Amaru’s 1st Birthday Party, Concord, East Bay, San Francisco, Birthday Party Photographer

Happy 1st Birthday, Amaru!  I enjoyed photographing Amaru's 1st Birthday Party at Mateo's Dream Park in Concord.  I have photographed another birthday party there last year and it's such a fun place for kids and perfect to have a birthday party!  As you can tell from pictures, party was " Mickey Mouse" theme.  Mom did such a great job decorating everything in blue, stars and Mickey Mouse!  As Philippine's tradition, there was a roasted pig to celebrate Amaru's special day and Amaru themed be very interested in it, too.... ;-)    Mom also requested a family session including grandparents and we got together again on mom's Birthday a few weeks ago.  Those will be up on blog soon, too! Thank you for having me for Amaru's special day! Enjoy the pictures and video!!

Mateo 8 days old, San Ramon, East Bay, San Francisco, newborn portrait photographer

Love Love Love Love this session. This is my third time photographing Varela family.  First time was last Summer for their family session, second time was maternity session in early Spring and now with their new addition to their family, Mateo!  Isn't he just beautiful?  Mom and Dad requested to do a family newborn session outside so we headed to this beautiful park in Livermore.  Nice soft lighting was just perfect for Mateo's newborn portraits.  I also love the one of him holding up his face, this is one of mom and dad's favorite and it was used on his baby announcement cards ;-)  I'm so glad that they signed up for a baby collection because I get to photograph again at 6months and 1 year old ;-)    Enjoy the pictures, mom and dad!
