   Entertaining, Sweet and SillyBefore a session, families fill out a questionnaire that helps me understand and express their families' unique qualities. They are definitely entertaining, sweet and silly, the 3 adjectives Mom chose.
They wanted to have a nice portrait for their wall and have digital files so they could make their holiday card. Looks like they are ready for the party! See the video from this session.
Kimaya and her family wanted images to celebrate her accomplishments, for student ID and for her LinkedIn profile. A head shot session was perfect to get all these images done at once. It is also nice for her parents to have a beautiful photo to look at while she is away. We went to Niles, in Fremont.
Kimaya is a lovely, accomplished young woman on her way to college, she is sprouting wings and moving across the country. She is Miss California State and having a picture to mark this achievement and all the hard work that went into it is a tangible way to mark the occasion. Congratulations!  One of the pleasures of having children is seeing how they grow and change. And boy do they change! Hiring a professional photographer to document this growth will be a gift to them and you in later years.
This little girl gets her photograph done around her birthday every year. Get started today! Call or email to inquire about a session. Working with different professionals is one of the things I love about my job photographing people. I get to understand a portion of someones work world, make sense of it, understand their perspective and figure out how I can communicate my understanding of their contribution through location, lighting and posing.
Alexandra is an architect. She is the first stop when a client is thinking of investing a significant portion of their income into a home. I asked her how she would describe her favorite client and that led to a story about how she helped a client to discover how a water element in their home would contribute to a peaceful surrounding, and how reflections in water brought inner reflection and a space for contemplation. I was able to weave this reflective element into her head shot. My location was downtown Niles in Fremont, one of my favorite places to photograph for its many walls, colors and unique architecture.  Thank you to all my customers past and present for making it possible for me to support my family and follow my dreams!
 I read a blog post from Rachel Macy Stafford author and creator of Hands Free Mama. She used the analogy of insects to compare ways of being in the world. It highlighted how some children are like fireflies, they shine quietly from within. It really touched me. I have one of those children, quiet, introspective, and thoughtful. While I do love the butterfly children of the world, it is important to recognize the quieter ones and see their gifts. There is space for everyone.
 As I raise my son, I find myself reviewing a lot of the ways I was raised. One thing that I would have liked was to be told what was precious about me.
In my latest offering I give parents and children this gift of connection. Parents are invited to say what they treasure about their children and pair this quote with their favorite images from their portrait session. |
