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 !

Tina & Tim – maternity session at Yerba Buena Garden and Union Square in San Francisco

Check out this beautiful couple!  Mom is due in mid August and she looks amazing ! I really enjoyed meeting them and photographing them at Yerba Buena Garden and Union Square in San Francisco. Couple requested modern city look for their maternity session and these locations were just perfect!   It was my first time shooting at Yerba Buena Garden, what a beautiful park in the middle of San Francisco.  We started there and walked to Union Square for more " city look" portraits. Union Square is one of my favorite place to photograph  ( and of curse for shopping!) , all building,  heart object, atmosphere, it's very San Francisco!    They have picked the name of the baby  girl " Coco"  and she had custom shoes made by Pottery Barn Kids. Love the color of gold and also onzie with coconut print.  So cute!  They ordered 12x16 custom designed album made in Italy.  It's going to be an beautiful album and I know when the baby is older, she will enjoy seeing this album  with mommy and daddy. CHANEL for " Coco"
