Four weeks ago, we welcomed another addition to the family, Kasen Dao. Now my brother & sister-in-law (and the rest of the fam) have two little munchkins to love!

Here he is sharing a moment with his big brother, Sean.

I'm so excited to be sharing more of Timothy's newborn photos. He is so cute and cuddly that you just want to pick him up and hold him in your arms! Here he is, Timothy James, born February 27, 2011.









As you can tell, he'll be a huge San Francisco sports fan!

I know I had said a few posts ago that I am no longer doing weddings or portraits, but I have such a soft spot for newborns that when Timothy's super excited Aunt Kathleen asked if I do newborn photography, I jumped at the opportunity. Newborn babies are definitely an exception to my "no more portrait photography" rule, and with Timothy you can see why - soooooo adorable!!!

Meet the newest San Francisco Giants fan, Timothy James at 12 days old.


More of Timothy to follow. =)

For anyone interested in a newborn portrait session, I will happily schedule a session for newborns two weeks old and younger.

I've been wanting to post these baby photos for a while now, and finally the time has come! David and Adrienne are the proud, loving, and at the moment -very tired- parents of this sweet little baby girl. Ella was just the ideal baby to photograph. She slept like a baby throughout most of the session. We had a couple of unforgettable moments that involved some drycleaning after the session, but it just makes us all laugh to think about it! Here are some of my favorites from Ella's newborn session.





















She has such beautiful blue eyes!








 And finally, the happy family!

I had so much fun shooting this newborn session. Ella Louise and her parents helped make everything go so smoothly! =)



More to come after the next wedding post!

Born to my best friend from high school on May 13, Anthony is the proud baby of two adoring parents, Cristina & Artin.

Cristina & I have been friends for over 20 years - WHOA...for some reason that makes me feel so old! We've laughed our heads off together and cried our broken hearts out together. We were each others' alibis to our parents and have watched each other grow, change, but essentially stay the same. Now, I'm happy to see her start her family with two very special guys, her hubby & the new love of their lives, Anthony.

A little angel...

Some of you may remember Galen & Lanie from previous years' posts. Their engagement session in San Diego was a blast and so was their wedding in Orange County. Now these two have made one of the cutest babies ever and I'm glad we were finally able to get a family session in for them. Here's my baby nephew Sean with his mom and dad! =)

He was really excited when we gave him this gigantic lollipop.

Galen wanted to make sure he didn't chew through the plastic. Sean was not happy...taking candy from a baby!

"Why, Dad?!!!!! Why'd you do that to me??!!"

Kisses didn't work.

We had to give him his candy back. Now he looks at us all with suspicious eyes.

Someone's all better now!
