T family maternity family session at Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco : San Francisco maternity and family photographer

Maternity session at Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. What a beautiful place , I love the architecture and color and it creates a beautiful backdrop for photo session. I photographed T family last December at their beautiful house in South Bay, San Francisco with mom's sister family and parents. It was such a fun extended family session.  This time, mom is expecting #2 ( It's a girl!!) and we got together for a maternity session.  Little I was just non-stop.. !!!  So, I run and follow everywhere he went ;-) Parents always surprise when I show them final images how I got beautiful images because from parents point of view, you can only see the boy was just running away from camera... !   We got lots of fun pictures and I can't wait to meet #2, a baby girl soon!!  Thank you for a fun session, T family and see you soon !!

Coco 5 days old. San Francisco Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Do you remember them? Back in May, I photographed Tina for her maternity photo session at Yerba Buena Garden and Union square in San Francisco.  It was one of my favorite maternity session ever!  You can see their photos from here : http://aikacardin.com/?p=605 After 2 months later , now they are family of  " three"  . I was so excited to see them again for newborn photo session!  Their baby girl , " Coco" ( love the name! ) was 5 days old. It's such a precious time of her life.  First couple weeks flies by so quickly especially for first time parents, so I know how important it is to capture the love of family  and document all little details for them.  Enjoy the pictures, mom and dad!  Coco is absolutely beautiful !

S family, East Bay San Francisco Walnut Creek natural light baby and family photographer

Everything was just perfect in this family session!  Beautiful Summer morning with little cloud in sky.  I photographed their adorable daughter, A at Valentine's Day Photo booth at Small Talk Family Cafe in Walnut Creek back in February.  She was so little that time and now she is sitting up on her own and even standing!!  I LOVE documenting baby grow through my lens.   These moments are so precious and you want to remember it forever.  They are only little for a little while.  This is my absolutely favorite age to photograph!  Once baby is sitting up on her own, we can create more variety of poses and I just LOVE those chunky arms and legs!!!!!!     These pictures will be displayed over their fireplace, entry way and playroom  with beautiful gallery wrap canvases and framed prints.   I'm sure it will make you smile every time when you walk by pictures.   I can't wait to show them final products ! Thank you S family for fun morning!   This one is going to be displayed as 24x30 gorgeous gallery wrap canvas over fire place! Whole family with their 2 dogs!
