baby smiles - Marin Newborn and Child Photographer - Kim Binfield Photography

Four-month-old baby boy. Smiles. Cuteness. Some of my favorite images to date! This was actually a rainy day and so I was very, *very* pleased to find good light indoors mainly through a glass door to the backyard. Baby smiles are so contagious don't you think? :) Thank you to this new family for inviting me to their home. I love the parent photos too from this session. Looking back through my own photos of me with my children they are special ones so I'm glad to have taken these for them.

a trio of sisters - Marin Family Photographer - Kim Binfield Photography

For my first post of 2013 I will be -- catching up on last year! I'm excited to share with you a couple more sessions from 2012. This session is a family with three sisters that I've been lucky enough to photograph three times now. You can "watch them grow" here and here. The images below are from their 2012 holiday session that includes a family portrait by my favorite tree of theirs again. A big thanks to them as always! Also, if you can tell from the last photo, their parents do the best side shows to get the girls smiling away :)

pink cowgirl boots -- Kim Binfield Photography -- Marin Family Photographer

This big sister always shows up with the best accessories! I've photographed her a few times now and this year's session was no exception. Her pink cowgirl boots lent the perfect combination of attitude and elegance. Fun! Little sister, with her satin silver and gold shoes, is definitely following her sister's lead. We had a beautiful morning session at the Marin Art & Garden Center. This location is available for a small fee - ask me for details if of interest!

backyard sunshine and play

Sharing my favorite photos today from a sunny, backyard session in January - sometimes we get lucky with the weather! I love the low, clear light that January can bring and I like playing with it streaming in behind trees, structures and people. As it rains down today (and for almost the past two weeks now), we can remember a sunnier time! A thank you to this warm family again for inviting me to their home.

maternity photo session

Tonight a quick sneak peek for a lovely set of expectant parents I met up with over the weekend for their maternity photo session. I'm editing their photos this week and I must say it's a lovely set of images. They are beautiful in black and white too - I couldn't decide which to post here! Be on the lookout for more images from this San Francisco session ... Thank you again to both of you!  ~Kim

the family home

Lately I've been especially enjoying photo sessions of children and families in their own homes and yards. Everyone is relaxed, wardrobe and accessories if needed are on hand and when we look back on photos we often want to see and remember the familiar day to day surroundings. This session was definitely one of those sessions and it was also my first meeting of their second, sweet baby girl.

For in-home sessions, a good amount of natural light is needed and almost any weather outside except for very dreary cloudy or rainy days will work. It is important to clear out some clutter and keep only the details that you wish to be recorded on display. You can prepare some for this ahead of time and when I arrive I will scout out areas in your home that are most suitable (generally due to lighting) and assist in final prepping of the areas. Think cozy arm chairs and sofas, beds, cribs, benches .... all near large light sources such as windows, sliding glass doors, open doorways ... You're on your way to memorable family photos at the family home.
