Whether you are getting married, are already married, or are just dating, treat your sweatheart to a very special and meaningful Valentine's Day gift this year. It will cost you less than jewelry, about the same as a large bouquet of flowers, and will last a lifetime!

Just to clarify, your photo session does NOT have to take place ON Valentine's Day. It can take place on any date--all you would be purchasing is a gift certificate for the session to gift to your loved one.

Family Session with 8-Month Old Saskia (Redwood City)

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely 8-month old baby Saskia and her no less photogenic mom.

I loved the cute outfit that mom had picked out for baby Saskia. I normally don't think dresses work for babies, given that they are not walking yet and tend to use their dresses as a chew toy. But Saskia's sweater-dress really worked! As did her adorable little hat! :-)

We started our session inside by the window, but as the weather improved moved outside. While I am very happy with how all of our photos came out, I have to say, nothing can come close to shooting in natural light. (Is that a very cliche thing to say? Well, it is tried and true all the same!) The bright and saturated photos taken outdoors are my absolute favorite!
