Hailey Rose: 3 Years Old! - Bay Area Family Photographer - Livermore, CA

Say hi to Hailey. Hailey is the now 3 year old daughter of two of my greatest friends in the world. I've been lucky enough to be a part of their lives and in doing so I have gained the prestigious title of "Uncle B" to little miss Hailey. A year ago I couldn't believe she was two <--pics - and this year..well I can't believe another year has gone by. To top it off I now have a 6 month old daughter of my own! They sure do grow up fast. =) I've taken a lot of pictures of Hailey and they are all special to me so I knew picking favorites was going to be difficult. Below are some of my selections from our session. Happy Birthday Hailey! Enjoy~ -(Uncle) B

Baby Lauren - 1 month old - Bay Area Family Photographer - Livermore, Ca

Jeremy, Kelly, Dylan, Floyd....and now, Lauren! Several months ago I took some family portraits for Jeremy & Kelly (<---here on the blog)and at the time they let me in on a little secret..their family would be growing by one soon. =) Well, time flew by and last month they had their precious little girl, Lauren. Here are some photographs I took of her recently at the ripe old age of just 1 month. =) -Brian

Jason & Veronica - Engagement Session - 12/03/2009 - Livermore, CA

Jason and Veronica are engaged. Yep, it's true. Getting married too. Next October. Personally, that's my favorite time of year for a wedding. My personal wedding was on October 15th. The weather here in Northern California is still so beautiful that time of year and the fall colors are...well pretty awesome(see below). They already have a little mini family going on with their two awesome little dogs, Buster and Maeby, so it only made sense to include then in some of the photos. I'm a dog person so I'm all for it whenever people want to include them in their photos, whatever the occasion.

Originally we planned to do their engagement photos at a different location but when I saw this place this time of year I had a ton of ideas so we switched it up and I think everything came out great. Jason warned me up front that the only way he was going to smile naturally was if I could say something to make him laugh. I'm not going to mention here some of the things that were said trying to achieve this, but suffice to say we had some fun with it. =) If the engagement session was this much fun, I can't wait to see what's in store for the wedding. I know it's going to be a blast.

As usual, here are just some of my favorites from the session(and there were a lot!)

Happy Turkey Day

This photo was taken by yours truly a couple days ago looking out to my back yard. When people think of Thanksgiving, they think of turkey so I thought it was pretty funny that a giant pack of turkeys were going around squawking and gobbling door to door as if to say.... "how about a nice ham this year??" HAHA!

This year year I have so much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for all my wonderful family and friends that have supported us this year. It may sound cheesy but I truly am lucky to have these people in my life.

I am thankful as well for all my awesome clients. I have been so lucky to have the opportunity to work with such great people and to be able to do what I love on a daily basis is the greatest feeling.....ever.

I am very thankful for my beautiful wife who has also supported me tremendously this year as we venture into the world of unknown...sometimes known as parenthood. Yes, that's right, we are having a baby!

I am tremendously thankful for the continued good health of our unborn little GIRL(!) as she grows and changes. She's getting ready to enter this world and kick start the next chapter of our lives...and we cannot wait. What an amazing experience to add to an amazing year and for that, I am thankful.

OK, I'm done! Thank you again and have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
