Oh, such hard choosing! We read the entries as a family and everyone had a something to say. The girls loved the nominations with contributions by the children. Isaiah loved the artist mom. I did too. We all liked the story of the single mom with four kids. Pretty much loved them all! Alas, only…

I always love a good urban session with a sweet urban baby! Look at this guy; his eyes. Wow. This very urban family lives in downtown San Jose, so what location would fit them better than Paseo de San Antonio? None, I think. They were so in love with each other and with their little…

These sweet kids (whom I have been photographing since they were babies) all went to Explorer preschool,a parent participation preschool in San Jose .
