Terra & Kenyon, Gender Reveal Session, Walnut Creek, East Bay, San Francisco, Maternity Photographer

I was so excited when I received a phone call from Terra.  She called me two days before her Dr. appointment to find out the gender of the baby and she had this fun idea of capturing the moments when they find out if it's boy or girl.  Terra had Dr. wrote down the gender in the closed envelope, she took it to The Balloon Man in Walnut Creek.  When I went to pick up this HUGE box filled with the balloon, I had to ask them if it's pink or blue.... ;-)  As I was transporting this box to the session location,  I was trying SO HARD not to say " she" when I refer to the baby when I was talking with Terra & Kenyon. As we are all walking together, Terra and Kenyon told me how much they were excited for this session and also mentioned that they wanted a GIRL.   Since I already knew it's a girl, I couldn't wait to see their face when the box was opened.  They were so emotional and I was, too.  I was clicking away shot in tears because I could feel how happy Terra and Kenyon were.   Terra and Kenyon created a " gender reveal announcement card" to send out to their family members!  What a fun and cute idea!!   We will be meeting in August again for maternity session then newborn session once their baby GIRL is born. Thank you so much…

Ashur 1 year old session ~ Fremont, East Bay, Children Photographer

I enjoyed meeting Ashur!  My first impression of Ashur was his gorgeous blue eyes!  HIs mom contacted me to photograph his 1st Birthday Party but since I will be out of town that day, we did his 1 year old session at park in Fremont, and it was lots of fun.   Ashur loved playing with stick and I'm so happy that I got such an adorable photos of him with stick, too ;-)  Once it gets closer to sunset, we moved to another part of the park with wooden path leading in the pond. It was just so beautiful there and one of my favorite is Ashur over mom's shoulder.   Look how beautiful his eyes are!  This is my favorite time to photograph, around sunset, love this golden color and soft light ;-) Happy 1st Birthday, Ashur and thank you mom and dad for letting me capture his milestone!
