The cutest baby!

OK maybe I am a little biased, but you have to admit she is pretty cute! Our little baby is a little over 7 months old now and is getting so much more playful now. She loves to play with just about anything she can get her hands on and does really love this excersaucer. Here is just a little video clip of her the other day:

St. Claire Hotel wedding

We had such a wonderful wedding awhile back at the St. Claire hotel downtown San Jose and I never had time to post more than just a few images. Such a great bride and groom, they were so cute together and just great to work with. Every time I looked over at the bride during the day she was just glowing and always had such a awesome big smile on her face! The St. Claire was a perfect venue for their wedding, it was classic and elegant and was such an intimate day with their family and friends. Here are some of my favorite images from the day:

San Jose Lifestyle Portraits

We just finished up our new site for Lifestyle portraits! Most of our clients know us for our wedding photography but we also do portrait work, its just not your typical family portrait session or studio based session. We take on the same approach that we do with our weddings for families and capture you and your family in a natural setting that really tells a story about your family. We believe that a great portrait should show more than just what you and your family look like… a true portrait should show what your family is all about. It can be your family snuggled up on the couch with popcorn watching a movie or running around at a park; our lifestyle photography strives to capture your family in a natural setting. That way you have portraits that really show who you are and tell a story of your family at a given point in time.

We forgot to include one of Joeys weddings from 2008 in our highlight slideshow (sorry Sis). My sister was married last year and her images were on my personal computer not my work machine so I forgot to add her wedding to the show. Here is the final 2008 show with everyone!

A few more from our last wedding at the Ranch

Here are a few more shots from Ignacio and Louisanas wedding. The had a beautiful ceremony at St. Joseph’s church downtown San Jose and then a reception at the Ranch Golf Club. The lighting at the end of the day was just amazing and we were able to create some awesome shots of the two of them and a few fun images of the bridal party. Here are a couple more from their day. We also finished the layout from their album recently and the album turned out so great, it really tells the story of the day well. I’ll try and post some layouts from the album soon!
