Xander: San Jose Baby Photography

Baby Xander is finally here! We are so happy for him and his parents. I think that his yia-yia (Greek for grandma) is the most excited of all! Mr. Alexander James is just too sweet and adorable. We caught some quick picks while visiting at their home.

His yia-yia's favorite spot, his swirl!

Ah, a little rascal in training!

The Steenhausens: San Jose Family Photography

A good family friend of mine asked me to come and take a few shots of her beautiful family. Her grandchildren are gorgeous, and multiplying quickly. In fact, she is expecting another next week. She is trying to keep up with the family photos, but more keep coming! Here are the shots we got of her whole crew. We hope to meet the new addition soon.

These girls are SO cute and fun!

The newest addition was also baptized the day after our shoot, so I stopped by to grab a few more shots.

These are the handmade booties that her grandmother wore.

So sweet.

Baby Maja - Take One: San Jose Baby Photography

This is just part one of Maja's baby portraits. She was having a pretty rough day - camera shy, I guess. Magdalena did her maternity session with us before her little darling was born, and we should be taking some more pictures soon. Even though Maja was a bit cranky, we still got some cute shots.

Her daddy loves her toes!

What a cute little package!

Why so frowny?

Ah, sleepy.

We can't wait to see Maja again soon!

Emma & Gerardo Tie the Knot: Livermore Wedding Photography

Emma and Gerardo had a fantastic wedding. The food was great and the celebration with family and friends was amazing. The two were married at Wente Vineyards in Livermore. The first shot I have to show off is of Emma peering through one of the gorgeous windows at the Wente house. The whole evening was a blast, and I am honored that Emma and Gerardo invited me not only as their photographer, but also as a guest!

The Kiss!


The sexy garter toss.

Yummy... mmm

Thanks again to Emma and Gerardo, it was beautiful!

more blogging to come...
