One from my last shoot for this year. What could be a better way to end this year than document new life? This little guy was a little over two weeks old at the time of the photo and a really sweet little model. This was a family session as well and I will have more photos to share at a later date. Please keep an eye on Facebook for pictures as well.

As this year draws to end, I was to thank all our lovely clients, friends and well-wishers (if you missed the newsletter). Storybox Art has been fortunate to work with amazing families that love our art and provide the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind keepsakes. A sincere thank you for staying in touch. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!

Love this Storypeople quote so much. Baby J was a long awaited princess that has brought so much joy to her family. To me she has been a special baby to document as well having watched her grow over the past two years. I had to have a post to share my journey documenting her and also my growth as a photographer (I hope!). I am behind  blogging this session as I had to dig up some of her early photos that you might recognize if you have been a blog follower. Isn’t she just adorable? I feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity to document her over time and am thankful to her lovely mama for trusting me to create these beautiful memories. And hard not to get attached to a little person that I have watched grow from a wee little one to a little person full of personality.

I photographed baby J at three months, six months, ten months, one year and now at two years old. I am often asked what the best age is to photograph babies? Three months is a difficult age since they are sort of in-between but every milestone captures that moment in time. You can see for yourself how quickly she has grown specially over the first year!

then…

and now… little Miss Independent.  I love this storyboard of an attempted picture of mommy holding her as it is such a testament of this busy age. Nope, she didn’t want to be held. But maybe she thought about it for half a second. Nah, decided she just had so much exploring to do and took off.

I have been a terrible blogger for a while due to some health issues and haven’t had a chance to share some of my latest work. This image box (Storybox) is available as a part of a collection or a la carte when all digital files from your portrait photography session are purchased. Your Storybox comes with a cd of high resolution files ready to print and archive for posterity and a collection of session photographs. Each box is custom made for your precious memories.

If you are interested in a family or kids portrait session please email me through the contact page. My earliest openings will be starting mid-April.

Enjoy the eye candy! and Happy Halloween!

We hung out in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco. It is always an adventure going to new locations and it was an extended morning of fun scouting spots near by, shopping to add to little A’s wardrobe, napping for one of us, and then some fabulous photos. The funny thing was the park we ended up at had two other photographers shooting family sessions. It must be that time of the year!

Going down the steps, I loved the light so we had to get a few photo. How I love it! And check out the cute little fashionista…

and the most darling little swimsuit…

Today is my son’s birthday so I have promised myself not to spend time working but really couldn’t resist pulling a few off the card for a sneak peek!!

and there she was cracking herself up…

ps. Talking about Urban Babies made me think of of one of our favorite books when my son was little. Check it out here.
