One thing I have loved to photograph over the past 2 years is my children. Capturing their day to day activities and growth is really an amazing thing to watch and I know going to be so priceless one day. I already look back at images taken just 6 months ago and can’t believe how quick they have grown up. Children change so much on a weekly and monthly basis and it is so much fun to be able to document part of their life with the camera and photograph all of these moments in their life. One of the things that first drew me into photography when I was a child was it’s ability to capture moments in time that 1/2 second later are gone, moments are so fleeting and capturing a true slice of life is really an amazing thing to be able to do. Today’s image is a quick shot of our daughter at the start of the year, so crazy to see how much she has changed this year.

I posted a screenshot of our old blog and a little about the evolution of my blog last week and today wanted to give you a sneak peek at whats to come soon! I am excited to have a brand new look and feel that will more match the fun, creative and natural style that I am known for.

So today just a little peek at whats to come shortly, the clean and classic black is out, color and fun in ….

Normally on wednesdays we will do a wedding related post highlighting a wedding vendor or a location. But today I wanted to showcase a recent family portrait session that we did with twin 2 year olds that were just way too cute. I photographed these little ones when they were just a few months old and can’t believe how grown they are already at 2. It really is pretty amazing to be able to photography and document a families life and growth together definitely one of the things I love most about photography. Here are just a few images from their lifestyle family portrait session.

Bay Area Family Portraits

One of the coolest things about being a photographer is the connections that you make. I get to witness first hand some of the most important parts of peoples lives, its pretty amazing to watch a family that’s just starting out and watch it grow. For me I usually first do a photoshoot for a couple when they are engaged. The engagement session is always a fun photo session that lets me spend some quality time with the couple and start to get to know them. On the wedding day I am usually there from the getting ready moments up until the end of the night. Spending time in the room with the girls getting ready, the guys beforehand and all of the family really brings you in to this personal, private space for families and lets you connect with them. After the wedding most of the times I feel like part of their family (maybe that crazy uncle with the camera always). But then after the wedding I still get to experience some great moments and share in them with my clients. They get pregnant, have babies, grow their family, have an anniversary, the list goes on and on and while all of these huge milestones are happening I am right there creating lifestyle photos of them to cherish and remember the day forever. No words can describe how cool that really is.

So today here are a few images of Sherri and Steve who are about to have their first baby! Congrats guys, you will be awesome parents.
