Settling in my new studio in Mountain View.. I am so happy about this new location and I look forward to post a few pictures of the place in a couple of weeks when it’ll be completely finished. Yesterday it worked just fine though for capturing these happy Irish eyes… Landon came to inaugurate my new studio with mom and grandma to cheer him up, you can see him cracking up in mom’s arms right below!

To soften the skin rash I chose to apply a grainy filter, it also adds a more romantic feeling to the images.

A little nudity.. excuse us!! But this is too cute! Mom was holding his back but I carefully removed her arm and Landon magically sits on his own

We know how babies love to be naked, but Landon seemed to have a lot of fun trying out different textiles that I had around, velvet, wool and laces. I look forward to shoot more baby pictures here at my new studio in Mountain View,  come see me soon!

I have photographed Alyce and Ben family from Los Gatos for a number of years.. I started with their wedding actually and it has been such a thrill to follow them as they’re growing a family.. now they have welcomed their second baby girl and I went to visit them at their home to capture this special moment in their lives…

Sweet and quiet Maya Rose was a bit serious the morning of our session but nonetheless beautiful and intense!

Here’s Maya Rose taking a short nap before we started our photo session, later posing with mom, dad, and her sister Sierra.

We even had time for a little adventure outdoors in the Los Gatos wilderness!

And after all this perfect posing let’s end with a funny “outtake”, this one below is actually one of my favorites of the day!

Meet Zoe, one happy sweet little girl! I photographed her last week at her home, the best place in my experience to photograph newborns and toddlers, they feel comfortable and safe in their environment. Using only natural light I pick the brightest room (usually the master bedroom or the living room) in the house and look a plain background so there are no distraction in the scene. Here are my favorites of Zoe.

Zoe sat through a few wardrobe changes without much fuss, a real pro, always smiling!

Baby Noah is growing fast..  I photographed him last July when he was about two months old and a few days ago his mom and dad wanted to remember his first Christmas with an official photo shoot Vintage Style, since Noah has recently learn to sit up on his own… at least for a few moments.. as you can see from the photo above, he’s ‘dangerously’ leaning on one side.. but how he poses his feet its just too cute!

One more couple I have loved to photograph on their wedding is welcoming their first child into this world. It’s such a treat for me to see their family grow, I am so happy for them. I photographed Nicole during her pregnancy in San Francisco this past July and I finally got to meet Avery last week, we met in Holbrook Park (yes, can’t get enough of those colorful trees this time of year) for her first Christmas family pictures.

Introducing Logan, only a couple of weeks old… It was just a few weeks ago that I had taken pictures of his mom, dad and brother Blake in Half Moon Bay.

Noah is finally here! Well, it’s been over 45 days, but here are some “official” photos of Nadia and Luca’s son! Truth to be told, Noah has a whole website of his own, talk about someone who’s already an expert in posing!

This happy baby girl is Ela! She and her mom came to see me at my new Studio a few days ago. I am really happy that I am now collaborating with a few colleagues and sharing Light Sky Studios in Burlingame.

I finally have a space for shooting indoors and meet clients. Rain or shine And, since we are well in the middle of winter it is just what I needed to keep working with the same energy and enthusiasm. Work is slowing down due to the Holidays right now, but I have already few ideas to keep the winter warm with a few special offers. But I am glad to also take some time off and enjoy Christmas time! Happy Holidays everyone!!
