Family Sessions

I recently took some family photos for local mom's group.  They were all first time parents and the babies were all around 5 months old and totally cute!  My husband and I are expecting our first child in October, so doing these family sessions were super special and even more meaningful to me because it is likely that this is the first time these first time families were having their photos taken together!  If you have been thinking about having family photos taken, send me an email at:  jaime@jaimelee-photography.com.  We can book a session this summer and early fall!

A brand new baby boy!

I had the honor of taking pictures of this lovely family when their first born was just a baby girl.   I was just beginning my photography career in San Francisco.  Cameron has recently become a big sister and she loves her new baby brother!  Kai was born only two weeks ago and he was patient enough to let us maneuver him and put him in scrunched up positions long enough to capture these moments.  He had cute hats to wear, cute onesies and even went without a diaper for several minutes with out any accidents!  It was only during the last portion of the shoot that he had some spit up, but that didn't stop him, nor his loving and proud parents to continue on with the shoot.  The only thing I wasn't able to capture, was an entire family photo with big sister Cameron (she was napping) and Rita, the family dog.  I will return and get a complete family photo.  :)

Congratulations to both of you, Tracey and Dave, on welcoming this sweet baby boy into your beautiful family!  Thank you for sharing your lives with me and letting me capture these precious moments.  Kai is only this small for short period of time and I'm thankful you booked your session to capture these moments you can enjoy forever...  I hear they grow up fast!

Joe and Natassia's Engagement Session

Yesterday, I had the honor of photographing this beautiful couple.  They both serve in the United States Air Force.  Joe's from Maryland and Natassia's from Texas.  They met each other through the USAF and fell in love.  He went to her work and surprised her with a surprise proposal and she thought he was totally joking, but it didn't take too long for her to realize that he was completely serious.  You'll have to see the ring he got her.  WOW!

When I first met the newly engaged couple at Baker Beach, I could tell right away that Joe was a bit nervous, not knowing if he was going to be "good" at having his pictures taken.  I just set some guidelines for the shoot: be playful, have conversations with one another, kiss when you want to, and HAVE FUN!  I advised them that at first that it might feel funny or awkward, but as the shoot progresses that everyone will be more comfortable.  Enjoy these images of this beautiful, totally in love couple! 

Thank you Jennifer and Jonathan for the wonderful referral!

Engagement Session with Elisabeth and Joe

Oh.... it's been too long since I last blogged.  I think I said that the last time.  But, I do have a good reason why.  However, I will spare you all the details and just say I'm thankful to be back to 100% health from two months ago!  With that said, I'll blog about a recent engagement session I shot for a very special and sweet couple.  Their names are Joe and Elisabeth.

 Elisabeth and I exchanged emails for a few months before the engagement session.  And over the last few months, for me, I felt like a friendship was forming.  We had talked on the phone once and then from there on out, it was pretty much all email correspondence.  We talked about what to wear, where we should meet for the engagement shoot, when we should do the shoot, etc.  We had planned for the shoot to originally take place in July, but that was right when I was feeling very sick and the dreaded fog was not just thick, it was very moist fog.  So, we decided it would be best to reschedule the shoot for the end of August once Elisabeth had come back from the East Coast from her summer Masters studies.  I'm so glad that we decided to reschedule because the weather was perfect!  We met at the Boat House at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park.  Stow Lake is the place where Joe proposed to Elisabeth and it was extra meaningful to have their engagement pictures taken there.  I'm so happy to have finally meet Elisabeth and Joe.  The shoot went well and they both look so happy and in love!

It looks like the beginning of a Fairy Tale ending!  :)  

Congratulations Joe and Elisabeth on your upcoming wedding ceremony.  You both are a lovely and sweet couple!  I wish you all the best and lots of blessings!  I look forward to your wedding day!
