Ostrander





How wonderful is this family? I came in with a few ideas for their maternity shoot but there was the most prolific berry bush on the way to their house, so change in plans! I enjoyed my time with them so much I did not want to leave. This shoot was taken two days before the newest member of the Ostrander group arrived.

Lucy Newborn portraits





My poor little friend Lucy. We finally got her newborn portraits done. I love the holiday theme and we even got her big sister Riley in for some serious sloppy kisses.

Triplets Pregnancy Portraits




Gwen is amazing not to mention gorgeous. Maternity sessions are my favorite but this pregnancy portrait required a bit more planning then normal. Gwen is carrying triplets and movement is limited. I am honored that she not only chose me but that the maternity portraits are so important to her. I can not wait until Feb. when I can do my first triplet newborn portrait session!

Baby Gus' First Baby Portrait





For anyone who has been on my website you must have seen Smitha. She is absolutely gorgeous and her maternity portrait session was breathtaking. It was not surprise that her son is beyond darling. Such bright eyes and those cheeks!

On a Personal Note





Here are my darling little beasties playing around the Academy of Sciences. We had a fantastic time and the albino alligator made for an incredible subject. I must say I was very happy there was so much space between the two of us=0)

Newborn Baby Boy Portrait Shoot





For any of you who follow Bay Area Parent magazine Svetlana was the cover model for the baby issue. We had a blast shooting it and I was very excited to go and meet her and Igor's baby boy. I love maternity sessions especially since pregnancy portraits lead to newborn pictures!

Newborn Portrait Miss Mia


I am always amazed at how quickly time goes by between maternity portraits and the first baby pictures. It seems like now time has past since I last saw Caroline and did a belly wrap for her pregnancy portraits. Yesterday I got to go to their home to take Mia's newborn portraits. How lucky I was seeing such a gorgeous little girl with the most amazing eyes! Her baby portraits are daring but since I know her brothers I didn't expect anything less.

Oakland Family Photographer (Miss Brooklyn)




I have to say I always look forward to my time with Miss Brooklyn (her parents are pretty cool too). Look at these bright sparkly eyes and her fantastic punk rock hair. I Love photographing babies especially babies with so many expressions!
We photographed at Piedmont Park in Oakland.

Rose Family Portraits





Tiffany Rose  her four children and very kind husband drove all the way out to Sunol for family portraits. It was amazing to be a part of watching four very strong personalities come together fight, laugh, and smile. 
Tiffany and her husband like a VERY photojournalist prospective to their family portraits. Very little posing involved. The most I did was suggesting a tree or a rock climb and at the end everyone jumped in an antique wagon.
Spending time with Tiffany and her family is always a pleasure and I love stretching out and just capturing what happens.
