Blues Brothers

Check out these fun and beautiful brothers from today's shoot!

 

Valentines

Here are some sweet images from a recent Mother/Daughter Valentine's Shoot.  We shot right in their backyard so we were able to bring out their two adorable dogs from some of the shots and they were great little models as you can see!

sweet little moments

Here are a couple sweet little moments from J's first photo shoot!

Crazy Cousins

Here are some fun images from last weeks shoot.  The two boys are brothers and the girl is their cousin.  They all had a fabulous time getting together and hamming it up for the camera so their grandparents could have a great keep sake!

Family at Wilder

Here are a few shots from my recent family photo shoot at Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa Cruz.  If you have never been, I highly recommend it!  I will definitely be going back for a hike!  I also think this setting would make for a fabulous engagement shoot for those who are headed down the aisle!

baby love

Here are some great loving baby bump shots from today's maternity shoot in Palo Alto

little hams in the rain

Yesterdays shoot at Coyote Hills Park was especially great for two reasons: 1) the rain stopped while we shooting and ONLY then 2) these two adorable little hams, Freddy & Naomi - they were great subjects and they loved the camera!

he's a little dream

Meet Elijah!  He was exactly two weeks old yesterday when we did his newborn shoot and he was an absolute dream!

Fall Fun

This is a fun collection of images I wanted to share from last weeks shoot down by the Hudson River in Garrison, NY of my adorable niece and nephews.  (As well as their cat who I am so painfully allergic too I actually had a 'bout with allergic conjunctivitis! It was even less fun than it sounds!)

How much do you love their initial sweaters?! (L-R: Emmett, Mira, Jasper & Henry)

family fun

While it is not always easy getting your four legged friends to pose for a photo...

...it generally is fun...

...and can actually make for some fun candid shots in the process!

I really enjoy the image we got in the end, what do you think?

Golden Gate Park Play

I just loved this fence at Golden Gate Park!  

It gave such a great textured background to the image that would otherwise not make such a strong impression. 

Fall is here!

What nature finds have your little ones discovered lately?

big little guy

Check out this great Mom & Son shot from yesterday's family photo shoot!

I am missing my little ones these days and thinking about them as they get ready to start school!  How time flies...the oldest is already going into 2nd grade!!  This little munchkin to the right is entering his second year of pre-school.

Can't they just stay small forever?

Brotherly Love

Going back through some of my older pictures today; I came across this one of my youngest nephew Emmett and my oldest nephew Henry in the background that I have never edited or shared before but totally love!

Mary Bee Photography: Baby Love

Visiting New York this weekend my lens was mainly focused on the little cutie below, my niece Mira.  She is hopefully going to be inspirational imagery for an upcoming venture, a new business called Mary Bee Photography.  Mary Bee Photography will be a new adventure for me and a way for me to share my love for photography and children with the world.  Share this blog post with anyone you might know interested in having great photos of their kiddies.
