Bringing up baby in San Francisco, CA

This couple was about the cutest couple I’ve ever photographed. Just too adorable, really? I had so much fun seeing them in their giddy expectation before their sweet baby girl was born. Their love for each other just warmed my heart. Then came the day to capture their little bundle of happiness. What a treat! I hope you two are snuggling up with her as you read this. Enjoy these days. They are short and sweet, I can tell you from experience.

Don’t you just want to go hang out with this little family?

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 am often so delighted when I discover it. This session was no exception. Love love love what we captured.

Watching them grow. San Jose family photographer.

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 a photo of them in front of the photo of them with the photo of them in the background! Ha! Sounds kind of Alice-in-Wonderland, doesn’t it?

Man, I could have a dozen of these!! Newborn photography in Milwaukee.

I had a lovely time yesterday, took the day off (just got home from California) and I headed straight over to my neighbor’s house to see her latest little one, the one I wrote about in this post. Before I knew it, I had been there for nearly three hours (this NEVER happens to me, the lady with a million things to do and always working). It was heavenly. Thanks for letting my crash your day, Jill. Today I headed back over to capture little Poppy more formally. She is sooo cute! You might remember the photo I posted from her mama’s maternity session. Little miss Poppy was perfectly lovely for her session. Isn’t she beautiful?

I really loved this session. The girls were just sweet and fun and they had no problem showing me all the cool things they could do in their spectacular backyard. In the hour I was with them we managed to capture a whole lotta’ “childhood” for their mama; an especially wonderful gift when you children are older and have one foot in the more grown-up (and sometimes less sweet) world of a teenager.

Oh, for heaven’s sake! Too stinking cute!! San Jose Children’s photographer.

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?).

Last Wednesday was a big day for my friend and neighbor, Jill. It was the day that nine months of waiting was rewarded with the arrival of sweet little Poppy, her fourth beautiful baby. Like most births, it really began the day before. I saw Jill that morning, when we swapped preschoolers for a playdate. Leaning on her car she tells me “I think this might be it.” I smiled to myself; is there anything better than the day a new life comes into the world? I saw her a few more times that day, as she shifted uncomfortably and wondered if she was imagining the oncoming labor. As I was putting together our dinner, a family favorite “Squasheroni and Cheese” (an amazing and healthy version of baked Mac & Cheese you can find here), I thought perhaps Jill could use a ready-made dinner that night. I was going to walk it over, but I was kind of in a rush, so I put it in my Cruiser basket and peddled over. Jill and her husband were chatting with some other neighbors on their porch with the kids running all around. She laughed as I peddled up the walk and we both got a chuckle out of the “Leave it to Beaver”-ness of it all; the “casserole”, the Cruiser bicycle and the neighborly-ness. We laughed, but we loved it. I had to stop and take a photo of it, because, well, it was a lovely thing to remember. (Maybe someday I can show Poppy this post) Have I mentioned I love my new home and neighborhood?
