R Family, maternity & newborn session | San Francisco family portraits photographer

The baby boy " Finn" was born 2 days after our maternity session at Crissy Field in San Francisco!   I'm so glad we were able to do a maternity session just in time.  We had lots of fun there. it was gorgeous evening in city and lots of people were out enjoying the nice evening by the water.  Big brother, Jack loved playing in sand and picking up, rocks!   R Family lives in beautiful townhouse in S.F and I LOVED their beautiful hardwood floor which I use to create Finn's portraits in bucket ;-)   Congratulations, R family!  Enjoy the pictures !!   Beautiful evening in San Francisco! Boys and rocks.... ;-) Soon to be a big brother! Finn, 10 day old Love these ones of mommy and Finn!!

Jason’s 18 months old session | Benicia, California Children & Family Portrait Photographer

Jason is 18 months old!!  I have been photographing Jason since he was 6 months old and this is my 4th sessions with him.  It's such a joy to watch Jason growing up through behind my lens.  Now he is 18 month old, he looks like a little boy!  Mom wanted water theme since Jason loves it.  And of course, He LOVED running into water during the session ( like my 3 years old son) and playing with stick, all things that boys like to do!  It was almost impossible to get Jason stay out from water, so we all went in and had fun ;-) Jason is going to be a big brother soon and I can't wait to meet their new addition to family.   Enjoy the pictures and thank you for another fun session! 6 months old session with their boat in back ground ;-) 9 months old session with leaves! 1 year old session at Mustard flower filed - O-N-E !! And 1 year old CAKE SMASH! 18 months old session at Benicia Beach.  See? he LOVES water! Baby on the way!  So exciting ;-)
