Sweet as PIE – Baby Wyatt

The evening I first met Kelleigh and her mom about Kelleigh and Adams wedding was such a beautiful evening.  We sipped on our wine and got to know each other.  I remember leaving that evening feeling like Kelleigh and I had so much in common, how could our paths have not crossed before.  I left that meeting hoping that I would get to photograph her Tahoe wedding.  I felt like she was a long lost sister or something.  And, sure enough, I did get to photograph her georgeous wedding!  It was one of the most beautiful evenings, even with the unexpected summer Tahoe rain.  The lake was beautiful that day, and into the evening everything was so great.  The love between everyone that was there was felt, warming the evening and making the rain seem like it was all in the plans.  It was an amazing night.

Fast forward to a few months back and imagine my delight to get the email … “Penny we would like you to photograph our baby boy!”  I squeeled with joy.  In fact I’m sure my studio neighbors must hear lots of “awesome” , “oh my goodness”, “I’m so stinking excited”, “hot dog” and “oh I can’t wait” from the walls that separate our suites often … they must think I’m crazy!!  But, honestly I get so excited to be able to capture such precious moments.

So, the day came I got to meet Wyatt, and let me tell you he is sweet as pie!  He is so mellow, calm and observant.  His big beautiful eyes just grab you and hold your attention.  He is a LOVE!  It was so great getting to capture their love for each other … and of coarse his sweet baby feet!  I have to be honest the photo where he is eyeing moms toes … we were giggling like school girls.  So, enjoy some of my favorites below …


 

Nummy numm, numm … you gotta love your thumb!!  :-)  So cute!

Sweet Kai

I’ve been meaning to share these for way too long!  This family brings smiles ear to ear for me!  They make me feel loved, valued, cherished, like part of their own family AND like a ROCK STAR!!  And they really are the ROCK STARS.  They warm my heart like the memory of the waking up in the morning to the smell of my grandmothers wood burning stove, one of my most cherished memories as a child!  They are really really special to me, but you probably got that by now.

It’s not only an honor to photograph someones wedding, but to be part of capturing their lives as they continue their journey is something that when I became a photographer I hadn’t really thought about how meaningful that would be to me.  To be called Auntie Penny … ah man … that is the BEST!   Soooooo, I must share a few of my favorites from my sweet sweet friends session … Thank you guys so very much for including me in your lives!  I LOVE YOU!

Saratoga Maternity Photos – Expecting Grace

Last weekend I had the pleasure and honor of photographing quite possibly two of my most favorite people, Erin and Dante, for their maternity shoot!  They recently moved to Saratoga, my new favorite little town!!  Seriously, between Saratoga and Los Gatos a girl could go crazy with so many great places to walk, shop, eat and snap away!  I had such a great afternoon with these two and I totally can not wait for Miss. Grace to come into the world so I can snap away at her!!  Here are some of my favorites from our session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exciting Annoucement …

So a couple of weeks ago I got to do a secret photo shoot!  Can I just say I LOVE secret squirrel missions!  They are so stinkin’ fun!  I love a surprise and especially a good one!

My friends are expecting a new baby and they needed to announce it to their family and wanted to do it a fun and unique way … sign me up!!!  So we met at the park to shoot the images and then they had plans to give the framed photo to their moms … here are some of the images  AND  even a clip of of the announcement … I’m not gonna lie … the clip made me cry happy tears!  So excited for my friends and their beautiful family.
