I knew when Mom showed up with fantastic, colorful high heel shoes and her daughter with candy apple red shoes and a multicolored beaded necklace that she chose herself, that we would have a fun session. Dad and the family dog also did their part to complete the look of these animated and endearing family portraits.
** The time to book your holiday sessions is, believe it or not, now! **
As a custom, boutique photographer I accept a limited number of sessions each month to enable me to provide the top level of care and attention to each client. The last date for holiday sessions this year is November 14. Weather in the Bay Area will be turning colder soon, thus outdoor sessions are best held now through early October.
Launched just last week, the iPad App Portrait Classroom: Baby and Child Photography Tutorials is an insider's guide to taking better portraits. The App presents ten tutorials that detail the set up, camera settings, equipment used, and Photoshop editing steps taken for a collection of ten of my baby and child portraits.
Learn how you can take keepsake, professional looking portraits of your loved ones yourself! Portrait Classroom is geared toward digital SLR owners, though many of the techniques can also be used by those with point-and-shoot cameras. The App is a collaboration of my gadget loving husband, myself and our expert programmer here in the SF Bay Area.
This was an absolutely stunning session. I'll let the photos speak for themselves and I think you'll see what I mean! This second time mom was absolutely glowing and was very happy to have completed the session before the baby's arrival due this month.
Thank you for meeting up with me for a lovely summer morning - I'm so glad new baby waited for us!
