Sneak Peek for Lee Family {Bay Area Family Photographer}

Trying to kiss mom without laughing

Love E's effortless jump - she looks so joyful!

Love.

K is ready to be a model!

Love this family portrait. I need to photoshop your dog into this!

Such a cutie!

I am SO thrilled to share a sneak peek for the Lee Family (I just realized I've shot 5 Lee Families so far!) We've had to reschedule their family session multiple times due to various reasons and I am so happy that we were able to meet this past Saturday. I was warned that the weather in Mountain House was cold and windy but by the time I arrived for our evening session, the winds had calmed down and the weather was absolutely perfect. The kids were so easy to photograph - all 5 of them! I put them through a lot of running and jumping and there were no complaints! (at least I didn't hear any) :) B&C, I am so blessed by your support and friendship. Thank you for your prayers and constant encouragement. You have a beautiful family - C, I hope I was able to make your dream come true!

Happy Mother's Day

Baby #1: *A* 

Baby #2: *K*

Baby #3: *E*

Don't laugh!! These are definitely not the most flattering pictures of me but I love them because they are the first pics I have with each of my children.  I was pretty heavily medicated with my first so I'm grateful for the pics I have to remind me of what happened! Do you remember holding your baby for the first time? Do you remember looking into your child's eyes for the first time? I remember. I also remember the non stop crying (from me and the babies!), the explosive poops, the painful nursing every 2 hours, the love/hate relationship with the breast pump. I also remember the cuddling, the first words, the giggling, baking together, and sweet bedtime prayers. I hope I never forget these things.  Thank you A, K, and E for challenging me everyday.

My princesses

*K* lined up her pink accessories.

Love these heels. 

*A* was pretending to sleep so her prince could come and wake her up. Unfortunately, it was just me she woke up to.

Love the elbow action here.

 *A* and *K* started playing dress up last night as I was doing the dishes. They rarely ever play dress up anymore so I was surprised to see how much fun they were having. It was so cute to see how imaginative they were being and of course, I had to stop what I was doing and go grab my camera. I made the mistake of calling *K* by her name and she insisted I call her "Princess Belle" all night. I tried to have *E* dress up and take a pic with her big sisters but she had such a big tantrum that I gave up. Yes, photographers have these moments too.

Sneak Peek for Lee Family {Dublin Family Photographer}

I had the pleasure of spending a fun Saturday afternoon with the Lee family. Although it was windy and chilly, we braved the outdoors (yes, I think I've mentioned a few times how wimpy I am with the cold) and headed out to the Shannon Community Center and Park in Dublin. We were confined to a few areas due to a wedding being held there but everyone was so flexible and easy going that we were still able to get some great shots. Like many families, the Lee family didn't have many pictures of all 4 of them together. We focused on a lot of group shots as I think it is really important to have a good family portrait. I also had to embarrass A and D and get some couple pictures as they haven't had professional portraits since their wedding almost 10 years ago! Thank you Lee family for being such an inspiration to everyone - including me!

Sneak Peek for So Family {Fremont, San Ramon Dol Photographer}

I photographed Little *R's* first birthday party/ dol at their house last weekend. It was a very intimate get together and *R* seriously looked like a royalty in his hanbok. I was so happy when there was a break in the rain and we were able to head outside for some shots. Happy 1st birthday *R*!

20-30 minute session

As long as the weather cooperates (rain, rain go away!), the sessions will be held at an outdoor location. Email me for more details. 

Happy Birthday Middle C! {Pleasanton Birthday Photographer}

Table all set for the princesses

Look at this cake!! All the girls were in awe. Seriously - it's prettier than my wedding cake.

About to blow out her candles - so special!

Every princess needs an armoire filled with dresses.

 I had to include this picture of Big C.  Isn't she beautiful???

A princess party - what more can a 5 year old ask for? Actually, at the party all the princesses went around saying what they would wish for if they had one wish. Birthday girl's one wish in the whole world was to have a dog - C and B - will the next family portrait include a furry four legged animal?
