Baby and Toddler Portraits

Two cuties for portraits at a recent morning session. We took photos on the grass in the morning sun and used a white chair I often bring along to sessions.

Preschool Photos

I recently took photos of the new Belvedere Tiburon Child Care Center in Marin County, California. Their new facility opened in April 2009. They have a fantastic playground, beautiful landscaping and a welcoming and functional space customized for the children and teachers. Take a peek ...

Family Photo Session Part II

Just a quick, but adorable, post of a few more images from the recent family photo session in the Marin Headlands.







I loved this location and hope to have more sessions there in the future. Thank you again family C!

And now.... I'm off to process more images from an event earlier this month where I got to take portraits for over TWENTY families! More on this later :)

One portrait; three looks

I'm in the middle of editing a few photo shoots at the moment. I've had maternity, family, and sibling portrait sessions along with some photos at a local preschool. I can't wait to share with you in the next few blog posts.

First up is from a session held with one of my dearest friends that I met in Kindergarten, yes that is over 30 years ago now!! The family put up with cold Marin County winds and a touch of fog but we were still able to snap up some beautiful portraits. Here is one of my favorites and it's a good example of how one photo can have many different looks. More from this session and the other sessions in my next posts...

yellow polka dots and seashells

Sunny days are here! In these pictures of my older daughter, I brought the shell along as a prop. When giving it to her I realized I had never shown her how you can hear ocean sounds in a shell. It is little things like this that make being a mom a wonderful journey for me.

Maternity Portraits

With Mother's Day approaching May 10th, today I'm posting a couple maternity session photos. Maternity sessions can have a studio look as shown here either at my home or at yours with my portable studio set up. Portraits can also be taken on location amongst trees and grasses or along sandy beaches. Whatever you think up, we'll create beautiful images for you to have of your pregnancy.

Maternity sessions are best scheduled for your 7th and 8th month of pregnancy.

Commercial Photography

Today I'm posting some commercial photography I did for a new gourmet wine and food destination, Prima Palate, in Tiburon, California. The owners have created a fabulous space and gathered up a selection of wonderful goodies and indulgences. You can sample wines and enjoy cheese plates at their wine bar or outdoor terrace. I had a lovely time snapping up images of their beautiful products and shop!

Tiburon is located in Marin County a few miles north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge- a little further north than Sausalito. You can also take a ferry from San Francisco to Tiburon for an idyllic afternoon of shopping and strolling and then a fabulous dinner viewing back at the San Francisco skyline.

Kim Binfield Photography is based in Tiburon, California.

New Baby Sister Portraits

New baby sister is on the scene! At 8 months old this little girl is at such a fun age-- and she is just a few weeks older than my little one. We were able to capture all that makes babies this age especially sweet and fun. She is almost on the move and is exploring and learning at every opportunity.


I've had the pleasure of photographing her older sister a number of times and was very excited to have this little one's first portrait session. Thank you Mom and baby and big sister too for a fun day!
