Another great session with Laya - she is such a ham! She is 9 1/2 months and a member of our Oh Baby! Club, so I get to photograph her every few months in her first year to capture all of her stages. This little girl really loves the camera! This image really captured my heart today...
I encourage my clients to bring in fabrics for their fine art maternity portrait sessions that they find beautiful to make their session extra special and personal. Here are some of my recent favorites both with gorgeous fabrics from india...
Meet Miss Chloe - 9 days old and already a diva! We had so much fun with this little newborn girl, even though she did poop right as we took this image...
We had a great turn out for the Doumitt 2009 Model Search, and the sessions with the 10 to 20 year old teen models have now begun at our ultra cool urban location featuring grafitti, industrial elements and distressed backgrounds - all shot with natural light. With an urban skater / indie hip hop theme, here are a couple of pics from our first session yesterday - though I still have hundreds of images to develop...more to come...
Had a fun toddler portrait session with Kate exploring some newly found urban locations close to the studio. Here is a funky little video of some of the images...

Friday Morning - May 15th - Join us for some quick photo fun as we launch our first "Itty Bitty Session"
These sessions are 15 minutes of active, playful photography at cool locations near the studio. These sessions work a bit differently from our other sessions, as proofs will be posted online for one week for clients to view and place their orders.

The first session will be at a local train track near the studio (that is not functional) on Friday, May 15th, between 8:30am and 10:30am. To book your Itty Bitty Session - call the studio at 510-748-8959 or email the studio. Full fee of $125 is due at time of booking and is not refundable unless session is rained out.

I love location sessions with toddlers! Not only is natural light photography of children a fantastic way to capture their spirit, it also allows for movement, play and exploration. I recently had a very fun toddler photography session with Abigail at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. We played in the ferns and found some blowing flowers along the way - here are some of my favorites of Abigail and the blowing flower...
Maybe it is a trend, or maybe I am just lucky to be getting quite a few couples in the studio that have almost a foot and half separating them in height, with the guys around 6 ft 8 and the girls around 5 foot 3. This can make for quite a challenge posing the couple - but I try not to dwell on this pondering the potential challenge of birthing for the small woman. I find creative ways to minimize the height difference in the portraits - knowing that this couple likely has few flattering photos of the two of them taken by non-professionals. But I also like to slip a few in to document their height difference in a humorous and artistic way - so that they child has a record of this uncommon pairing. Here are a few from a recent session...
