Baker Beach Mini Sessions Part II

More favorites from Baker Beach, San Francisco mini sessions. Don't we live in a fabulous place! The people, landmarks, city skyline and natural splendor here and in Marin continue to bring such inspiration.

Baker Beach Mini Sessions

We didn't get a lot of sun, but we did get a clear view of the bridge! Thank you again to the families who came out for a morning of photos at San Francisco's Baker Beach. Here, and in my next post, are some of my favorites...







I'm happy to report that there was a good deal of positive response (a decent sized waitlist even!) for the mini sessions. I hope I can meet up with all of the families wanting photos in the upcoming months. Speaking of.... Stay tuned for an announcement of September mini sessions...

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.
