Allana and Joe are expecting their first baby soon! As a recent mom myself, now I see maternity sessions a little differently — I know exactly how exciting it was when I was expecting for the first time! Just like with weddings, maternity photos document a couple entering a new chapter of their lives, but this time with a little one 🙂 [ read more … ]

Monica & Eric had their very intimate wedding at the Toll House Hotel with their family and a few of their closest friends. When we first met, Monica recounted how Eric proposed, how he was “acting really weird” but sweet, and I knew from how in love they were that we’d have a great time photographing their Los Gatos wedding.

For their engagement session, Abigail & Vaughn wanted a beautiful open field, and what better place than the Arastradero Preserve with its rolling hills blanketed in tall, golden grass? The timing was actually perfect that day — it was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which meant a beautiful full moon that greeted us at dusk! You can see it below in the photos 🙂 [ read more … ]

In between all the weddings and proposals during this busy summer, it’s nice to have a change of pace shooting fun photos with an adorable baby! For baby Aasmi’s first birthday, her parents set up a picnic complete with cute pastel-colored props and a beautiful cake for her to dig into, and she had lots of fun with it 🙂 Happy birthday Aasmi!

Simran had been planning his romantic Labor Day weekend surprise to his girlfriend Amita for more than a month, and contacted us after deciding on the San Jose Rose Garden. The Rose Garden is really great this time of year, as it’s covered with flowers of all colors in full bloom. The couple strolled through the garden taking lots of flower photos (Amita had actually gotten a new camera!) while we followed loosely behind. When the time came, under the soft sunset light, Simran got down on his knee and popped the question! Congrats you two — you’re too cute!
