Oliver and James! Atherton Family Photo Session... |Bay Area Photographer

Do you remember this darling little guy, Oliver? So cute and tiny, right!... Well he is getting so big and walking now!!! I love when I can photograph kiddos and their families when they are reaching the next major milestone in their life... It is such a fun and memorable time! Oliver and big brother James, you two were so much fun to spend the afternoon with, I hope I get to document the next major milestone! :) XO

Redwood Forest, Mendocino... |Bay Area Photographer

While this photo has nothing to do with wedding or kids I just love it so much and wanted share :) I took it on a recent trip to Mendocino with my husband... Can you believe how tall these redwoods are?! Every time I look at this photo I say to myself "Small man, Large tress!" Hahaha!

Happy Friday!...

I just have to share this darling photo from a recent family session... Too cute!!!

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Engagement Session... |Bay Area Wedding Photographer

One of the best things about engagement sessions is you get such great one on one time with the bride and groom before the wedding and it is all fun and laughs! This engagement session was no different... total blast and a lot of great laughs :) Jilian, Dan and I walked up and down the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk snapping fun photos, eating cotton candy, and getting our feet wet in the water. I am so excited to photograph this wedding and send more time with these guys! XO

Buttons and Bow Tie Baby Shower... |Baby Area Photographer

Mama Nathalee is expecting Baby G #2 any day now, so exciting! and I had such a wonderful time capturing fun photos from her "Baby Sprinkle." Seeing as she is having another darling baby boy her fabulous hosts wanted to do something special, so for a fun project the guests actually made darling onesies for Baby G #2! It was such a great idea and such a fun project that got everyone involved :) You can read all about the "How To's" for this onesie project over at MommyBeta! It is such a great, fun and easy project for anyone hosting a baby shower :)

Mama Nathalee, you look so beautiful and we cannot wait to meet Baby G #2!!! XO

Woodside Photo Session... |Bay Area Photographer

It is official!... I am obsessed with red barns (or any red walls for that matter ;) ) They just add such great color and texture to photos so when I see a red barn I have to take advantage! Caitie from Lady a la Mode and her darling hubby Nico were so much fun to photograph and totally on board with my love for the red :) Here are some fun photos from our session! Check out more on her blog here!

Caitie and Nico, you guys are beyond amazing! Best wishes in your move to LA!!! XO

Baby Ellie and Family... |Bay Area Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of capturing some very fun and special family moments with the newest family member, Miss Ellie Jewel :) Her name is so perfectly darling and so is she! I always love sharing photos from newborn/family sessions... It is such an amazing time for the whole family, and I loved watching how good big brother and sister were with Ellie. Everyone was all smiles and laughs, I could not have asked for a better session! Congrats to the whole family and especially big brother Aidan and big sister Tinsley, you guys are just so sweet and awesome! XO

Palace of Fine Arts Engagement Session... |Bay Area Wedding Photographer

I had the most wonderful day photographing this amazing couple at the Palace of Fine Arts a few weeks ago! It was a surprisingly hot day for San Francisco ;) which made for a perfect afternoon! The Palace of Fine Arts was such a beautiful place to shoot at and was such a fun treat for me! I am so looking forward to this September wedding with Liz and Carter!!! XO
