Haven’t been able to finish proofing the images from this session but wanted to share one quick image that jumped right at me off the card. Not technically perfect but one of my absolute favorite ones. This is for the lovely mama with the most adorable boys. I so wanted to take him home and he was ready to… such a sweet little man! I photographed him when he was a wee ten month old and how he has grown! He also has an equally adorable little brother that I got to meet and photograph.

Off to pack my bags for my NYC trip tomorrow. I am looking forward to a photography workshop as well as a few portrait sessions with east coast families. I will be away through October 3rd and emails/calls will be answered on my return. It is gearing up to be a busy fall so please let me know soon if you would like to book a family or kids portrait session for the holidays. I don’t have any short story session offerings for the holidays yet and might do so on a limited basis since I have gotten requests. If you are interested please let me know via email and I will keep you posted once I have something in the works. Returning clients will have the opportunity to have first dibs on the spots. If you haven’t “liked” our facebook page please do so to check out sneak peek and other news.

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…

How could I resist this 10 month old bundle of chubb? Such a super model and sweet baby! She belongs to my friend S that I have known since my impoverished student days back in Kalamazoo, MI. We don’t see each other often…or haven’t, but when we do we can pick up where we left off. S and her beautiful family showed us a great time in SoCal…thanks so much! Also, S’s mom is such a wonderful person and the sweetest grandma. I also knew S’s dad who passed away a few years back and he holds a special place in my heart! He was such an amazing person and I loved our long conversations about art and life.

S + S, I hope you like these pictures! For the family pics, can you believe they coordinated their outfits in all of fifteen minutes?

I wanted to share some of the mini-session photos from last week. I am sure you are anxious to see them! These were amazingly easy kids to work with…

and last but not the least… this gorgeous mommy to be!
