San Francisco In-Home Session {Inner Richmond}

It’s always so wonderful when a former client refers a new client and you feel like you made a new friend. My in-home lifestyle family sessions are scheduled for 2 hours to allow for breaks and time for baby to feed and change clothes etc. But I always end up chatting with my clients after the session as I am collecting my gear and I enjoy that part just as much as taking the photos. I just love getting to know people and it’s one of the reasons I love photographing families in their home, where they are most comfortable.

This session took place on a beautiful Saturday morning in the inner Richmond district of San Francisco. The couple’s apartment was so beautifully decorated and the whole space was super inviting. I could have taken so many more detail shots of the apartment but the baby stole the show and we documented all her cuteness to include her smiles, giggles, fingers, and toes. Her nursery was curated by her talented mama and deserves to be in a magazine.

I was so happy to hear that they had 2 cats and wants dot include them in the shoot. Animals always make a house a home and it was so fun to capture them hanging out in their space and on the cat scratchers (they were handmade by mama and they were just perfect!). It really was hard to narrow down the pictures to share because I had so many favorites. Keep all the in-home sessions coming my way…I’m hooked!

In-Home Lifestyle Photo Session {Mill Valley}

When I pulled up to this client's home, I knew it was going to be a good session. But when I saw the amazing natural light in the master bedroom, where we were shooting, I was beyond excited! Even though it was a small space, I knew we would get some great shots for this adorable family. The littlest one was on the go during the whole shoot and didn't appreciate being confined to one room but we just let her do her thing. Everyone had plenty of fun and I think their personalities shine through in the photos. It was so special to get their holiday card in the mail with some of these pics! It made my photographer heart so happy!

Photo Session on Family Ranch {Sonoma County Photographer}

This outdoor family session in rural Sebastopol was extra special. These are close friends of ours and Erik and Cara are some of the most loving parents I know. They have the cutest family and when they asked me to photograph them on the ranch where Erik grew up, I was thrilled. The weather had been rainy but we caught a lucky break on this particular Saturday and had blue skies for our afternoon full sun session. The property is gorgeous and is home to friendly dairy cows that joined our shoot. The kids ran around with the cows, climbed fences, laughed, and played in the mud! I know these kiddos will love looking back on these photos someday and reliving the memories they made on the property where their dad are up.
