San Francisco Bay Area Newborn Photographer: Baby Mia

Last week, I met a precious 4 day old baby named Mia. She's my coworker's daughter, and they came over to my home studio for a newborn photo session. What a lil cutie at 9lb 3oz at birth! Welcome to the world Mia, and congratulations to Erin, Walter and big brother Danny!

Day in the Park

I've been on a newborn 'high' with Emi the last month, and the last several blog posts are basically all about her and I've neglected to share photos of her older brother Tyler :( So last weekend on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we took Tyler to a park nearby our place so I could take a few updated photos of him at 26 months :) He's getting so big and talking so much now, I just want to freeze time so he could stay cute and innocent forever!!

Beware! I'll be updating my blog with lots of photos of Emi and Tyler in the next few months because I won't be doing many photo sessions while taking care of a newborn!

Happy 4 Weeks!

I can't believe my baby girl is 4 weeks already, where has the time gone? When my new baby props came in the mail last week, I was excited to try them out on her since she's got her days and nights mixed up and she's sleeping well during the day! Babies her age usually makes newborn photography very difficult because they are awake more and they're not as flexible to pose. So when Emi was in deep sleep, I worked as quickly as I could to get the shots that I wanted and here are a few of my favorites!

25 days young :) Love her sweet infectious smile :)




These photos were taken when Emi was 21 days

Family Portraits

Last weekend, we dusted off the tripod and took some family portraits with our new baby. Emi is now 3 weeks young and she still loves her sleeping and eating schedule--we do too! So far, I call her my 'dream' baby because she doesn't make any noise unless she's hungry and she doesn't even seem to mind a dirty diaper! Keep it up Emi!!

XOXO,
Mommy

On another side note, today my hubby turns 31!!! Happy Birthday, I LOVE YOU!!!! 2 kids by age 30, we're doing pretty good on our 10 year plan :)

San Francisco Bay Area Newborn Photographer: Welcome Baby Emi!

Exactly 10 days ago on July 18, 2011, it was the day I held my sweet and precious girl in my arms for the very first time! Meet Emi, she is the newest addition to our family and she is super sweet and so loved! Months before my due date, I was already looking forward to her newborn session :) It's nice to have a personal baby model, and here are my favorite images!

My precious angel :)



















And here's big brother Tyler who's super proud to have a younger sister! It's so sweet that he always wants to hold and kiss her :)

San Francisco Bay Area Newborn Photographer: Baby Ethan

I consider myself very fortunate to do what I love, and just the past week I had another opportunity to photograph a newborn session with a colleague/friend/past bride and groom of mine who welcomed a beautiful baby boy :) Meet Ethan, he was born on June 29th and was 8 days young when I met him, he was an absolute dream to work with! Ethan slept soundly and we were able to use different props. Congratulations and enjoy the sneak previews!!!

My favorite image of the day, such peaceful slumber :)













I was looking through the viewfinder of the camera when I noticed Ethan's smile, and then realized he just sprinkled on daddy! I couldn't resist posting dad's reaction:)

Family Portraits

Timing couldn't have been more perfect when I received an email from Mona a week ago during my last few days of being on bed rest. We scheduled a family session just over the weekend and I got to meet her wonderful family for the first time :) Thank you for inviting me to your new home, hope you enjoy your sneak previews!

Meet Selma, she's 3 and super adorable :)


Baby Layla is the newest addition to the family, here she is sleeping soundly at just 25 weeks young...


...but not for long until she is awake again :)




It melts my heart to see how gentle and loving older siblings are :)












And a photo of Layla sleeping peacefully on her daddy's very own baby blanket :)
