New JMP website + blog

I am really excited to announce my new website! I've been wanting to consolidate my blog and website into one easy to view site and my husband made it all come together. This blog will no longer be updated - head on over to my new site and let me know what you think. It's still coming together piece by piece so please let me know if there are things that are a little buggy.

Sneak Peek for L family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

The L family girls are seasoned pros! I've been photographing them since baby C was 3 months old and now she's 3 years old already. She wanted to show me what a good helper she was by carrying all of their coats from the park to the parking lot. She kept looking back at me to make sure I was watching - so cute! By the end of the session, all the girls were saying, "take a picture of me doing this!" That jumping picture above? It was all their idea!

Sneak Peek for Y Family {Fremont Family Photographer}

It's almost Halloween but here at JMP, we're ready for Christmas. The Y family came out completely decked out with santa hats - even baby A and he actually kept it on! What a great idea to do an extended family portrait for the holidays!

Sneak Peek for V Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

I first photographed the V family 2 years ago and it was so fun to see them again! They suffered through the 85 degree heatwave we've been having without a complaint. The girls were so sweet and they totally rocked their black shiny boots - love them!  

Sneak Peek for L Family {Fremont Family Photographer}

Can't tell from the pictures, but the park was all set up for a Halloween pumpkin festival right before the L family arrived for their holiday session. One of the things I love about Shinn Park is that there are so many different areas that serve as beautiful backdrops for pictures, so we were able to avoid all the Halloween decor without a problem. There is also plenty of room for boys to run around and climb trees! I actually didn't have to do any running around with these 3 boys - they were really well behaved! Look at those smiles!

Sneak Peek for L Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

Little *J* and I had so much fun exploring all the areas of Shinn Park. Even though it was a warm, sunny day we tried to envision Santa Claus, presents and hot chocolate and get in the holiday spirit. Maybe I need to bring a fake snow machine out next year? :)

Thanks L family for letting me capture your beautiful family!

Sneak Peek for F Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

I've been photographing the F family for 3 years now and it's so fun to see how the kids change from year to  year. I wasn't sure what to expect with little *T* now that he's walking but he was so well behaved. At one point, I was trailing behind taking pictures and he stopped and turned back to make sure I was coming with them! Yes, he loves me that much and that's what I want to believe and I'm sticking to it! :) Miss *K* is such a natural beauty - the camera LOVES her.

What a great way to start out my holiday sessions this year!
