walnut creek, ca newborn photography: 5 days new

maddie was 5 days new when i was lucky enough to be in town to photograph her. on a dark and stormy day (no really, like record breaking rainfall for the area), i drove up to her mama and daddy's home in walnut creek to meet the gorgeous new little angel. 

it was this day also, that she chose to be the most awake and alert that she had been in her short little life! while this makes it difficult to capture the posed images when babies are awake, i adore the family photos of them interacting together. 

welcome to the world maddie! i can't wait to watch you grow! 

 

san jose family photography: brooklynn has arrived!

i was blessed to be in town the weekend that brooklynn was born. when i got the text, i couldn't wait to head over to the hospital and see her in all her newborn glory! 

after a full day of shooting other sessions, i wondered around the hospital, trying desperately to find where my dear friend was roomed. after asking the hospital staff THREE different times, and being sent to THREE different rooms (sorry to the other families who i walked in on! i should have handed them my cards!) i finally found them! 

a couple weeks later, i was back up, and ready to shoot the new family of four! 

we had to get creative to get peyton's attention this afternoon. nothing better than a ladder for the lil man to climb!  

welcome to the world brooklynn! your auntie kym loves you! 

san jose newborn photography: gorgeous gabriela

i love entering a home, and feeling the happiness a new baby brings with her. 

even when, for some strange reason, she chose that day to be the crankiest she had been in her 12 days of living! 

gabriela didn't want to be posed with props or laying by herself for too long. she was happiest in mama and daddy's arms, so that is where we let her be. 

a big congrats to the new happy family! i hope you enjoy many afternoons swinging on the hammock together! 

xoxo
