in a Short Story session please email me to get on our newsletter list for the offerings.

Seems like a fitting post to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Day! A few more from the New York mini-sessions of little Ms. Lily that came with her angel wings. Hope you enjoy these, mama!

If something can go wrong, it will. Based on good old Murphy’s Law it was a day where the rain gods were not in my favor. It was the only day the New York Mini Sessions were scheduled for as I was west coast bound the very next day of beautiful high 60′s weather. Yet, somehow we managed to wrestle up the hearty New Yorkers to shoot between rain drizzle and a dark, cloudy sky.

Aside from the crazy weather, I got to meet some amazing families from NY and work with them in a fun urban scape quite different from the San Francisco backdrop.

Meet Jack and his two friends. Sweet little Jack came with a whole bunch of fun stuff for the shoot (or his mom and her friend did). They even got some fall leaves that the kids got to toss around in the air- how fun is that!

One perk of my job is that it gives me a good workout. These two adorable brothers were so much fun! The little two year old gave me a run for my money but who can resist those beautiful blond curls? The older brother was a great helper in capturing his little brother and keeping him at bay. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, mama!

That’s what his mom called him. You can see why when you look at the first photo of the handsome little guy. I just about flipped when I saw it!!
Just like they say, “Eyes are the window to the soul”.

It took a bit for him to warm up but once he did he was being his goofy self!

A sneak peek from last weekend’s mini-sessions. It was such a fun time working with these little people in the variety of ages. The 18 m- 2 year age were a bit more challenging in the short time slot for the mini’s but I was up for the challenge. It was great to see repeat clients and the kiddos that I photographed a few months back. And then of courses the new faces!
