baby | todd + owen

It is a joy to see each one of the children we photograph grow up right before our cameras.  And sometimes we wished we got to see them more often than once for their annual holiday family session. Owen and Todd have grown up so fast since we last saw them. Seeing Todd outrun his parents and Owen now stumbling around like a little penguin was a reminder of just how fast the time flies.

The part I always look forward to most is getting a hug from the kids at the end of the day 🙂

These two were such dolls. I could immediately see the two were complete opposites when I started interacting with them. Riley is the more rambunctious one while Emma is a little more reserved but quite curious. Emma is about two seconds younger than Riley. And it takes about two seconds for Riley to fall sound asleep… as she did towards the end of the session… facedown. Check out these two cuties!

As if things aren’t already exciting enough around the studio… we get even more excited. Recently, we got the opportunity to meet the delightful Yu family and their two probably future heart-breaking heart-throb sons, Marcos and Luca 😉  Check them out and see if you can stop from melting!

It was sooooo good to see these boys again! Oz is already going to be charmer and Zander is just too adorable! It was only 6 months since we last saw the boys and now Zander is turning one!

Big brother Oz walking baby Zander around the field of flowers was to melt for. They were both all giggles!ox5 ox6 ox7ox10 ox11 ox12 ox14 ox21 ox22 ox23 ox24 ox25 ox16 ox27 ox17 ox18 ox31 ox32 ox33 ox34 ox35 ox19 ox29 ox20Anddd….. That’s a wrap. Zander finally ran out of fuel after a day of eating flowers, running up hillsides, and cupcake smashing 🙂

The last time we saw Kenzo, he was only a few months and now he’s turning a whole year old! He’s grown so fast and he still has his little quirks we noticed from our first session, like grabbing his feet and legs. Our session was at Baker beach and although it was a little windy, Kenzo was a trooper and still managed to squeeze out some giggles! He’s such a chub-ball and we can’t wait to see him again!

This is probably our favorite and most endearing shot from the session. Nolan is definite a role model big brother at the age of seven!i4 i5 i6 i7 i8 i9

Nolan looks entranced with the landscape of Byxbee park in the background 😛
