The Schumann family came to us as a referral from my friend, Heather Whiting. What a sweet family. I loved that they included their grandparents in the shoot!
For their session, they were hoping to not only get beautiful family portraits for their holiday card, but they wanted more lifestyle photography as well. After the portraits, we played ball as well as piano, and those are some of my favorite shots of the day!













Joy has known the Stuart Family for a long time. This past Fall, we were happy to shoot a Mini-Session at their Alamo home just to get a few great shots of them together for their holiday cards.




One of my favorite things about being a photographer is watching the families that I photograph grow. I have been photographing Domenique & David since their gorgeous Harvest Inn wedding in Napa in 2007. We first photographed their cute baby, Lucy, back in 2008 in San Francisco at Cavallo Point, and then again in 2009 at our local Montclair Park. In 2010, they took advantage of the Mini-Portrait Session and had a quick shoot in our studio. These are a few favorites!
