A Look Back at 2020

2020 was a challenging year for all of us. It was especially difficult for small business owners and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supported my business that I have poured my heart and soul into for the past eight years. To my clients, thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigated this unprecedented situation and had to reschedule many of your sessions multiple times as businesses were forced to close. Despite the difficulties, this year had some unexpected blessings as well which I am incredibly grateful for. It forced us all to slow down and be more intentional with our time…it taught us the value of family and the importance of focusing on what really matters. I believe photographs are a vital part in documenting your family’s love and legacy so thank you for trusting me to capture so many beautiful moments for you this past year.

Here are some of my favorite images of your babies, bellies and families in 2020. Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with health, joy and love!

My Baby Turns Two!

Our youngest turned two! I guess we need to officially stop referring to him as “the baby” now. I’m feeling a little emotional about it as it seems like the end of an era for us. It’s true what they say…babies don’t keep and it really does go by so fast.

He has always been my most challenging photography subject ever (starting at birth) and getting him to cooperate for birthday photos was no easy task. Thankfully, he was interested in his cake this year and even jumped for joy…I mean, who doesn’t get excited about cake, amirite? I wanted to keep it timeless with a simple vanilla naked cake garnished with fresh olive leaves (one of my favorite greenery options).

We’ve managed to recreate the photo of me holding him in the chair in our living room every single year and I hope to continue the tradition as long as he’ll let me.

Clothing is from Jamie Kay and Zara and available as part of the studio wardrobe.

Beautiful Light, Beautiful Love

While still in her first trimester, this expecting mother reached out and said, “I love your pictures. The soft colors, the scenery and the light. It’s exactly how I imagined our maternity pictures.” I love when people are able to connect to my work in this way and know they want me to be the one to photograph such a special time for them. There are so many maternity photographers in the Bay Area to choose from, so I am always honored when someone chooses me.

When it finally came time for their maternity session months later, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect evening with the prettiest soft golden light. She selected two different dresses from my extensive studio collection and looked amazing in both options. Even though breathtaking scenery, gorgeous light and pretty dresses all make for beautiful photos, it’s the visible love and joy of new parents that truly makes all the difference and gives that beauty real meaning.

If you are expecting and interested in reserving an outdoor maternity photography session in the Bay Area, please contact me so we can start planning our session together.

The Sweetest New Sisters

Newborn sessions are usually reserved months in advance but every once in awhile my schedule shifts and I can accommodate someone last minute (so it never hurts to ask). I’m thankful I was able to squeeze this sweet baby girl and her beautiful family in as they were so incredibly nice. New Baby sister was gorgeous with her long lashes and full head of glossy dark hair and big sister was as proud as could be.
