When I first moved to the Bay Area, Laurie is the first person I met and the first person I was able to call a friend. Laurie and her husband Chris have been waiting for this baby for quite some time and I am beyond excited for them and feel so blessed to be able to give them this gift of photos so they can cherish every second because as they say.. time moves faster when you have children.

Yesterday I woke up with a plan, I was taking the kids to school, editing until 3pm, and then going to shoot a maternity session for PJ .
Boy did plans change.
I noticed as I sat down at my desk that I had a couple of texts, one said, 11:35pm “Headed to the Hospital to get checked… think my water just broke!” I was wracking my brain, thinking of who it could be because I don’t have any newborns due until the end of December, and then found out it was PJ..
I instantly felt excited and bad at the same time, PJ was super excited about her maternity session and now she was going to miss it. I Decided that, that wasn’t an option and (thankfully) having the day almost free I suggested that maybe a birth session was in order because, darn it, we were going to shoot today.
PJ had been in labor since midnight so I rushed over to the hospital hoping not to miss the good parts. PJ was tired but excited, she’s been waiting for this baby for quite some time. I have never seen someone smile so much through delivery… that could have been from the epidural though.
Every time I photograph a birth I am amazed and fascinated. We women are amazing, growing perfect little people in our bellies. PJ was amazing through the entire thing, she kept rubbing her belly saying, “Remember what we talked about… shoot right on out like a Canon.” and at 12:13pm, Canon Morgan was born on his daddies birthday, December 1st, 2010, welcome to the world little man.

They’re rambunctious, and a little crazy, but they’re mine. The Brocious family has been with me for the last two years, every two months. I have documented Ava and Ashton’s growth as well as the entire family and now I claim them as my own, I just love them.
Ashton is 9 months, NO! 10 months now! In February I will go to San Diego to photograph his first birthday session and it feels way too soon. Luckily, there will be another fabulous 1st birthday party and how Orousha will out do herself once again is beyond me but I look forward to it.
Running a little behind on my blogging, this is from last months Brocious shoot.

One day after the San Francisco Giants won the world series I received a call from Gyselle, who wanted to book a baby session before leaving the Bay Area amd moving back to the Caribbean because the baseball season is over. Her husband Hensley is the batting coach for the SF Giants. It was so cool being in the city that close to the Giants big win, everyone walking proud in their giants gear. GO GIANTS!
Baby Elijah was such a ham and I had a great time shooting him
During games —- wears these cool headphones mom thought it would be cute to photograph it and she was right, it’s darn adorable..

I adore this family this would be my 3rd time shooting them and this time baby Ren was walking… well not walking… RUNNING! He was faster than me even and I pride myself in my kid wrangling abilities. Jennifer, Brian, and Ren it was so much fun hanging out with you guys it made my wait in the airport shorter because I got to sort through all of your adorable photos. Enjoy your sneak!
