Newborn Session with Sean Henry Phelps

The past week I did a double newborn session on the same day for both Karina and Erica, my friends from work. You might remember a previous post from their joint baby shower here. Well, I finally had the opportunity to meet Karina's son for the very first time! Baby Sean Henry Phelps was born at midnight on February 24th and he weighed 7 lbs 3oz :) After a little juggling with my hectic schedule, we were able to do the session when Sean was exactly one month old and 2 lbs heavier! Babies grow so fast, and the best time to do newborn photography is really within 2 weeks of birth when they usually sleep a LOT! Sean is such a mellow baby, and I had a easy time photographing him. Happy belated birthday young man!

Stay tuned for a separate post for Erica's girl, baby Mia :)

Baby Ty is 9.5 months!

My baby boo went for his 9 month check up this week and it was time for his vaccinations again :( He cried for the first few minutes, and then he was his happy self again :) Here are his battle scars, he got 2 injections in each thigh...ouch! But he's as happy as a clam and already back to his mischievous ways!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Boudoir Session with Winnie

Winnie had absolutely no idea that she would be posing semi-nude in front of the camera until an hour before the photoshoot. Her two good friends surprised her with a boudoir session when she made a trip to visit family in SF. The only hints her friends told her was that lingerie and another women would be involved! lol....Winnie's husband thought, "could it be mud wrestling?" and he even wanted to extend his trip longer in SF so he could see his wife mud wrestle with another woman in lingerie...ha ha ha

I have to say, Winnie was a complete sport about the whole surprise! She was even gracious enough to let me post some of my favorites from the day :) You are so beautiful and awesome, I know your husband will enjoy these photos because he wouldn't have been invited to watch the mud wrestling anyway!

Family Session with the Su's

My sister and her family visited us in San Francisco this past week. It's been almost 2 years ago since I photographed their first session here. My niece and nephew are such well behaved kids, and I love spending time whenever we see them :) They also had fun playing with their younger cousin baby Ty Ty!

We went to Chrissy Fields and it was a beautiful but chilly afternoon...Enjoy the photos!

Family Vacation

Randy, Tyler and I enjoyed our first family trip to San Diego, LA, and Palm Springs! I was amazed at how good of a traveller lil Ty was on our 8 hour drive from SF to San Diego, our first destination :) It helped that we started our drive at midnight when he was sleepy and tired. Note to all new parents traveling with their young ones: bring your playpen!! We're so glad we did!

I'm kinda lazy to type about all the details of our trip, but in all, we spent good quality time together as a family in weather that could have been warmer! lol....now here are some photos worth showing :)

Out of Office

In celebration of my birthday next week, Randy, Tyler and I will be taking a week long road trip to LA, San Diego and Palm Springs starting tonight! But before that, my good friends are taking me out to Broadway Prime later this evening....YUUUMM, I can't wait to eat the mouth watering prime rib...it's definitely on the top list of my most favorite things :) :) :)

We will be back on March 11, just in time for my niece and nephew to come visit from Vancouver! This will be a great month! As always, a blog is better with a picture....so I will leave you a recent photo of baby Ty Ty...I can't believe he will be 9 months already in just one more week!!
