Shirley Who? - Bay Area Photography, San Jose

I've been lucky to photograph some awesome kiddos in the past. All gorgeous in their own ways. But I gotta say, this little one from this morning....just takes my breath away. Such a beautiful girl....in that classic Shirley Temple way. You may remember seeing her on this blog about 6 months ago. I think it was in January when I photographed her along with 4 of her best girlfriends. It was toddler madness....with lots of pink tutus and fluffy things.

Anyway, this morning we got together with J, her mommy L and daddy A at the beautiful Gamble Gardens. The occasion was J's 3rd birthday! 3 Yr olds are so full of personality...attitude...charm...and ENERGY. J was all over the place, running, jumping, twirling, etc. But in between all the movement, I got some of my favorite shots EVER.

L&A here is your sneak peek! We had so much fun with you this morning...thank you :)

Towards the end of the session....starting to loose steam...which is good for me...moments of stillness


I tried to convince mommy to get this kid into some sort of modeling....this is why


I fell in love with this shot as soon as I clicked the shutter!


I loved L's dress! Especially that awesome yellow bow...


Yes, the classic V&J shot! Works like a charm...every time




So, when I asked L if there was one shot she wanted to make sure we got..what would it be?...Her answer was "A shot where all 3 of us are looking in the same direction..smiling"..Well, J sure did make us work for it...but I'd say we got the money shot


There are so many more I want to share...I probably will post a few more over the next wk :)
