Family session with grandparents

We travel to Newport, Rhode Island every Summer to visit grandparents.  Newport is so beautiful in Summer and kids love going there, lots of beach time and lots of fun time with grandparents.   I bring my super heavy camera bag across the country to document this precious memory at Third Beach, same location every year.   It makes me so happy to see kids are having so much fun with grandpa and grandma and I'm so happy that I was able to capture it. This time, my daughter, all she waned to do was run , run and run away from camera!  She is a very busy 2 years old ;-)  but we got lots of fun shots!  I can't wait to print them and display them in the house.  My kids enjoy seeing family pictures on the wall and we talk about all fun memories.

Kids Model Headshot Session, San Francisco Bay Area headshot photographer

  It has been a journey to have my son in modeling industry and I finally had a chance to update his headshot for his modeling portfolio!  He enjoys posing in front of camera and I enjoy seeing behind the scene of the magazine photo shoot set! We were in Newport, Rhode Island visiting grandparents and we walked around Newport harbor and found some fun spots for photos.  It's always so busy at home in East Bay, San Francisco so, during the vacation was a great time to take some photos of my kids!  Good luck, Leo in this fun modeling adventure!

Sailing Camp in Newport, Rhode Island

My son, Leo recently took a 2 weeks sailing camp at Newport Yacht Club in  Newport, Rhode Island.  Newport is the heart and capital of sailing and racing in the US today. How lucky is he to be able to take a sailing lessons there.   He flew there  2 weeks before me and stayed with grandparents, ( he loved it, of course!)  then I flew in later and I got to see Leo in action!  The sailing instructor kindly let me ride his instructor  boat with him  so that I could  take pictures for Leo and other sailers!   It was so much fun to see my 7 years old out in ocean with his sailing boat. How cool is that?  Leo enjoyed sailing camp and he is already excited to go back there next Summer!
