The Three Amigos. Fresno Child Photography

These siblings are some of the most active I have ever attempted to photograph. To get one image of all three of them together was virtually impossible, but we did it! Little sister, at only a year old, was the one who captured the majority of my camera's gaze. She is just so cute, my camera could not look away!

Two Charmers. Fresno Child Portraits

This brother and sister team definitely had me earn my keep during their session. It was all worth it as we were still able to capture some wonderful images of this precious part of their childhood. Mom, I had a wonderful time with you and your family and especially enjoyed our chat afterward.

Mr. Personality. Fresno Child Photography

This expressive 3 year old kept me entertained during the entire session. All the faces he had were so full of emotion. Even his serious faces have me fascinated. Thanks for an afternoon full of fun!

Color Color Everywhere! Fresno Family Photographs

I may sound like I am repeating myself, but here is another big Sister I connected with during an earlier session. My job is wonderful in so many ways... Oftentimes I walk into a house of a new client and leave the session with new friends. This family is a great example of this happening. These 'former' clients are now good friends of mine. I have stopped by their house to visit a couple of times to play with the girls and I am planning on doing more of that.

Also, to my surprise, mom convinced my husband to be her new morning running partner!?! My husband was so inspired by the fact he will have a running partner that he took off at 11:30 pm yesterday evening, in the rain, to run 4 miles (he said he needs to start working up to their early morning jogs). Thanks mom for the inspiration, my husband is going to be even more good looking after you get finished working him out! ;)

Mom did a great job choosing the most darling outfits for the girls, and the colors look marvelous against the natural backgrounds of the park. I am in LOVE with that second photo of baby in the fall leaves. Her expression is priceless and did I mention how great the colors look?

Having Fun with Alex and his Little Sis.

I first entered this family's life when their baby was only 4 days old back in April. Fast forward 6 months and she is sitting and big brother is just as charming as ever. I did not have the kids pose at all in this first image, yet their hands seem to mirror each other.






Here is a cute little story: During our first session back in April, big brother Alex and I connected as I was taking photographs of his baby sister. He used a paper towel core as a camera to mimic me while we were taking pictures. Below is a photo Dad took of us together during that initial session.


Inspired by my experience with Alex at our first session, I gave him a mini toy camera as a thank you for being so good during Thursdays family session.

Mom emailed me later that evening and said, "I wanted to let you know Alex has not put down the little camera you gave him. He took it to preschool to show all his friends and came home with it - which is an amazing feat since daycare tends to be a black hole for items. As I type this he is laying on the couch watching tv and holding it!"

I spoke with mom today and he is still playing with it 3 days later. Mom, I think you have a budding photographer on your hands. I better watch out, Alex may be my new competition! :)

Best Friends. Fresno Child Photography

I have found that one of the most challenging ages to photograph is between 2 and 3 years old. It is at this time that the children are gaining both big opinions and independence. This new found attitude is not always willing to cooperate, especially with photographs. We were lucky enough to get this sister duo (2 and 3 years old) to cooperate for about the first 5 minutes, and I am sure that these initial images will be enduring childhood memories for the girls. Happy Birthday Ladies!

We've all been waiting for these beach photos! Family Photographer Fresno

You may recognize this beautiful family if you have been following my blog. I had the pleasure of photographing them once again, this time at the beach. The images from our day together turned out fabulous! I especially LOVE the sunset silhouettes we were able to capture. Here is a sampling of what we accomplished.

These images look so beautiful and classic "aged".

Family-O-Fun. Fresno Family and Child photography

Q: What do you get when you cross a wacky dad who will do anything to get a laugh, an observant 4 month old, an active 18 month old, a 3 year old with her OWN ideas, and a mother who adores the whole bunch?

A: A laugh filled afternoon with the "Family-O-Fun" full of wonderful candid photographs. Thanks for a great day everyone!

2 beautiful sisters

Today I had the opportunity to make new friends at another one of my sessions. I spent the day with 3 beautiful ladies... mom, 3 year old big sister, and almost 2 month old little sister. We played, talked, ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and took pictures of the girl's "life" in action. With the family living in the same neighborhood I just moved to, I know we will be seeing each other again and again.

Mom, its going to be hard to choose which photographs to print... they are all so wonderful that I am even having a hard time narrowing them down! Here are some of my initial favorites from our day together, I got carried away, I know... but they are all so precious. Enjoy

Peek-A-Boo!

I am fully moved into our new home and playing catch up before I am off to jury duty tomorrow morning. For many of you that have been so patient during my transition, your wait is almost over, I have a large group of orders that will be arriving this week.

It is the second time I have photographed this little man. I am once again amazed by those eye lashes of his! What a fun image of him playing peek a boo with his "best friend".

waiting for little sister

Playful Miss Victoria took over mom's maternity session stealing the spotlight many times. What's going to happen when little sister arrives?
