Baby Face| Fuller’s Photo Debut| Children’s Studio Portraits in Marin

Misty Richmond — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 04:18:42 +0000

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted any new photos here, so I’m excited to have these super cute photos of Fuller to show off. I know it may have seemed like I fell off the face of the planet for a little while there, but here’s the proof that I’m still alive and kicking and back to work. I was a little worried there for a second that it would be a while before I would be able to pick my camera up again (or anything else, for that matter). A few weeks ago my fiance and I (hey, I got engaged!) went snowboarding and I guess I was having a little too much fun and should have quit while I was ahead and still in tact. I was actually doing a pretty good job of not falling for most of the day, but I just had to catch that last lift up and I managed to fall on my right wrist so hard that I couldn’t pick up a cup without yelping like a crazy person for the next two weeks. But I’m happy to say that my arm has returned to its natural color (bye bye black and blue) and the yelping phase is completely over. Yay!

It was great to be taking photos again and I couldn’t have had a better subject to start with. Look at those baby cheeks! Don’t you just want to pinch them like your crazy Aunt Betty used to pinch yours? I’m so glad Fuller’s mom decided to go ahead and bring him into the studio. We had scheduled his photo session for next month, but she didn’t want to miss capturing his “babyness” in it’s full glory. Good thinking on her part! They change amazingly fast in that first year, so the sooner the better.

Have a mentioned lately how much I LOVE photographing newborns? Those tiny toes and fingers- they get me every time.

And Kathryn seems to be enjoying the new playmate. Not so playful yet, maybe, but it won’t be long before they’re running around entertaining each other.

I think someone was pretty excited about getting a new little brother, wouldn’t you say?

I can’t wait to go over to their house to take the little guy’s debut photos in a few days. Fun!

Yep- I do indeed love my job. I think I may be getting to see more than my fair share of cuteness around here…..

Harrison, Drew & Melissa’s Studio Photo Session| Bay Area Children’s Portraits

I was really excited about getting to photographing the kids in their kimonos. Aren’t they adorable? Ah… it brought back nice memories of walking around my old neighborhood in the outskirts of Tokyo in the cool evening air and seeing people strolling along in their summer kimonos. Too bad that I’ve forgotten almost every word of the Japanese I learned there. Harrison treated me to a few sentences of Japanese and all I could do was smile and wish I knew what he was saying- lucky for me, he was nice and translated for me.

Ellie’s Photo Session| Children’s Studio Portraits| Marin Photographer

Misty Richmond — Thu, 28 May 2009 23:47:57 +0000

I photographed Hanna and Michael’s gorgeous wedding in Woodside two years ago, so it was really fun to see them again and to meet their beautiful daughter, Ellie in my studio the other day. Time never seemed to fly quite so quickly as it does now that my wedding clients are coming back to me with their children in tow and I’m seeing the kids I’ve been photographing since they were babies running around saying funny witty things. It really is strange how incredibly fast life changes.

Jake and Will’s Portrait Session| San Rafael Studio Photos| Symbio

Misty Richmond — Tue, 19 May 2009 19:20:50 +0000

Baby Will slept through most of this session and made it easy to get gorgeous photos of his sleepy peaceful little face. I love that we got that little smile out of him for a few photos- there’s nothing like a baby’s first smiles to make a mom melt.

Look at Jake’s happy face! I could take credit for that, but this time, Jake was smiling at Noelle and Lele, the boys’ unofficial aunts and their mom’s close friend. Noelle and Lele came along to give a helping hand at the photo shoot, and for once in my life, I didn’t even have to bark or act like a monkey to see those smiles (it may sound crazy, but babies love the Lady Animal routine).

Jake is absolutely in love with Noelle and Lele, so it’s easy to see why so many parents trust them for help and advice with their children. Noelle and Lele are the founders of Symbio, which offers services geared to meet the real-life needs of modern families as they move through the early years of child rearing.
