A Nice Afternoon at Cuesta (Mountain View, CA)

I had a wonderful time with the extended Kelly family at Cuesta Park (with grandpa and grandma visiting from Ireland!) It was a warm, relaxing afternoon, and climbing trees was fun! The kids  also brought their bikes for the rolling landscape of Cuesta, which is one of the more attractive features of the park, and kids always love the speed and the challenge up and down the slopes. I also got to meet our furry friend Java too!

A Lovely Family Time at Cuesta (Mountain View, CA)

One of the things I appreciate most about family and kids photo session is to capture the natural, genuine and sweet emotions among the family, and the little adorable details of the kids at the time, like the missing front teeth, the braces, pimples, freckles etc. etc. Those of us with kids usually feel one way or another how time flies by so quickly, and the kids almost seem to be growing up too fast without us paying enough attention or spending enough time with them, and times we wished we could remember more. So having these photo sessions not only allow the whole family enjoy some quality time, but also allow me to freeze these precious moments into images. And it feels really good to be doing that. 

On this day, I had a great photo session with Kristi, John and their three energetic girls at Cuesta Park, and we captured a lot of beautiful sisters affectionate and fun moments and more!

One Big Family! (Mountain View, CA)

It was a happy family union for Karen and Larry with their children and grandchildren. Before Karen left the bay area, they had a photo session at Cuesta Park. The weather was perfect, not too hot, and we had a nice time in the park. It warmed my heart to see the happy faces of the three generations. Such wonderful and precious moments!  

Mommy, is little sister hiding in your tummy: Second maternity session (Mountain View, CA)

Finally get to blog Claudia and Steve’s second maternity photo session! Their first child was already 3 then, and the family was eagerly welcoming their new addition. Little big brother was so excited to find out who’s hiding inside mommy’s tummy, and proudly showed me his scooter and jumping skills!

It's amazing and a blessing that I have been Claudia and Steve's photographer since their wedding. Witnessing these wonderful life events of their growing family is a beautiful thing. Here are the links of Claudia and Steve's all photo sessions with us:
