2016 Fall Holiday Family Session!

I hope you are enjoying Summer!  I have been getting lots of inquiries for Fall Holiday Family Sessions and my calendar is started filling up!   Fall is a beautiful time of the year to create and update family portraits and I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces again soon!  I feel very honored to have many repeating clients who chose me to create family portraits every year. THANK YOU!  I'm putting together limited Fall Holiday Mini Sessions and will be announcing in end of August. Please keep an eye out on my next newsletter!  If you are interested in extended family sessions, Baker Beach Family Session, Family session at your home, destination family session in Napa, etc, please contact me now to reserve your spot! I'm currently in Japan visiting my family and friends and enjoying yummy Japanese food everyday! I'm taking 3 weeks off to slow down and recharge my creative battery.  It's a time where I get to shoot for the fun and take pictures of my kids! See you all in Fall! Best, Aika * It has been very busy with back to back photo sessions since I came back from my Japan trip and running little behind on putting together Fall Holiday Mini Info :-(  Sign up will start shortly by end of this week, September 2nd!  Thank you for your patience ;-) ~ Baker Beach Family Session ~ September and October is the best time !   ~ Extended Family Session~

I have been enjoying photographing T family for last 2 years!  Our First family session together was at Rancho San Antonio in Los Altos, when their twins were 1 year old, second session was at Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto last Fall, mom was expecting baby #3!  And here we are, couple week ago, I visited their home for life style newborn session when their baby is 1 week old.  My life style newborn session is done at comfort of clients house, using their bedroom, living room, nursery as a backdrop. I think it makes it even special to create newborn family portraits as this is baby's first home. I truly LOVE documenting family's history through my lens.  You can't stop time but I can capture it for you so that you can remember these precious moments forever...   Thank you for your trust in my work, T family!  I hope you like your pictures as much as I do!   2014, Fall 2015, Fall 2016 , Spring She already knows how to smile for Camera! How adorable is this?
