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…

So, I’ve been saying, for some time now, that all of the “lucky” people who get free photos from me should start a “waiting forever” support group. No doubt, it’s a great deal to get photos from me without paying the full prices, but the price that gets paid is in waiting . . ….

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….
