Sneak Peek for Peters Family {San Ramon, Danville, Alamo Family Photographer}

I spent a beautiful fall evening with the Peters family at Oak Hill Park. I know - I said I was on maternity leave, but now I'm REALLY on maternity leave. I felt much better so I took on one more photo shoot and I'm so glad I did. Little J & S were so great - I really didn't have to move around too much and they gave me the sweetest smiles. G & J- thanks so much for trusting an "about to burst" pregnant photographer for your family portraits! Rosanna- thanks for the referral!!

Sneak Peek for (another) Yang Family {San Ramon, Dublin Family Photographer}

The Yang Family returned this year for their Holiday Portraits. What a difference a year makes - the kids have grown up so much, esp little "MM". Last year, she just stayed in one place making it easy for me - this year, she had lots of fun running away from me! "A" got into character and showed me all the Jedi moves - if only I was cool enough to have some Jedi moves of my own....but then I would've probably gone into labor. :) Thanks R & J for trusting me once again to capture your beautiful family!

Sneak Peek for Yang Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

Yesterday, I got a glimpse of what my life is going to be like very soon. H's boys are the same age as my girls and she has a 3 month old baby girl. This little girl is going to be showered with love by her brothers! H, it was great meeting you and your family - (Thanks Kathy for the referral!) and I will get you the rest of the pics asap before the big day next week!

Sneak Peek for Hahn Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

Since I am now on semi maternity leave, I have hired a new photographer to work with me. Ok, maybe hired isn't the right word since it's my husband. Luckily, he'll work for food. :) Actually, my hubby and I started out doing wedding photography together so he is very, very qualified to take over for me while I am doing my best to keep baby in my tummy and avoid pre term labor.

Looks like I'm keeping this post all in the family - the pics above are of my sister and her hubby and their 2 kids. Enjoy! I will try to finish editing the pics before I deliver!

My very own diaper cake!

Ok, the diaper cake isn't really mine...it's for my third daughter, Eliza. My wonderful church group threw me a special baby shower yesterday and I just had to share pics of the beautiful diaper cake that my sis in law and good friend made me. I already told them that I refuse to take this diaper cake apart - it's just too cute! Audrey already asked if she could read the book on the top and I told her no because I can't bear to take it out! Thank you!!! I love it!

Sneak Peek for Thomas Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}

Little H came in for her 6 month portraits and she just lit up for the camera! With those big brown eyes and adorable smile, I just couldn't help but smile as I was shooting her (according to my daughter, I shouldn't be 'shooting' people. sorry!). Having 2 girls of my own and expecting another one, I think sisters are just 'oh so special.' I will be capturing H as she grows up during the next year and I can't wait to see how much she grows.
