Way to go Alex!

wedding | rachael + goro

When Goro had contacted us, we had no idea he was a wonderfully talented animator for Dreamworks, so once we found out, we were quite flattered to be chosen to capture their special day 🙂 We had a great time with Goro and Rachael and as the day went on, only giggles progressed from both parties.

Rachael’s dress romanced the Napa backdrop perfectly!

Goro looking quite suave in this photo. We discovered early in the day that he could speak five different languages on top of being crazy artistic. Luckily, one of our own, Celeste, was able to keep up in multi-language conversation 😛

It was so adorable how exuberantly ecstatic Goro is!
Him and Rachael had such great energy 🙂

We saw this little guy on our last stop for photos. This little fellow definitely upped the game on puppy dog eyes 🙂

In case you were wondering, below are just some of our favorite pieces from Goro’s own animation archives – they will just make you smile 🙂

This past weekend could not keep smiles off my face 🙂 And the reason being is that when babies are asleep, near deep sleep, you can almost pose them anyway you want. Nathaniel was the first and only baby this entire year out of all our sessions who slept so soundly we were able to prop him in the cutest way possible.
When we arrived Nathaniel was still awake, but his beautiful mother was in the process of putting him to sleep.
Food coma is the best for babies 🙂 And let the fun begin 😉
And the money shot 🙂 This was the one photo that was brighter than sunshine for us! (Of course we had to put glasses on him!)

Ahh! This was such a fun family session 🙂 Big brother Jack was quite a character and absolutely not camera shy whatsoever!

Little brother was just too cute as well!

We love the Biala family! It is so nice to hear a couple who has been together for over a decade and have fostered such an adorable family!

Time for mom and dad now!

engagement | meredith + kyle

 

Congratulations to Meredith and Kyle on their engagement! After hearing that they had heard of us through at least three of our current clients, it was great to finally meet them last week. Goes to show that word of mouth is quite wonderful! We can’t wait to be their for their big day 🙂

 

portrait | basaca family

It was so nice to see the Basaca family again for their holiday portraits! Last time we met up, Joaquin was just a newborn and now he’s growing up to be a handsome little man 🙂

Isabella, his big sister, is growing up just as fast.

Nothing like one big happy family 🙂

portrait | oz + xander

So excited to share this family session with everyone! The two boys, Oz and Xander are just too cute for their own good!

Throughout the session, we kept getting stopped by tourists and passerbys commenting on how adorable the boys were!

The last time we met Xander he was just a newborn and it’s safe to say that Oz has now graduated from blueberries to ice cream pops 😛

Here’s a cute outtake just for giggles:

Can’t wait to see the Bell family next time… these boys will have already stolen some hearts by then 🙂

wedding | wendy + tony

We absolutely adored this laid back wedding for Wendy and Tony! The two are absolutely adorable and charming, not to mention we got to work with some of our favorite people!

Jackie Tran of Joli de Jackie is responsible for the beautiful hair and makeup. The talented Nicole Ha did the gorgeous bouquet and purple and grey theme florals for the wedding. And Charmed Events LLC completely transform Zen Restaurant in Millbrae into a romantic setting for the big day! We can’t wait to share more photos!
