I first met the Fonseca family for baby Elias's 1st birthday portraits, where he dressed up as Max from Where the Wild Things Are. I was so happy to see the family all together for a quick mini session at Lafayette Park in San Francisco with lots of silly faces! As a bonus, we also took a few baby announcement photos featuring Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3 (coming soon!). Congratulations, Cristie & Nick on your beautiful, growing family! xo
The anticipation of Bradley's arrival was strong. Grace Ann, Brad and their extended family waited patiently for this beautiful first-born baby boy, and I was so honored to spend a few hours at their home in San Francisco capturing some lifestyle newborn portraits. Baby Bradley is in very capable hands with these parents who functioned like pros after only six days together, and having Grace Ann's mom to lend her hands (and love) was extra sweet. I can't wait to see this little boy grow! Congratulations!
You may have seen Jen's solo maternity portraits earlier, but this time we were able to include the whole family now that her hubby, Josh is home from his work travels until baby girl arrives in October. I visited the Rubins in sunny Dublin, California and we took a short walk around their adorable neighborhood for some family maternity photos.
A quick note about maternity -- mamas-to-be in their late 3rd trimester should plan on only about a 45 minute to 1 hour max session with easy walking. It becomes increasingly more challenging for mamas to get around this late in pregnancy so I will choose locations that are close to the comfort of home and easy to maneuver. If you'd like to have a set of memories like this, book me and we'll work out the details!
Lewis is always a joy to have in front of my camera because he gives me GOLDEN outtakes like this. :)
Congratulations, Melissa and Ricky! I was so honored to capture maternity portraits of this gorgeous couple on the verge of first-time parenthood along with their pup, Hazelnut. We met at the Palace of Fine Arts, a San Francisco favorite. Take a look at some of my favorite shots from our hour together.
If you're interested in a maternity session like this, contact me and we'll talk details and set a date!
This is my sister, Jennifer, and we took these photos at almost 34 weeks at her home in Dublin. On this particular day, the new crib arrived and we got a glimpse of what Lewis's baby sister's room would look like. Jen, you look so effortlessly beautiful and baby girl will be so lucky to have you and Josh as her parents!
If you'd like a maternity session in the privacy of your home during your third trimester, contact me and we can talk about details before (and possibly after!) your little one arrives.
Also, a couple of outtakes... I call these "working mom"!!! :)
