We’ve been wanting to have a paint session shoot for a while and when we reached out to our photographer friend @emilycohenphoto to see if she’d be game to collaborate for a mommy and me creative session, we were so excited when she said YES!

The best photo sessions? Making memories playing and having fun with your kids!

These photos are by far some of our faves 🥰

We took this family’s photos last year, and when they told us they were having another little one we were so excited for them!
Pearson-Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto is one of our favorite spots in the spring for green rolling hills! It never disappoints–especially those scenic views!

SPECIAL POST!

This has been our favorite grad session BY FAR because it was for our niece who is a senior this year. ISN’T SHE BEAUTIFUL!? 😍😍😍

It’s also her birthday today, and we’re feeling all the feels. 🥹

When her parents told us they were going to have a baby girl, we couldn’t contain our excitement—because this young lady made us aunties, which is a privilege and we’d never take for granted! We’ve been so blessed to have close relationships with each of our nieces and nephews’—and love being involved in their lives! Whether it’s going to their birthday parties, playing games, school celebrations, church events, dressing up for silly parties, or just spending quality time with them—WE LOVE BEING AUNTIES!

So happy birthday (and graduation!) to this girl, who’s beautiful smile, creativity, quirkiness, joy and laughter have always brought a smile to our faces. We love you and are so proud of you. 🥰

Most times before the photoshoot begins, we hear…

“I’m awkward in front of the camera,”
or
“I’m not photogenic or great at getting my photos taken.”

And right away we tell them not to worry about any of that because you don’t have to be a model to get great photos.

We just tell them to be themselves and have fun because the best “YOU” to photograph is the REAL you!

And when they do, they soon realize they’re better than they thought in channeling their inner model.

We’re just over here catching up on the business side of things – hello second winter these past few days! – and have been enjoying the slower pace BUT we’re itching to get out this week and photograph the green hills and all of the wildflowers that are coming from all this rain we’ve had lately!

The getting-ready photos with these two was so fun!

We always recommend getting ready photos as part of your wedding timeline because they are moments you will want to remember and cherish–whether it’s your mom tying the gown, or hanging out with your friends!

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
