FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES
The sunlight from the window pouring in and creating shadows in all the right places makes this shot extra special. This maternity session I photographed yesterday at my client's beautiful home in Oakland was a visual delight. I can not wait to discover more gems such as this one during the editing process. More from this session will be coming soon.
Also, I can't wait to meet their little one very soon.
FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES
I am in love with this newborn photo session. Baby Mackenzie was just a perfect little sleepy bundle of love. She slept through most of the session which gave me a great opportunity to try out some of my brand new headbands. My style is very natural and organic and I wanted to make sure that if I use props they they reflect that. Overall, I use props minimally and also pose very minimally. I prefer to photograph babies as they are in natural state, which is absolute perfection.
I was also excited to see baby Mackenzie's big brother whom I photographed for his newborn session three years ago. It's always great to see my little clients growing. This little cutie had no hair back then and look at him now with his little curls. So adorable.
FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES
I've been photographing this family for a few years now so when they called me to photograph their new baby boy I was super excited. We decided to shoot the session at their home in Redwood Shores and then to walk over to the neighborhood park.
My favorite photos from this gallery were the photos of baby Ryan in his crib. When I got there he was just waking up from his nap so I quickly grabbed my camera and didn't want to miss any of it. He woke up a little cautious of a new person in the room but within minutes warmed up and had a blast. I love that we got such a beautiful set of baby Ryan just hanging out in his crib. Even his big brother joined the fun for a few shots. We got many other beautiful images but these are my favorite.
If you have a child that is younger then one year old, my suggestion when picking a location would be to do at least one part of the session in the comfort of your home. Babies feel so comfortable and are often the happiest in their own environment. I actually spent only about 20 minutes shooting these images in the crib and I got the most beautiful expressions.
