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 […]

Abby’s mom had contacted me about a session over a year back. Finally, the stars aligned and we did their session on an overcast day back in November. Prior to our session, mom had told me a bit about Abby and her two sisters and I was excited to meet them. I was a bit […]
What a beautiful gift you were able to give this family!
Beautiful images! LOve that last one on the bottom right! 🙂
THIS is what it’s all about – this family makes the extra effort needed to capture their beautiful children and their relationship in these gorgeous images that they will love forever! There are many families that don’t have these extra challenges and don’t make the time to do something so meaningful and important.
Ohhh sweet Abby…. my own daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury two years ago as well, and spent nearly 2 months in the hospital – 19 days in a coma, 5 surgeries, and a new prosthetic skull later, we are blessed to have our daughter still in our lives. These images are SO important and beautiful. Remember how lucky Abby is to have such a loving and strong family. She is beautiful and this family makes me smile 🙂
Love the happy joyous moments you were able to capture in this session.
Beautiful work Alpana. I love the connection you have captured here. Such great memories created.
Thanks all for your comments! Sophie, I am sorry to hear about your daughter and amazing to hear her story of pulling through.

What lovely images, I love how you have captured the emotion of this family.
My mission is to create an album from the pictures of our trip to India last year. Personal projects have taken a backseat and I finally got inspired to work on them for the blog carousel with some talented photographer friends this month. The theme is “texture” and with my love of all things old […]
These are beautiful, Alpana! Love all of the details found in these and your play with textures in that first one is awesome!
these are all amazing!! love every single one!
These are so gorgeous! They make me want to go to that restaurant. I love that you shared all of them, as they really all do have their own texture even without a texture overlay. Beautiful.
My heart stopped when I saw the first one – that is seriously an award winner!
Not only are these photographs so well thought out and beautiful pieces of art on their own, they are going to be an amazing storybook of memories for your son. Your use of added texture is so perfect.
What a great post Alpana!! Tell such a great story…Lauri is right…such amazing inherent texture in each one!! Great job!
A few impromptu photos of the cousins with my little man during our recent visit to the Marin Headlands after a stop at Muir Woods. The kids spent a little time being silly, laughing, and letting me take a few photos in this lovely meadow. These photos are a mix of digital and film that […]
Oh WOW! You got an early present! What fantastic happy captures, every mom’s dream!
this one cracks me up… Mysterio has been known to predict your child’s future but the sky is the limit for this sweet little newborn baby boy with the most amazing family. The above photos were taken at little Will’s newborn photo session in San Francisco. Big sister played a starring role as well and […]

There was a lot of anticipation for this family photo session that mama booked months back scheduled to work around my New York trip in late September. Murphy’s law prevailed and it turned out to be a wet, cold week in the duration of my stay out there. I don’t think I have ever checked […]
What a gorgeous family – you did a wonderful job capturing their personalities!
These are fantastic! Really beautiful set of photographs for a lovely family!
