It was a great San Francisco Sunday, a little chilly and a little cloudy, but I still had a blast photographing one of my favorite families in the world. My own kids tagged along and it was a semi-playdate, semi-pictorial rolled into you. Afterwards, we headed to California Academy of Science to eat lunch and hang out. Here’s the little slideshow of some of the photos.
I just like the way the title sounds. And apologies to any fans of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. My dear friend Bing is expecting Baby #2 and of course, I had to take her preggy photos! Like most second-time pregnant women (including me), Bing was more receptive to having her photo taken compared to her first pregnancy. I’m not sure why this is the case but in my own experience, it was because I knew it was done with the baby-making and wanted to immortalize the moment. As of my writing this, Bing is anxiously awaiting the D-Day (delivery day not doomsday), so until then enjoy these photos of the baby inside. Once that sucker pops out, double the fun!
Sunday morning @ 8:30 am and I was greeted by three smiling faces, not at all perturbed by the early time. I knew I was off to a great start! Not only were they an adorable & gorgeous family, the Toombs exuded a genuine warmth and kindness that definitely reflected in their photos. I was snapping away like crazy, because every moment was just picture-perfect! Three year old Ruby was so excited about her new baby sister, the happiness was infectious! There are tons of great shots from this session, I had a hard time selecting the ones for posting here. Enjoy!
New baby! New baby skin! New baby smell! I love my job…I really do. Baby Eli is the first baby of Caesar and Maureen, whose wedding I covered. He was a total bundle of cuteness. Here are some of my favorite shots from a recent session.
We all had a blast at the Baby Loves Disco Earth Day celebration, held at Avalon Disco last April 5. Whew – I really pushed myself hard and by the end of the day – I had photographed over 70 children in a span of 3 hours! Can you believe it? It was such an awesome experience to meet all the kids and parents who visited our booth. Thank you so much! The photos are now up on the on-line gallery. You know the password! You can also check out the slideshow here. Til next time — keep it groovy!
Here’s what the booth looked like:
And kudos to my super efficient assistants and staff that day – Angela, Josh, Kinsley and Andreas – you are all fabulous! Thank you!
What a great way to kick off Spring! A gorgeous family, Roseanne, Dennis and Bambam joined me at Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto for their family pictorial session. Little Bambam was such a trooper! He looked much bigger than his 15 months – and wasn’t shy to show off his big smile. Here are some of my favorite shots. And you can check out the slideshow here.
The month of April, let’s celebrate Earth Day by putting our dancing shoes and getting your grove on! Baby Loves Disco South Bay will be held at the Avalon Nightclub on April 5, Sunday from 2-5pm. It promises to be a super fun event for the 5 and under set – complete with face-painting, arts area, crawling zone, and green giveaways! I will be there on hand to take free portraits that send out a message. Yes, you heard it! Your child can be the ambassador for Earth’s cause with fun photos, to share with family and friends.
So be there, for the love of Mother Earth! We’re looking forward to meeting you! Click on the Baby Loves Disco logo above to buy your tickets on-line. They sell out fast!
Each baby has a distinct personality and it always amazes me that it manifests at such an early age in life. The moment I met Eshwar, he was staring back at me with his wide inquisitive eyes. Such an alert baby! He watched my every move, and obliged for each set-up. Here are some of my favorites from his pictorial session.
I went back for a second round of photos with the now two month old Siddarth. He’s fast becoming one of my favorite babies! We were blessed with beautiful light that day, and the presence of his grandparents. I just know that these photos will one day be so special to him.
Such a handsome baby! I see a little heartbreaker in the future…
Talk about pressure! I had 15 minutes with these little beautiful girls as they were all set to fly back to New York City. 4 month old Nina was a little shy but very cooperative and older sis Malaya was feisty and a little ball of energy. Malaya’s good nature and Nina’s awe for her old sister made this mini-session a unique experience. I can’t wait to photograph them again next year.
