End of Summer Break {San Ramon Family Photographer}



K and A trying to get E to smile for me.

So sad to see summer break coming to an end. The kids have really enjoyed the relaxed schedule and so have I! Gotta get used to waking up early again...

Sneak Peek for SR: {Berkeley, San Ramon Maternity Photographer}







I met beautiful mom to be, SR in Tilden Park in Berkeley. I was getting nervous while driving up the hill because the fog was so thick and the temperature dropped dramatically as I neared our meeting spot. Fortunately, the fog cleared and all that was left was a gorgeous setting for maternity portraits. I always say this, but I'm so lucky to have clients who are so stylish and pick the perfect outfits. SR is almost 8 months pregnant and looks fabulous!

21 months {San Ramon Photographer}



E hides her hands behind her back when she doesn't want me to hold her hand.

I realized today that E is now 21 months! In just a few short months, she'll be 2 and my baby will be no longer be a baby. Ok, so she's not really a baby right now but in my eyes she will always be "Baby E." She is heading right into the terrible 2s and compared to some of the attitude that my 5 and 6 year old girls give me, the tantrums and crying don't seem too bad! I took E out for a short walk today in hopes that a change of scenery would help her mood and she was so excited to ride her bike. Of course, I ended up pushing it most of the way while E wanted to be held!
