As I wrapped up my last portrait session for 2011 with this perfect little boy, Nathaniel- I couldn't help but acknowledge how fortunate I am to do what I love. There really is nothing more pure than those first days of life, and the sweet fleeting moments that as a new parent you try your best to soak in. Your heart is full almost to the point of exploding with love and joy, and you want nothing more but to share this tiny little gift with the world. It is so very special and I am so thankful to be invited into the homes and lives of my clients and friends, and to share even if just a glimpse of these tender moments. This was just the first of many family sessions with Angela and Dan and Nathaniel, and perhaps whoever may come next in their family! Even though our shoot was cut a bit short, these moments will be forever cherished. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas, Everyone!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the GAL who'll decide where to go.
I could easily write a novel about this girl. Catia is truly one of the greatest people to be around- she is confident, super silly, passionate, multi-talented, beautiful, charismatic and true to herself. She's headed toward amazing things in this life... and I can't wait to see them unfold for her. Catia, you are open to the world around you and you seek more from every experience. These are things I hope to learn from you! So happy to have had this opportunity to take these photos for you- I hope you treasure them always. Oh, the places you'll go!
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

Grass stains on new tights, leaves in the hair, laughing, running and playing, (and maybe driving mom and dad a little crazy). These are the ingredients for a perfect family photo session! I had a great time with fellow photographer Sarah and her sweet family Sunday at Empire Mine in Grass Valley. So thankful to be enjoying and playing in this beautiful California weather with great folks! Here are some of my favorite photos from our lively, fun filled shoot! Enjoy.
