Meet Henry and Alicia’s sweet family! On a super windy afternoon, we strolled around Baker Beach and found some lovely spots for photos. I like taking traditional family shots, but lifestyle photography is my specialty. I love all the laughter, hugs, and kisses during each photo session that show my clients who they are as a family. Henry and Alicia’s family set a perfect example for this. Take a look at the happiness and love in their eyes!

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!!

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!

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!!

Paul & Mariana have been living in the Bay Area for a few months for work. Their family is heading back to Canada in the spring so they wanted a family session in front of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Such a beautiful family, and don’t you just love their outfits?! The funny thing is that the kids’ outfits stayed clean for only one photo, then they rushed to the water and started to have fun — kids will be kids!! I loved their energy and the bond between the kids and their parents, and I sure enjoyed capturing their memories here in California!
