Story of Coco’s First year! Baby & Family Photographer in San Francisco

Here's one of my favorite family client !  They are on my baby collection and I have been photographing them since last Summer when Coco was in mommy's belly. This is our 3rd sessions together and I absolutely LOVED it! We started off at their home in San Francisco then headed out to Embacadero. I LOVE shooting at home especially for baby so that we can create some naked baby shots.  Baby look adorable as is.  Simple and classic.  I also LOVE heading to the place that are special to the family. They go for walk on Embarcadero all the time so that's where we decided to shoot.   It makes great memory. I can't wait to see her again when she turns 1 ! *Coco graduated from my baby collection!  She is ONE and walking!  We went back to Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco where we did the maternity session!   It was another beautiful cloudy day. I LOVE everything about this session ! Fall colors and smiles !  We all had so much fun!  Baby changes so much in first year and I feel so honored to be there to document the story of Coco's first year through my lens since she was in mommy's belly, 1 week old, 8 months old then now 1 year old! ~Coco's first year ~ The framed wall portraits was from newborn session last year.   Adorable!!
