Lillian’s Cake Smash | San Jose Baby Portrait Photographer

Lillian’s cake smash was an absolutely adorable one!! We started the session with her wearing her little red tutu in her parent’s backyard. For this session, Julie and Eric provided all kinds of props and made sure that Lillian was well-fed and had a good nap, giving me lots of opportunities to snap many happy shots! We were all laughing pretty hard at Lillian’s reaction after her cake smash; the sugar high hit her literally within five minutes of digging into the cake, and she turned from a quiet baby into a dancing queen! I will always remember the sparkles in Lillian’s eyes when she took the first bite of that frosting, and the “hmmmm” sound she was making during the whole cake smashing. It was just ADORABLE!!

Sauptik and Sohini are getting married next month in India! Sohini came all the way from Seattle for this engagement session, just in time for our lovely spring weather. The grass in the park was changing colors to a lush green and made for a perfect backdrop. We also took some more photos at the Rengstorff House, a lovely little wedding venue in Mountain View.

Jaspal’s Surprise Proposal to Sabrina at Garrapata State Beach | Carmel Photographer

Jaspal contacted me a couple weeks back and had everything planned out — on a nice Saturday morning, he and his girlfriend Sabrina would drive out from the California Central Valley all the way to Garrapata State Beach (a bit south of Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey), then he’d propose on rocky cliff overlooking this beautiful beach where they had been a few times before. After that, they’d continue on for a late romantic lunch. [ read more … ]

Xavier’s 6 Month Baby Session at Arastradero Preserve | Palo Alto Family Photographer

Little Xavier is 6 months old!! He has leveled up from his toothless stage — he officially has two teeth now!! Xavier loves Mommy’s singing and Daddy’s cuddle, enjoys pulling Mommy’s hair and giggles to all the silly things I say to him. I was screaming “sooooo cute” in my usual high-pitched voice constantly while editing these photos and David had to find a headset for that 😀 Now let’s see how cute Xavier’s pictures are!

Luna’s Baby Session | Bay Area Lifestyle Newborn Photography

We all have been waiting for Luna to come to this world! She is a healthy and beautiful baby 😀 Luna may appear to be a deep sleeper judging by the photos, but that was not quite true — she’s about a month old now and her sleep pattern is constantly changing! She would wake up to any light movement during the photo shoot, but thanks to Mom and Grandma, we got some really cute shots. Look at Luna in her cute Little Mermaid and Minnie Mouse costume!!
