SF Bay Area Same Sex Engagement Photos | San Jose LGBT Photographer

When we pulled up to the location, (one of my favorite spots— Coyote Hills Park in the East Bay), I met them in the parking lot so we could walk up the trail together. Ali immediately gave me the warmest hug ever, and then the two of them immediately started cracking jokes and making me laugh. I knew immediately that these were some awesome girls and we were going to have a great session together.

You won’t believe how cute this sweet puppy is! | Engagement Photos with a Dog | Bay Area Photographer

When this sweet couple contacted me for photos featuring the newest member of their family, I was absolutely thrilled! I am a seriously HUGE dog lover and am obsessed with puppies, especially Goldendoodle puppies like this one! He had the sweetest, softest little curls and was full of energy and enthusiasm for life. He was such a rockstar during our session and was the perfect model during our shoot!

This beautiful family is celebrating their sweet one year old daughter’s first birthday this Spring! Can you believe her big soulful brown eyes? These parents were so kindhearted, easygoing, and clearly absolutely smitten with their baby girl! (And who on Earth wouldn’t be!?)

Newborn Lifestyle Session | Iris & Lace Photography | SF Bay Area Newborn Photographer

I especially the way that lifestyle newborn sessions are laid-back, authentic, and effortlessly include the new parents into the photos. Documentary sessions are captured right in the comfort of your very own home, which always makes everyone feel most at ease. They are slow and un-rushed. The baby or children set the tone and pace for the photos. Newborn photography is especially natural, organic, and candid. I simply photograph my families, exactly as they are—no over-the-top props, babies in baskets, or excessive Photoshop. Just you and your loved ones, snuggling in the comfort of your own sofa and bedroom.

Garden Family Photo Session by Iris & Lace Photography | Silicon Valley Photographer

The magic is in the garden.

This family session was photographed in their own family gardens, among a collection of over a thousand roses! It was simply spectacular and tucked away like their own secret paradise. They chose a wardrobe of laidback, flowing, springy pieces to compliment the natural scenery.
