sisters and polka dots -- Kim Binfield Photography -- Marin Family Photographer

Lots of fun at this late afternoon session with these two sisters for holiday photos last year. I have photographed this family through the years before little sister came on the scene. It's wonderful watching families grow and getting to create memories for them. These two sisters are about three years apart and little sister enjoyed passing out pretend treats to her big sister and being in charge!

1 year old photo session -- Kim Binfield Photography -- San Francisco and Marin Family Photographer

1 year old and super adorable. Here are my favorite images from this afternoon family photo session last year. Look for new posts over the coming weeks... I'll be sharing session favorites from 2013 as we start into 2014!

Hoping 2014 is off to a good start for everyone! Time to refresh and settle in after the holidays. I'm enjoying the time to get a bit more organized on the home and work front and to also be with my girls as they take on gymnastics, ballet, more and more reading and coming up with cute and funny things to make me smile (most of the time of course!)  ~ Kim

Holiday cards, thanks and wishes -- Kim Binfield Photography

A note tonight to thank my lovely clients and everyone who supports me in getting to be creative and make memories for families. I have enjoyed seeing all of the holiday cards this year and my girls have enjoyed taking turns opening them - mostly without fighting ;)  The ones from my clients are especially heartwarming and fun to be a part of and to you again I say Thank You!!

Here's part of our card for this year. I had it printed at my lab on my favorite pearl paper and it turned out even dreamier than I'd hoped. A thank you to my girls also for putting up with having a photographer for a Mom.

As the year closes out, I wish everyone a very happy holiday. Cuddle up with those little ones!

Big Brother and Little Brother -- Kim Binfield Photography -- San Anselmo, Ross, Kentfield Family Photographer

Boys will be boys and brothers will be brothers! I got to spend an afternoon with these two cuties for their recent photo session. As a mom of two girls, I am used to a different sort of energy and I enjoyed hanging out with this Mom and her two beautiful boys. They are all in for fun and adventure. I loved being able to capture their connections and play.

Baby Smiles and Baby Laughs -- Kim Binfield Photography -- Marin Family Photographer

Sometimes you just need a little something to bring a smile to your face and I have just that for you today! This 11-month-old baby boy had lots of smiles and laughs to share with us... I think you'll find it hard not to smile back yourself, right? This casual session was held at home during morning playtime before afternoon lunch and nap.
