One plus one | Pleasanton family photographer

Equals two cute little boys. Two brothers- 1.5 and 4 years old. And their rocking parents. It turned out to be another crazy bay area foggy, cold day but we managed to conquer it and come out shinning! Just wanted to post a quick sneak peek for the family. Thanks for being so flexible in […]

Six months old | San Francisco Baby Photographer

Between packing boxes, shooting sessions, proofing, sending out client orders and the general chaos that I exist in at the moment, I just had to proof a few photos of this delightful six month old. I photographed her a few days back in their gorgeous San Francisco home in Pacific Heights. The moment I met […]

fresh | san francisco newborn photographer

Little C came to me at seven days old with the most perfect lips and sweet little face. He went through a bit of a rough patch and had to be hospitalized for neo-natal jaundice. But the little trooper is doing much better now. Thanks so much Cleon and Gracie for making the trek out […]

four weeks old | Dublin bay area newborn photographer

sarah ellsworth - those are great!!!! i especially love the black and white of you two. those little feet are adorable!!!

Ceci - I love this last photo. Although Mom and baby are the major focus, we get to see proud Papa in the background as well. Great photos!

samantha limcaco - hi alpana- WOW! we loove the pictures that you’ve posted so far. we CANT wait to see the remaining photos!! thanks again for such a great afternoon- it didn’t feel like a photoshoot and yet when we see the results…we are amazed.

best,
samantha, bryce and henryp

Bruce - Too darn cute!!

Glenys - Especially love the one of Samantha and Henry. Also the one on the swing laughing is priceless. Wish you were closer!!

Rashmi Tabada - I love the smile in the 2nd picture.
He looks so “cool” in the 3rd picture.
The mom is the highlight of the last one. I like it.

In general, no matter the surrounding, the focus is still the subject…..love it.
I also like the surroundings aren’t the traditional ones.

B L Doyle - After much thought we choice the picture with Henry P in the Green Hat as our 1st choice. The reason is because the whole Family is in the shot. If the Black & White photo had the 3 of them in it we would have picked it as #1. We feel that Black & White is always more dramatic, it also has a timeless apperance.

Gabrielle Myers - So cute! Great pics!

SupD - Hey Alps!

I like the first and the fourth pic the best. If I had to pick just one, I guess I would pick the fourth. It seems to me like they have both just seen the dad coming up the road.

Barbara Byars - I absolutely adore all of these pictures! My favorite is the first one……….Mom and Henry are both totally beautiful!!!!! This was a true pleasure to view!

Karen - What fabulous pictures. Samantha- you are such a shinning mom!! Yeay!

Carol Cirilli - I’m so glad you got some professional pictures taken. Henry looks so calm and happy. Tough to pick the “best” as they all offer something special. I think #1 shows the similar traits you both have – but I love the vibrant colors of the rest of the photos.

The last photo is great to have all 3 of you in it, although Bryce is off in the distance.

Would love to see the rest of the shots soon.

Good luck in the contest!
Carol

Jen - GREAT photos. Nothing beats candids- especially smiley swing shots 🙂

Norm - That first B&W shot is awesome. Area there more like that?

Who’s that man hiding in the doorway in pic4?! Run!

The photographer commented that Henry “…. went from awake to sleepy to awake.”
Was Henry in a meeting?

Christine - What a beautiful family! And what an awesome giveaway! Just peeking in to say “hello.”

Sagar - super de duper cute!

dana - Beautiful photos of a beautiful family. I can’t wait to see more. I love the family shot in the alley. So cool. Nice job!

alpana - Thanks so much for the participation in the giveaway. It is now closed. The random winner for the frame is Barbara Byers. You would need to send me your address for the prize.

Wilfrido Limcaco - all photos were like taken be professionals, e.g., Time/Life Magazines … so impressive!!!
