Norwood Family Photos at Mitchell Park | Palo Alto Family Portrait Photographer

The Norwood family recently moved to California from Texas, and I’m thrilled to shoot their yearly family photos for 2014! Peter and Jeannette are a sweet couple and Aaron was full of energy and climbed on everything he could in that park 🙂 And I have to say, Aaron was quite the model — I didn’t have to pose him or anything, my camera just loved him!

Peter, Jeannette and Aaron, welcome to the Bay Area!

Grace & Peyton’s Engagement Photos | Palo Alto Foothills Park Photography

Grace & Peyton are from Georgia and went to the same elementary school… how cute! They studied in college together and later moved to California. They’re having their wedding in Athens (like David & me!), and even though they just got engaged, they’re SO on top of all the wedding planning. Their wedding photographer will definitely be in for a real treat — it can’t get better than shooting the wedding of a beautiful sweet couple who have all the details carefully planned!

Ruth’s Maternity Yoga Session | Mountain View Photo Shoot

We spent a lovely evening with Ruth, the mother-to-be. Ruth wanted us to capture some yoga poses that connect her with the baby. With some help from the gorgeous lighting that day, we got some stunning shots at the park! Did I mention that Ruth is also a fellow Canadian? Best of luck with your growing family, and we can’t wait to see the baby!

Max & Renee’s Anniversary & Bridal Session | Mountain View/Saratoga Romantic Photography

Max and Renee are our close friends. We had the privilege of being their maid of honor and best man at their wedding last August, and David actually proposed to me that night under a meteor shower right after their wedding so it was a special night for all of us. Since their one-year anniversary is approaching, we wanted to gift them a special photo session at Shoreline Park in Mountain View and the Hakone Japanese Gardens in Saratoga. Their friendship means a lot to us and we can’t wait for them to be a part of the bridal party at our wedding this October! Yay!!! Happy anniversary, Max and Renee!
