Delia's Family - San Francisco Precita Park and Flora Grubb Gardens

We met bright and early at Precita Park before 8am and I absolutely loved spending time with this beautiful family on a sunny San Francisco day. Delia is 9 months old and her adorable parents, Ilyse and Justin had a wonderful idea to give her some portraits in a neighborhood she loves. Lucky for us, the trees were blossoming and we got tons of smiles (with few fun outtakes at the end of this post). 

We had several friendly neighborhood folks stop by to comment on how amazing this family looked, and they had a ton of fun making baby Delia laugh -- it turns out this lil girl is a doggy person! And when she wasn't feeling the camera, daddy played along... :) Stay silly, beautiful fam!

Maternity Selfies With My Son, Noah

We are expecting our second born this April. I've always wanted to have some photos with my now 3-year-old son, Noah during my pregnancy, but somehow life just gets in the way! So one day, we spontaneously cleaned up and set up our studio at home just for fun. I cut his hair, and added a few curls to my own. :) The only thing missing is his daddy. Here are the two of us a couple weeks ago at 35 weeks pregnant. When Noah's little sister arrives, I can't wait to share some photos.

Baby Orion's Family - San Francisco Newborn Photography

Welcome to the world, baby Orion! I was lucky enough to take Asa and Coralie's maternity portraits, and what a little miracle that their little boy was now in front of my camera. We had a small at-home session a few months ago to capture portraits of their beautiful new family, and I can't wait to see baby O grow. xo

Baby Bradley at The Palace of Fine Arts - San Francisco Family Photography

What a beautiful day at The Palace of Fine Arts to make some memories. I met baby Bradley and his parents, Grace Ann & Brad during their newborn session, and it's amazing how fast six months flies by! We met for some fun (and some elusive sun!) and baby Bradley made all sorts of silly faces while eating leaves, getting kissed by his parents, and letting his toes feel the grass and trees. Soon he'll be one year old and running circles around his folks. Here are some of my favorites from the day. Enjoy!
