Baby Camryn | San Diego maternity and newborn photographer

I just love it when clients hire me for both their maternity and newborn sessions! I get to see them on both sides of the amazing experience of becoming a parent (if it's their 1st). Such a special time to document! You also receive a discount if you book both so it's a win/win. These guys just welcomed baby Camryn into their lives. Here are some shots from their maternity session and scroll down for some cutie newborn photos...

 

2013 YEAR IN REVIEW

As I reflect back on this past year I feel so grateful for the opportunity I have as an artist and business owner to connect with people and live my passion. This year my portrait business has really grown... thanks to the continued support and referrals from my awesome clients! I wanted to share with you a sample of the moments I captured in 2013. Eventually I will catch up to blogging most of these sessions (hellooooo new years resolution) but I wanted to make sure to give a big shout out to my past portrait clients and a huge THANK YOU for making 2013 a year to remember!!

So here goes my....

Fontan family | West Marin portrait photographer

I love these guys! During my trip to the Bay Area earlier this month I had the chance to catch up with old friends and photograph the 2 new additions to their family. Light was perfect... it was sunny (gasp, for anyone that's familiar with summers in West Marin this is very unusual) and the backdrop was absolutely amazing. My home is a beautiful place. Always great to see the Fontans. There is a lot of love here...

 

 

 

4th of July shoot

So I haven't posted anything personal in awhile. It's a busy life as a mom, wife and professional photographer. Our son Reed has grown into toddlerhood and is looking more and more like a little boy each day. He is talking up a storm and makes us laugh with his cute sense of humor. This is a fun age and also a challenge as we approach the "terrible twos" (ahhhhh) But it is amazing to see him growing into his own self. Last week we traveled to Marin county (specifically Bolinas, CA) to visit his grandparents and my home town. I hardly ever take photos on vacation, weird right, but when I'm on vacay I like to leave the camera & the phone at home and enjoy the moment. But I could not resist taking some portraits of Reed in his 4th of July outfit, a vintage suit that his grandmother found in Nebraska. We headed down to our friend's organic farm which provided the perfect backdrop for this classic Americana style shoot.

Hope you enjoy.  - G
