San Mateo Family Photography-Just a few…

Lisa Damrosch — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:06:47 +0000

Just 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!

Thanks guys…more to come soon!

This 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.

Half Moon Bay Family Photography-golfing at the beach

Lisa Damrosch — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:20:12 +0000

When 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!!

Cute boy at the beach: Half Moon Bay Children’s Photography

A while back I got to photograph a cutie patootie family but their cutie patootie youngest brother was sleeping through most of the shoot. So finally….we were able to get together and get some photos of this little dude….and he so is a little dude. Seriously. He has a way about him that is so laid back and chill. I just want to eat him up.

See? I told you he was a cutie patootie…if you haven’t seen them, do click on these cuties too. One of these days I’m going to get their cute dad in on the action too!!

The other night we decided to take a last minute unplanned photo jaunt to the beach. I’m so glad that we did. I love watching Todd and Alex play, and watching them play while I have a camera in my hand is one of my very favorite things to do. The night was so gorgeous. I swear it was one of those nights where I realize how ridiculously lucky we are to be able to decide to go to the beach and to be taking these photos all in a matter of minutes.

Family Photography: Half Moon Bay Beach

This was a first for me…a visitor from out of state contacted me to take their family photos while they were vacationing here. Even though we had spoken on the phone, I was a little nervous because normally my shoots are for friends of friends, or friends of clients and there is already a connection when we meet. This time really was like a blind date of the blindest variety.

I really had no need to worry. I chatted with Michelle for less than a minute in person and immediately knew we were going to have a good time. When I met her husband (wearing bright striped pants) it was confirmed…we were going to have fun! Their son made me a little nervous at first. He is adorable, but twelve years old and super shy. He didn’t want to chat with me too much, but lucky for me (and him) I was really more interested in his interaction with his parents…which was really special. Watching these 3 was so much fun!

Poor Mom has her work cut our for her with these two!!.

Because our first location (their hotel) had tons of restrictions for shooting there, we took off for greener pastures (I mean non regulated beaches) and ran around. It didn’t take too long for them to kind of forget I was there (I love when that happens) and with each other their smiles came so easy. There was lots of giggling and wrestling and even some jumping

And kissing…

and frolicking….(these are some of my favorite shots from the day!)

I had a wonderful time working with these guys and couldn’t have been more excited that they got such amazing weather while they were here. It sounds like they had a fabulous trip and I hope that their photos will help them hold on to their memories of California!

I’m reserving the right to post a few more from this shoot in the coming days….and Michelle, I’ll get you the whole gallery soon!

My nephew and sister in law…the spring in his step gives me goosebumps.

Part 2: Fun in the Sun: Family Photography Woodside California

It was tougher than I thought to get back to editing these fun photos.

So where was I?

Oh yes…hanging out

During the earlier photos that I shared, there were multiple promises made to the boys about the cannonballs into the pool that they would get to do when we were done. They promised that they were awesome cannonballers and they were not kidding!

There was also some good boogie board jumping…

Mom attempted a cannonball, but missed the step about bending her legs…she got a lot of grief for that one…I have it documented, but I’ll spare her for now. But I loved it when she got a little help from her boys.

and remember that I mentioned Dad was a little mischievous? Well, he gave Mom a little help getting into the pool too…she clearly knows her man, because even though she protested with the “you better not” speech…

she pretty quickly managed the nose grab move…

Dad also gave each boy a little dunk…

It was so much fun just to hang out by the pool with these guys!

Thanks again SO much to Oliver, Lele, Miles and Cole…they totally rocked this!
