For a little "wedding surprise" from last weekends wedding :) A friend of the bride and groom, Justin, is in the process of starting up his own micro-brewery (how cool is that?!)

A Texas Style Kiddo Session!... |Bay Area Children's Photographer

Fall is finally here and what better way to welcome to season than with a Texas styled kiddos session! Football is in the air ;) I had such a great time photographing these three and they got so into character it was hilarious! I especially loved the "Hookem' Horns"

Big thanks to Miss Leanne, Miss Hayley and Mr. Oliver for doing such a fabulous job and being such great models! I had a blast and so many great laughs! XO

Jennifer was not only SO fun and wonderful to hang out with, but totally glowing and beautiful for our maternity photo session! Here are some photos that show off her amazing baby bump!

Fun Products! Albums, Books, Mini Accordion Albums, Cards and More!

So you have your fabulous photos... now what?! Right :)

Aside from your basic prints (which are always wonderful!) there are other fun products you can purchase to showcase your beautiful photo session!... Everything from custom photo albums and custom books, to mini accordion albums (great gifts ;) ) and even Thank You, Save-The-Date, and Birth Announcement cards!

Check it out below!

I get asked a lot about the difference between and "Album" and a "Book"... Hopefully these photos can help explain a bit more :)

The Album: These albums are flush mount albums with thick lay-flat pages and no middle gutter... take a look at these photos... (This specific album has a custom cover which is always an option for you) PS... The Albums are my personal favorite! They are awesome!!!

 You can see here how the image is carried across both pages with no "gutter"

The Book: The biggest difference between the book and the album is the book has a "gutter" there is no room for a full width photo across both pages without there being a break... Take a look at some of these pics to get a better idea :)

Cards and Mini Accordion Albums: There are tons of great cards and I am a huge fan of the mini accordion photo album! It is such a great little gift :)

You can check out more details on the mini accordion albums here...

Feel free to email me with any questions about any product prices or sizing on the albums and books!

Lindsey and Sadie!... |Bay Area Children's Photographer

Check out this totally amazing Mommy and Me session with the beautiful Lindsey Stafford and her darling little Sadie! We had the best time doing a little photo swap so we each had some photos with our kiddos... It is always so nice to have pics with your kids... something that rarely happens seeing as we are both photographers taking pictures of other people ;) My favorite is she came so prepared with such fun props that can totally make a fun photo session! Check out the orange book in the first photo... "Photographers I Met and Liked" How cute is that?!?! 

Linds and Sadie! I hope you had as much fun as I did and that you enjoy the photos :) XOXO
