Alright, it has been much of a summer yet in the bay area. So we have to enjoy every little bit of warmth we can get. With some persuasion (and bribery), I had an opportunity to take a few photos of my little man on one of my fabulous Herman Miller chairs. When the holidays […]
This little guy was super duper sleepy through the first half of the session. A short little nap was all he needed to freshen up after which he was full of laughter and giggles. His mommy commissioned me to capture portraits of him at about a year as well as family portraits. I feel so […]
Alpana you are such a joy to work with. I stumbled across your website after reading rave reviews on yelp and fell in love with your portfolios. The great reviews did not lie. You were very patient with my sleepy and curious boy. You made us all feel so comfy and relaxed. You jus know how to capture that moment and turn it into a work of art. We are so excited to see more. We’re jus so happy we found you!! If anyone wants to book a session with alpana you won’t regret it!! You’ll be so happy u did!! We hope to work with you again in the future!
Great photos above! Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. I like how the photographer captured Jacob’s happy face. I know how he can get when Jacob’s sleepy or hungry. Look like you guys had a lot of fun too. Jacob can model for Baby Gap! hehe
awwwwwwww… i love these photos!!! yes, i also love how the photographer had captured Jacob’s happy face and I love the way she edits the color on the photos. You have to be really patient to take baby photos. She did a great job! i really can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Kudos to the photographer! These pictures are wonderful. Maybe we can do our own family photo. That would be wonderful since my girls are so grown up now.
Jacob looks so cute. I am a proud auntie. Looking forward to seeing more photos.
Amazing! You were able to take great happy pictures of a baby who just woke up? Usually a baby is cranky and hungry. You must have a magic touch and probably babies just like. Great shots! I will surely highly recommend you to friends and relatives – such work of art.
Adorable! I can’t wait to see more!
I love these photos of Jacob! The photographer did a great job and I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! Thanks to the wonderful pictures, now I know where to get my next family photos!
A baby’s smile is priceless, period. What a wonderful job you did captivating the essence of Jacob’s innocence, happiness and pure joy. Photos represent photographers, where the outsiders can take a stroll with the story that pictures reveal, through your eyes. Not only did we see an incredibly adorable baby boy, but you also allowed us to witness just how must LOVE is in the air with the Domingo and Christina as well. Thanks for making my day. Looking forward to viewing more of your masterpieces!
Incredible pictures! It’s amazing what you can do with a camera. When I look into a camera an shoot a picture. I get a picture. When amazing people like yourself clicks that button. You capture all the essence of life and all it’s inspiration!
Love the lens flare- great shots- Grant
great photos. These photos have captured the little angel and the parents’ joyous moments.A good photographer sure knows the right timing and angle to “click” !
Great Job! Amazing!
Thank you for the awesome pictures of them! Truely professional. They, too, look like professional models. Loved how you captured the joy & happiness in them!! It is a beautiful thing to see. I love all the pictures! I see a modeling future for our Jacob ;-p
AAWWW… MY JACOB IS SOOO CUTE! I JUST WANT TO KISS HIM RIGHT NOW!!! HI, AUNTIE CHRISTINA & UNCLE NONO. I MISS YOU GUYS. CAN I HAVE A PICTURE PLEASE & THANK YOU.
A picture can tell a story of contentment and the bond shared between all. Your ability to capture priceless expressions is amazing and most important of all it MAKES EVERY PHOTO memorable in so many ways. Great job and continue taking amazing photos.
WOW! I really like the way you presented these photos and the color contrasts are inviting to the eyes!!
Beautiful pictures. Of course the when the subject is such a beautiful baby it must make it a bit easier. None the less the colors as well as the theme are also impressive.
Great pics of Jacob and of the Ortanez family! I can’t wait to see the rest of the other pictures.
Very natural shots of the baby with a great smile.
wow, what cute pics!!! Love all the smiley pictures that photographer captured, “million dollar” smiles :-). Seems like the whole family had fun in the picture taking process, not just little Jacob! Can’t wait to see the whoel albumn.

If you had asked me a couple years back, I was pretty clueless about Ugly Dolls. They were somewhat of a craze at my son’s school and we ended up getting a few. I wasn’t quite sure about the “Ugly” in the name but found out that it meant unique. Soon, I discovered that the […]
so fun! so boy! love!
These are too cute!
I will be away from office from July 7-13th and returning emails/phone calls on my return. Happy summer! If you are interested in the Short Story Summer Mini’s please drop me a line. You can read more about them here. Since I can’t have a blog post without pictures, here are a couple from a […]
…I could photograph this little guy all day long. Besides being adorable, he is such a happy little guy. I loved every minute of being with him and his gorgeous mama. This is our third photo session together at almost two years old. I met him and his gorgeous family as a wee little newborn […]
i so adore your work!! love that first image .. and his expression in the last!
They are really good shots- love the fact that the edges have been burned in a little like we used to do with wet printing- plus the garden looks like mine! Grant
my birthday boy. There are lives I can imagine without children but none of them have the same laughter & noise. – storypeople
He is beautiful. I love “dipping his bread in tea”…must remember to pass that on to my kid. I know I loved doing that as a kid growing up in India.
Happy Birthday! He’s such a handsome young man. I could have written that same list for my 7 year old boy — they love the same things.
What a gorgeous guy you have there! Love this portrait! Happy birthday to him!
That is such a perfect image! Just beautiful. I love the likes, too.
aw, thanks for the comments and the wishes Anu, Michelle, Julie and Jane!
Anu, Nothing like toast with chai and dipping your bread in it!
and well-behaved ones too! A fun afternoon with these three siblings and their mama, the fabulous Rosa of Level 5 salon.
For a long time there were only your footprints & laughter in our dreams & even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever. ~ Storypeople Love this Storypeople quote so much. Baby J was a long awaited princess that has brought so much joy to her family. To […]
I love the first year photos of Baby J. What treasures for Mom to see her first year like this. Beautiful work!
They are all amazing, but the one year shot of Baby J with her face in her hands is absolutely classic!
Stunning! How lucky is her mom to have such amazing art to document her little life?! Love them all.
I just stumbled across your work and fell in love. I’m a new photographer out in Chicago and have to just tell you how beautiful you work is. Your images bring such an emotional response. Just beautiful. I’ll be following! 🙂
What an adorable girl!!! And how wonderful that you were able to have the opportunity to capture her in photographs and watch her grown!! These are beautiful!
What a great blog post – so neat to see the baby grow over time. Love your work!
Seriously, could anyone be cuter? That close up should be HUGE on the parents’ walls. Wow, she’s adorable, and you did an awesome job.
Gorgeous images! Those first three show so much connection and I love the story you told of her now. Beautiful work.
Beautiful! So awesome to see them growing up. Love that capture of independence!
love these!!
What a beautiful set of portraits to document the first year. Lovely!
Soooo cute! These are STUNNING!
love those b+w’s documenting her first year .. amazing! and her latest session too .. love the color on the storyboard!
