Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Being a portrait photographer as the holidays approach means lots of photo sessions, constant racing against time to complete projects and orders, and of course, plenty of fun, excitement, and beautiful photographs galore! As a result, many very happy families were able to share wonderful memories with their family and friends this holiday season. I really feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet each and every family and capture these precious memories for them with my camera. I absolutely love this job!

I wish you and yours the best this holiday season. Relax, grab some hot cocoa, and enjoy this time of year. Please check in for forthcoming updates to my website as there are plenty of stunning photographs to display! And of course, don't forget to start thinking about booking your next session - spring is just around the corner too!

Happy Holidays!

Mountain View & Hillsborough Family Photographer -The Holidays Have Arrived!

I recently photographed several wonderful families from Hillsborough, Burlingame, Mountain View and other Bay Area locations. Now is the time to get all of your holiday and last minute 2009 milestone portraits! From newborns to teens--each photo shoot captures all the wonderful connections and moments in a family: the first time Dad and his son, the energetic 3 year old, the newborns... I have really enjoyed each and every session, but the most rewarding part for me is hearing back from my ecstatic clients. Here are just a few satisfied comments:

"[We] reviewed the pictures over the weekend and are really happy with so many of them! Your photos completely exceeded my expectations! We've had mixed results with
professional photos in the past, so all I was hoping to get was one family picture and one or two of the girls. We love so many of the images we're very impressed!"--Burlingame Mom

"We had a great time on our session and have been anxiously awaiting the result ever since. You really put us at ease on an experience we worried would be an unpleasant one. Matty is normally a very mellow little guy, but he was less than happy with the situation. I know you worked very hard to ensure that our two plus hour session was a successful one (and it shows)!"--Mountain View Dad

Burlingame Baby/Family Photographer - Halloween Just Around the Corner!

Dinosaurs, bumble bees, astronauts, and monkeys, oh my! Wow what a fun morning this was at Washington Park in Burlingame, CA. I photographed 8 families including their little ones all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. It was wonderful to capture the children's first Halloween holiday celebration. I am pleased to provide all of the families with beautiful and memorable photos! Here are but a few of the highlights...

Fremont Newborn, Baby & Family Photographer - Pumpkin Season is Here!

Pumpkins - practically as far as the eye can see! Yes, change is indeed in the air!

A Summer Evening at the Park

I'm not sure who had more fun during this session - this amazing 3-year old boy or myself! I had an absolute blast photographing him take on the playground! He has so much energy! One minute he would be running up for another trip down the slide, then afterward, share a tender moment with his mom. There were so many amazing shots from this session! Posted here are but a few...

Windy Afternoon at the Park

Gray Day At the Beach

My daughter's first time at the beach - managed to get a few photos in-between trying to keep the rocks out of her mouth! =] There was broken glass to look out for too! Yikes!
