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 attached to this family. Mom booked his annual session and this time around dad was able to come out for the session. I am so lucky to be in these lovely people’s life and document their real and intimate moments. I can see how much they adore their little guy. And how beautifully they handle him in his few difficult moments without frustration. It speaks volumes of how they are raising their sweet little guy! It was so evident with Jude being so receptive to me so quickly, a relative stranger that sees him once a year.

The session started with him just waking up after a ride out to the east bay from San Francisco. He adjusted pretty quickly to being thrown into a photo session. We explored and played together. Some of us ran and some of us chased those that ran. One of my favorite moments from the session was with little Jude in the driver’s seat of his vintage car. He was having some car troubles and mom just jumped into the frame heels and all to give him a little push. That look of glee on his face was just priceless.

So here you go… the perfect spot, perfect light with the perfect family. What more could one ask for?

If you have been considering a session please don’t hesitate to call or email me. Summer is going by and I only have a few spots available. Am offering a few weekday short story summer sessions. Are you a facebook fan of Storyboxart? It is a great way to keep up with news and updates.

Can you tell I am loving this age? 10 month old little Ricky was such a joy to take pictures of at the family’s Noe Valley home in San Francisco. Such a wonderful, laid back family and so willing to trust me! Here are a few photos for a sneak peek for mom and dad. I am sure you are anxious to see them!

Had to post this one as it made me giggle…. This picture is so reflective of my style of work. I love capturing life as I see it…candid moments in your life. Not traditional, posed photos but your crawler on the go, your active or squirmy toddler captured as they are at that age. These are the wonderful memories that will bring you back to that time in your life with your little ones!
