A Gift for the Mommies | Mommy and Me Mini Sessions | San Jose Family Photographer

With Mother’s Day approaching, I figured this would be something just perfect out there for a lot of mommies. And I have to say that this is something that is near and dear to my heart.

Getting mom in front of the camera. It can be difficult. We’ve got all the excuses in the world. My hair doesn’t look good. I didn’t do my makeup today. I’m just not photogenic. Or…they might be the one who is always behind the camera. This needs to change.

Moms NEED to get in front of the camera some times! Their children will want to see pictures of them with their mommy when they were little tykes. And many will CHERISH those images. I know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at old photos of me from when I was a kid…driving around my power wheels while my parents are watching in the background. Sitting in my dad’s lap with ginormous 1980 earphones on my tiny toddler head, listening to music. Snuggling with my mom on Christmas morning. Those photos mean a lot to me and I’m so glad to have them. I want to challenge all the moms out there to get in front of the camera. Take pictures with your children. Even with no makeup and your hair all a mess. Your children don’t see that messy hair…all they see is their beautiful mom that they love. So get in front of that camera!

With this being such a soft spot for me, I want to offer mommy and me mini sessions for all the mommies out there. These are sessions for moms and their children (sorry dads…maybe we’ll do something for Father’s Day!). I want you to have these photos to share with your children. And your children, I can almost guarantee, would love for you to have these photos too. But even if you are unable to do a portrait session, I still want all the moms out there to get in front of the camera and take pictures with their kids…even if it is a cell phone picture! Just be in the picture with the most important little loves of your life!

Lilly | 2.5 Years Old | San Jose Children’s Photographer

The spring is always full of photo sessions for me and my kids.  We’ve got Easter pictures, Spring Pictures, and Lilly is half way to her next birthday in April…so that means 18 month portraits, 2.5 year portraits, etc.  With all these shoots, I am looking all over San Jose and the bay area for some new gorgeous locations to photograph.  Well, my husband and I found this great little pocket and we took Lilly their for her 2.5 year portrait session.

Lilly was loving this location as well..she was your typical 2 year old, running around, smelling the flowers, picking the flowers, picking up sticks and rocks and even telling me about the great big yellow dragon in the sky!  2 year olds..so imaginative and I love it!  And I just have to say, I love your typical posed portrait but I also love the images where Lilly is just being Lilly…being herself…wondering around in the field of flowers with no attention being paid to anything other than what she is focused on.:)
