Here's a wonderful family of five, I had the opportunity to photograph in the Berkeley Botanical gardens. I know that mom's always worry their kids aren't behaving or smiling when you want them too, but in reality, everything falls into place. Kids are great. Just need to let them set the pace sometimes and the the best shots just come. Thanks to Rebecca, Patrick, Syd, Theo and Oliver!











Enjoy the slideshow!

I've been very lucky lately with all the wonderful families I've photographed. Everyone is just beautiful. This one especially. Two mommas and two kids make this a wonderful family. I was blessed to have the opportunity to capture their adoption day. I've never been to an actual adoption and I have to say it was as special. As special as the day I had my own kids. You could feel the love from all the families there. Each one lined up, waiting their turns to become a family in the eyes of the court.



Congratulations to Mary, Martha, Olivia and Carter!!

Looks like we're in Tahoe, but we're in Oakland! Wow, it's been forever since we seen snow like this. I remember is happening once when I was little. Now my kids had a great morning with the snow! We were only a little late for school:)
