San Francisco Family Portrait Photographer, San Francisco lifestyle photographer -The Batalia Family

The Batalia Family just got these parakeets 🐦🐦 the day before I photographed them so they were the center of attention. I told Elena she was a brave mom as the bird seed fell all over the place more than once. And, I have been flipping out about cleaning the fish tank. 😬 We photographed most of these at their home in Seacliff as it was raining ☔️ but when we got a break we went into their backyard. Such an awesome family!

Petaluma Family Portrait Photographer -Petaluma Childrens and family Portrait Session- The Sarno Family

Usually to get kids to warm up I have to try to act silly to get them to open up… but the Sarno kids have more personality than you can imagine. These kids are hilarious.We had fun romping in the leaves and cracking up at each other. Love the Sarno family and wish them the best!!

Well, this family is just the cutest and I had fun getting some shots in their backyard with their cute doggie, Taxi.  What a great name.  I was amazed we found some leaves on the trees still and took advantage of golden hour.  Can’t wait to see some of these hung on their walls of their gorgeous home!

Petaluma Family and Children’s Photographer -The Reynolds Family Portrait Session

These faces! They are all so full of personality. Kingston, the little guy, wasn’t feeling it in the beginning so we all went and got a wicked slush 🍧or a Starbucks to let the sugar kick in. As you can see it did it’s job. Kinyatta is one of the most vivacious, cool and all encompassing love mommas I know and she gives everything her all. I loved photographing her and John and her tribe. Here’s to more sessions infused with sugar! 🍨

Family and Children’s Portrait Photographer -Petaluma, CA

To say I love 😍 this family is putting it mildly. O’Meara is the epitome of grace and beauty and her and Bill Cover‘s daughter’s reflect their kindness and radiance. We managed to laugh our way through this photo shoot capturing everyone’s personalities, get a headshot of O’Meara Cover, lifestyle photos and great family shots to be revealed after the holidays.

The energy level of the two of these kids is beyond any scope you can imagine.  Especially Jax.  He is truly remarkable and so full of personality that if I could bottle it I would be a billionaire.  Cutest family ever…just love Annie to pieces.

Look at this gorgeous family and I just love them to pieces!  The Deerings show up at my house on a rainy afternoon and we start off inside as it pours down on us.  Then there is a lapse in the downpour and we run around in the field behind mi case.  Much fun ensues with their new puppy, Ember!  Outdoor photography on a rainy day in Petaluma, CA is just good ole country living!

Marbin and Maria wanted to do a holiday portrait session and The Hotel Petaluma has the perfect backdrop for some holiday snow and Christmas decorations.  We had fun shooting on the Petaluma River as well….Petaluma has the best locations for portraits!
