Family of 5, soon to be 6! Maternity session in Walnut Creek, East Bay San Francisco

Family of 5, soon to be 6!  Another fun maternity session in Walnut Creek.  This family moved from Boston a few months ago so it was a little chilly morning in Walnut Creek but it was nothing for them compare to winter in New England!  I used to live in Boston for 4 years, and I know that I do not miss winter there!!!!     Mom is coming to my studio this afternoon to see her newborn photos, and I can't wait to show all cute pictures we created together! Are you expecting?  E-mail photo@aikacardin.com to schedule your maternity and newborn session!

W Family, gender reveal maternity session. Lafayette maternity photographer

I photographed W family 4 years ago for gender reveal maternity session for their daughter. I was so excited to know that they were expecting  second baby and they wanted to do another gender reveal session exact same way we did 4 years ago. And it's a girl!  I can't explain how emotional I got watching them finding out it was a girl when the pink balloon popped out.   We took more family pictures, played with balloons , etc. W family is moving to out of state soon and this is the park they came to play all the time, Moraga Common Park.   We created lots of cute pictures and lots of memories for they to look back. Congratulations again, W family!

Life Style Newborn session at client’s home. Pleasant Hill, East Bay San Francisco Newborn Photographer

Babies are only little for a little while and that's why newborn session is such a special one to capture the all the details and celebrate the new addition to your family.  First 2 weeks is the ideal time to do newborn session as  during this time babies will usually retain some of the natural curl from when they were in mommy’s tummy. Newborn babies are also more sleepy and pliable for the most desired poses. Your curling, sleeping newborn will make for the most memorable and meaningful photographs. The first days of a newborn’s life will be captured in the comfort of your own home. This life style newborn session was done at clients home in Pleasant Hill, East Bay, San Francisco  and mom requested to do some portraits outside as it was such a beautiful day. I LOVE Black and White. It really shows the emotion and love of the family.  Enjoy your pictures mom and dad! Special portraits with grandma!
