This pregnant mom is so cute that I accosted her in Starbucks to see if she might want maternity photos! Lucky for me that she did!!

I’ve been so excited for this shoot…we started at her house, where she had the most amazing art over her bed!

I’ve wanted to try this pose for a while, I think I almost killed her, but she rocked it!

I knew right away that Jamie was fun and adventurous, so I asked her if she’d mind playing around a bit.

Literally…

First on the swing that was right down the street from her house…

Half Moon Bay: Family Photography

March 13, 2009

This adorable family and I have been trying to get together for a while, and yesterday we finally hit the beach for a quick shoot. We were still missing Dad, but hopefully he will be coming to some photos near you soon. Meanwhile, here are some shots from our fun yesterday.

The older two kids were so much fun and so into coming up with ideas for photos. That was of course after I schooled them that there would be no “cheese” in these photos!! As soon as they saw this hill they started rolling down it…I couldn’t have been happier to take advantage of it.

I really just couldn’t get enough of these two faces…

Sweet Sofia: Half Moon Bay Baby Photographer

March 5, 2009

Meet Ms. Sophia, she is 6 months old and about as cute as can be. Her dad and I have been friends since Jr. High and it is so cool that now our boys are friends too. This is the newest addition to their cute family.

It was my first opportunity to use the antique high chair that has been hanging out in my parents attic for at least 30 years. I am SO in love with it!
