Keeping a secret is really hard for some people. Especially for first time mothers & aunts & everyone that knew. This little cutie’s mom & aunt blew it.
This was a very special infant session. It included four generations of women!
Mom called me to ask me to schedule a top secret photo session for her adorable 2 month old and specifically requested I dion’t give sneak peeks, to keep it a surprise. Well on Monday before Father’s day I happen to bump into the dad on the train. I casually am in the midst of conversation when he says ” we put in our order already” . DEER IN HEADLIGHTS LOOK from me…. Ummm so I keep chatting and he casually says oh I laready know about the surprise.
Happy father’s day!

Kim contacted me to ask if I would be available to document their very secret wedding. I of course was very intrigued. Were their family rivals (Romeo & Juliet)? Had one of them been promised to another family at birth? Was he being deployed in the military? So many possibilities.
The truth was they were eloping to San Francisco just to be romantic. Awwwww! and will most likely have a big family wedding in December. I think it’s the best idea ever, especially with as much fun as the first one was. 
After the ceremony we headed over to the beach. Here is just one image.
This is just the sneak peek – lots more images and a slideshow to come….

They say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. NOT so for this couple. Salina was in Vegas for a girls trip from California. Adam was there on a boys trip from New York!! They met and Salina said they hung out till way late having instantly bonded. Adam knew he couldn’t be apart from her and moved across the country to be with her. (awwwwwww!) Adam’s family is still back East and will be flying in for this event along with his boys! I look forward to meeting everyone. And when they see how nice the weather is here (please weather act right) they might even move here!!
A few weeks ago I gave you guys a little teaser to this engagement session.. well here is the full session!
It was a very cold day in San Francisco despite it being about 100 degrees in San Jose. The drastic weather change caused for us to truly appreciate all the hard work models put in, especially when they are required to shoot in bikinis in beautiful and crazy locations such as Alaska. Here is an attempt of modeling and not looking cold.
The little one wasn’t too happy about the weather (nor the camera). How cute is she??? I know she will make an adorable flower girl and give me a great work out, because I’ll have to chase her around!
I love this family portrait of all of them.
Salina & Adam are a super fun couple they joked around throughout the whole session. I’m sure their marriage will be full of love, laughter & fun.
I don’t think they expected to get in the cold ocean & get wet but with me you never know what’s going to happen!
Salina might kill me (after the wedding) for posting this but I thought it was cute. I had asked Adam to approach and kiss Salina in a very sexy- seductive fashion. UM and this is what happened.
I can’t wait until the wedding! It’s going to be so much fun! Wait till you see Salina’s dress!!! I haven’t seen it nor pictures but she’s described bits and pieces and I’m soo excited!! And seriously as cute as this couple is they could get married in pajamas!!
I leave you with one last image. A very typical San Francisco foggy day with the Golden Gate bridge playing Peek A Boo!

Time flies! I remember when I first met this little angels parents. And the first time I met him! Now 6 months later I almost didn’t recognize him! He’s gotten so big.
I love this little baby he is the cutest , best, happiest baby!! At the end of the session I wanted to take him home and keep him forever, unfortunately Veronica & Jose wouldn’t let me take him- but I did get to go home with all these great pictures!! Maybe you can pick a favorite- because I couldn’t.
The weather has been so weird one day it’s super hot the next day it’s super cold. Due to weather we had re-scheduled his 6 month session and upon arriving I was worried it might still be too cold. However the weather & photo gods agreed and played nice. The early evening turned out to be nice not too hot, not too cold just right!
I loved this session because along with the parents I got to share a few “baby’s firsts”.
First visit to the merry-go-round.
First story time on a park bench by the merry go round of his favorite book: What did baby do?
and I believe even first visit to the swing set!! Even though he didn’t get a push on the swing set– maybe we’ll do that on his first birthday!!
What “we” did do was play Peek a Boo! Seriously this was my favorite part of the session!
Well that’s it! How cute is he?? Were you able to pick just one favorite? I’ld love to hear which one it was you can tell me in the comments section. Veronica & Jose – Thank you so much for sharing your precious little angel with me!
One final one- how cute is his expression in this?
