you may remember these lovely sisters from about a year ago. mom wanted updated portraits, and i was happy to hang out with them again! i had so much fun with these two girls last time – they were giggly, fun, silly…and not to mention, gorgeous! i loved capturing the bond they had with each other – it made me a wee bit jealous, since i’m an only child and i had always wanted a sister growing up. ah, sisterly love. it makes me smile

we headed out to the presidio and spent some time just walking around the area. i still love this spot so much!

silly girls…love it!

i had a fabulous time you girls – thanks! keep that sisterly bond strong for life!

what a cutie patootie maddy is. mom wanted fun and festive first birthday photos, complete with an adorable tutu and a party hat that lasted all of 2 minutes. we originally wanted to shoot somewhere with a carnival vibe, but we settled for the brazil room at tilden park in berkeley. the stone walls and greenery all around made for a pretty setting – in some of these shots with maddy in her tutu, the building looks almost like a fairy house!

anyhow. like i said earlier, you could not help but comment on how cute maddy is, especially with that birthday tutu of hers. mom also brought along a couple other adorable outfits, which made me super excited. i loved capturing her exploring her surroundings and just run around the area. so cute.

it was the perfect day weather-wise, and the light got lovely towards the end.

tons of faves here!

blowing kisses with mom…!

i looooove this headband!

what a gorgeous family!! thanks, guys!

stefan – first birthday session – san francisco child photographer

remember adorable stefan? he’s now a year old, and as adorable as ever! since the last time i saw him, he’s started walking and it’s become a challenge keeping up with him, but i guess that keeps me young. haha! he’s also completely adorable when he’s running around, so it’s all good

we did his first birthday photos at home and he really came alive in his everyday surroundings. it was fun to watch him run around the backyard and chase the dog around.

i had too much trouble narrowing down favorites, so i just gave up. lol

mom had some awesome ideas for styling the shoot, and one of them was getting some leaves to put on the ground to give the photos a fall-like feel…i also asked her to get some pumpkins to add to that autumn flavor. me likey

being adorable with his mama (who, by the way, is gorgeous!)

this one made me laugh:

i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE his shirt. isn’t it the cutest thing ever?!

we did a cake smash the cake was so fun and mom had the idea of surrounding it with a bunch of brightly colored silly bandz. i created the banner to add another bit of fun to the look as well!
