San Mateo Family Photography-Just a few…
August 16, 2010Just a few, because I know that Gina is dying to see her cute boy. I mean, who wouldn’t be? This kid is something…so full of personality and boy-ness. I’m so excited to have gotten to photograph this little guy again…he is growing so fast…and speaking of fast…
At 2 years old now, he is moving pretty quick…and full of plenty of his own ideas. Many things about him remind me of Todd at that age and it makes me smile inside to know how much fun his parents are having now, and how much fun they will continue to have. Boys rock. And boys and their Moms are pretty special to me.
And ok…boys and Dads are pretty cute too…especially when those boys wrap their arms around Dad’s neck with such gusto…
And speaking of gusto…someone did a pretty good job of getting into squeezing both Mom and Dad too…he is just too much..and so clearly the center of the universe, as well he should be.
We had a blast and there are many more images on the way….but for now, here are a few more of my busy little friend and his cute parents. (Mom’s dress and shoes almost killed me…she looked fab)…and speaking of shoes…they weren’t still for long, but I got em’…
And then we did a little art project…and ate a lollipop and otherwise ran around like crazy people!
family love-Half Moon Bay Family Photography
May 31, 2010This was such a fun shoot. First of all, this little boy was adorable, and such a character. He is 3 going on 13, and if you know me, you know this is the kind of kid I can relate to! I had the pleasure of shooting on a beautiful private estate where the family’s horses are boarding until they can all be reunited in a new home with enough land. It had been a little while since they had seen each other and it was so amazing to witness the love that this family of people, and family of horses have for each other. SO cool. And what an experience for me. I love horses, but I don’t have a lot of horse experience. These 3 just wandered around with us and every once in while I got a nuzzle that caused some out of focus images ha. They were beautiful, just like the family that loves them.

Family Photography-Half Moon Bay-Christmas Tree Shopping
December 11, 2009I was SO excited when I was asked to go to the tree farm with this adorable family. These are just a few shots from the shoot, but I can’t wait any longer to share a little sneak.
This is another one of those places that I’ve never been before. I think that maybe being the 4th generation of my family means I just stay in a 3 block radius because I keep finding cool places around here thanks to photo shoots and I’m so embarrassed that I’ve never been there before.
This was such a fun shoot…and while I almost lost my head with excitement over the swings and marshmallow roasting….it was these four that made it so fun.. I’ve “known” this couple forever (there goes that local thing again) but this was the first time I got to hang out with them as a family. They were so dang cute. Seriously. I loved following them around as they searched for the perfect tree, it was hard to tell who was most excited about it (I kind of think it was Dad). Watching the four of them play and skip and swing together was so great, and it was so cool to be photographing the traditions that I know these kids will remember forever.



Thanks again guys… more soon.
Half Moon Bay Family Photography-golfing at the beach
October 29, 2009When this mom and I were chatting about our upcoming shoot, she said that she was trying to decide between golf and the beach. I said “how about golf AT the beach?” She loved the idea. So off we went…this beautiful mom and I and her two handsome blue-eyed boys.
and their golf clubs…

We had a great time!




And I took one of my favorite photos ever on this day….one of those ones that as you click through catches you right there. I saw it when it happened…maybe because I have a first grade boy of my own, but I knew as soon as this boy threw his arms around his mom’s neck that she would melt….and melt she did. Sigh. I love this photo.

Many thanks to these guys for hanging out with me. I’ll post more (with music) soon!!
One of the coolest things about being a photographer is learning about new locations that are right under my nose. I mean, I’ve only lived here for my entire life…how come I never played here??
Thankfully this fun family has done some exploring and now so have I. I saw troll bridges and fairy hats and a family full of energy and love. It was really wonderful hanging out with them. We have a few more tricks up our sleeves soon, but here are some shots from our journey to the fairy forest!











Thanks for the tour guys!!! More to come soon!!
