Valencia Family and Anniversary Session

This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph an amazing family! Turns out the day of their family session was their five year wedding anniversary, which I also had the privilege of photographing. Something about the five year mark is really quite special. A five year wedding anniversary is a really big deal, and as they say about businesses too, crossing that five year mark is a huge hurdle because most small businesses don’t last more than five years.

For a second I felt like I was getting old, but I also felt extremely blessed to have come this far, spent such an amazing day with the couple, and then five years later are photographing their beautiful family. That is really the meaning of success to me and my business. It does not get much better than that!

What I especially liked was how they incorporated some props to make the photos a little more interesting. Not only is it a fun way to get the kids involved, it makes for a more entertaining, and possibly more true to live portrait! I can’t wait to photograph the Valencia Family again and hope you enjoy some of my favorite images!

Family Photos

One of the most fulfilling parts of being a wedding and portrait photographer is seeing families and children grow. I don’t know what else matters in life other than cherishing the people in our families and remembering our lives through images. When we photograph a wedding, a baby, a toddler, a child, or a family, these are pretty much the moments in time we want to hold onto forever and they become our most priceless possessions.

When we have the ability to create that relationships beyond the wedding, we really feel that we are part of their family. We get to build that relationship which will last generations and beyond since the photos will never be discarded.

We had the pleasure of photographing Elizabeth and Jer, along with their beautiful daughter Evelyn recently. Both Elizabeth and Jer’s parents were there so it was very inspiring to have all three generations in the same photograph.

We truly live for capturing these moments in time that will be cherished by our clients friends forever!

Baby Alessandra

“What a friggen cute baby”! That’s what I said out loud when I saw baby Alessandra. She is four and a half months old and is the baby of my past wedding clients, Carole and Joey. She is so adorable and was so fun to photograph. She made the best expressions and didn’t even cry once. I can tell this little one is going to be very strong. She is going to start crawling and talking any day now.

Can’t wait to photograph her again! Enjoy some of our favorites.

Baby Amaya Rose | Newborn Session

I absolutely love this baby! Amaya Rose is so adorable and so small. She was born several weeks early and only weighed about five pounds but she is packing it on quick and is doing great!

The original plan was to do a maternity shoot with Tara while she was about 8 months pregnant, but Tara became ill and had to have baby Amaya earlier than expected. About a week after Amaya was born I dropped by their house in Campbell and took these precious photos of her.

We hope to photograph her soon as she is getting big fast. Enjoy our favorites from the shoot!
