Ava’s 18months old session & maternity session | Lafayette, California children, maternity, family portrait photographer

How adorable is she??   This session was to create Ava's 18 months old portraits, mom's maternity portraits and some fun family portraits!   Ava is such a sweet girl and she loved exploring nature with daddy and mommy.  IMy favorite outfit is a diaper cover with the boots ;-)  I got this shot when she was changing to her white dress from purple one,  she just run off while daddy was trying to change her ;-)  I asked daddy to let he run because I knew it would be a super cute photo!! We got some fun and cute portraits from this session and I can't want to see these up in Ava's house!  Enjoy the pictures, Mom and Dad! Soon to be a big sister! Daddy time!  Love this one ♥

Gavin’s 9 months old session | Lafayette, CA Baby Photographer

How cute is he??  I loved meeting Gavin for his 9 months old portraits.  His grandparents drove 2 hours to join the session, too!    Gavin joined my   Baby Collection so I will be photographing him again when he is 1 year old and 18 months old.  I love watching baby growing up through my lens ♥  Since Gavin's family lives in Oakland, I wanted to select the location between us.  It's always fun to search for a new photo location and Lafayette Reservoir is now one of my favorite place since Gavin's session.  Light was so pretty in early in the morning ;-)   Gavin is such a happy handsome boy and can you guess which one is mom's favorite image?  Mom loved the first image of Gavin sticking his tongue out and this is going up in their bedroom. I'm sure this picture will make them smile every morning!   I usually ask clients how they want to remember their children at this age, for Gavin, sticking his tongue out was his thing at 9 months old ;-)  So, I'm so happy that I was able to capture that!   Thank you for such a fun time and enjoy the pictures!!  I can't wait for next session together!     Mom's favorite! I LOVE this one!! How sweet is this with grandparents?

V family session, Pleasant Hill, California outdoor family portrait photographer

This session was given by mom's sister as a surprise gift to this family!  What a thoughtful gift!   Their little one was turning one this Summer and sister told me that they didn't have any family portraits as family of 5, yet and she thought it would be a nice gift ;-)  And I made sure I got lots of pictures of the youngest one!  Mom requested " Summer" look so I chose this one of my favorite location in San Ramon to do their family portraits.  Kids LOVED exploring in nature and I LOVED chasing after them, too.  what a fun time we had together!  Lots of smile, bubble, splashing, exploring ;-)  I can't wait to see these images displayed in their house!  It's going to look so beautiful with metal print collage!   Enjoy the pictures, V family!! One of my favorite! Mom and Dad got married in 2002 ~ See little one jumping?  So cute! Exploring the park How sweet ♥
