Ellie & Timmy, I met them about 1 year ago for their 2 years old portraits and I was so happy to see them again for their 3 years old portraits! We went to Gamble Garden in Palo Alto and had so much fun together! This time, their grandparents joined at the session which made a session even more fun and special ;-) I love taking pictures of grandparents and kids together. I love capturing those sweet moments between them. There are so many cute images from this session and Custom Album mom and grandma ordered is a perfect way to remember this special moments of their life. I can't wait to show them final products! Below image is from last year.... and look how much they've grown ! Enjoy the video, too!

I did my first interior photo shoot at Bloom Retreat in Walnut Creek a few months ago and now those photos are up on their website! It shows on each pages and also at this " photo " page to show them all together! I'm so excited to see them there. Just in case if you haven't heard of Bloom, Bloom offer very relaxing environment for busy mom to take a " break". They have kid's daycare on site so while kids are playing, mommy get to take classes, massage, or simply relax in their living room with cup of tea. I've taken Yoga classes there and I love it! Mommy deserve a break and this is a perfect place!

Does she look so gorgeous? Mom is expecting her 3rd baby in late August. She told that they never done any maternity portraits or newborn portraits and she wanted to capture this special moment since she is not planning 4th baby. They are expecting a baby girl, name " Claire" and mom had such a cute idea of photographing her belly and name blocks together. I love how the image came out and this is going to be displayed in nursery room with her newborn portraits together. It's going to look SUPER cute!! I'm so excited for Claire's newborn session and having lots of cute ideas ;-) Mom signed up for my most popular package, Baby Collection so I get to watch her growing up through my lens for her first year and hopefully years and years. Enjoy the pictures! These are the final products beautifully displayed in client's house!!!
