When clients commission us for portraits they are not just hiring a photographer to capture some images of their kids and family, they are taking the first step toward beautiful art for their home. This lovely wall gallery was exactly what she was looking for when we began the process. Isn’t it sweet?

These sweet sisters sure made me smile. There was plenty of joy to capture! I think I have a photo somewhere of my sister and I playing piano; so classic. When I travel from Milwaukee to San Jose for photo sessions, I never know what kind of joy I am going to find, but I…

How cool is it, that in these fun photos of adorable boys, you can see the photos from a previous session up on the wall behind them? I love it! Of course, I’ll have to go back again to capture the new display they now have from THIS session. Maybe next year I can take…

Newborns are so tiny, sweet, innocent and . . . exhausting! This little honey made us work for her images but they were worth the wait (just like the baby herself). I loved watching her sweet parents work together to change a diaper or sooth her or feed her. Awww . . . brings back…

One of the things I most missed when we lived in California was the changing of the seasons. Oh, there was a little bit of that in the Bay Area; it got cooler, some of the leaves turned a drab brown and fell to the ground. In the winter, it rained some days and at…

One of my favorite “professional photographer perks” are the fun “tools” we get to own because, well, we NEED them. And the best of them all was my Ikelite underwater housing. I was lucky enough to buy one from another photographer, so it wasn’t TOO expensive, but it is quite the deal. Because I bought…

Imagine my delight when these two little cuties walked up to me at our Short and Sweet at McClellan Ranch. Not only were they cute, but they were sweet little monkeys, too. I just loved them and their beautiful and lovely mama (who, unfortunately, wasn’t being photographed that day. Next time, right?).

A familiar view for me, as we shuffle down the road on some of our walks, on nights when she’s already PJ’d up and too tired to keep up. I actually don’t take her on runs in this; too annoying not to have my arms but she still likes going “super fast”. I love that…
