Mommy and Me {sunset photography, Mommy and Me photos, Mommy and me sunset, sonoma county family photographer}

I got home tonight from my Mommy and Me shoot with Mauri and Aidan and couldn't wait to upload the images. As I was going through them I was loving so many of them. This Mommy and son duo were just too cute for words! But I fell in love with a few images that I just had to post! So I skipped reading the book I got in the mail today by my favorite author so I could just post a few of my favorites! Keep in mind, besides converting a few to black and white these are straight out of the camera and still need some general touch ups but thought I would share them anyways!!

I fell in love with these 2 right away. Only because I think as a Mother its these two little things that get me every time. When your child doesn't just hold your hand because you tell them to but they reach their other hand over to hold on tighter just to be sure they have a good hold of you and then they just look up at you. It melts your heart. And then my other favorite is when they just have to flop their whole arm over your head so they can pull your face closer to them. It is just the best feeling in the world

This one made me laugh! I was asking Aidan to give me his best silly face, then his best mad face, and then I asked him to give me the face he gives to his girl friend and he gives me this wink! OOOh what a little lady killer!!!!


Mauri and Aidan were such troopers they climbed up a little hill and hung out with me until the sunset so I could try my hand at some silhouette pictures. Thanks to some great tips from a friend, Amy Salessi Photography and my beautiful assistant Ayrjia I was able to get some great shots! I love photography, its competitive but more than that is collaborative! It's artistic and creative. I wouldn't be where I am with my skill if it wasn't for my photography friends and their encouraging words and helpful tips!
