Hot Chocolate + Adorable Kids = Photo Magic | Silicon Valley Photographer

I adore this family and am always excited to capture photos for them.  The beautiful mom, Nicole,  was my daughter’s Kindergarten and first grade teacher (Chloe was lucky to have her for two years in a row).  It has been such a joy to watch Nicole’s family grow over the years and to have this connection with her beyond my daughter’s school years.

For this holiday session, I thought I’d bring some hot chocolate to add a little holiday cheer to their photos.  I knew it would be something the kids would love (and their parents).  Who can resist marshmallows and candy canes?  We had a great afternoon capturing these festive photos!

Sometimes, You Just Need a Zen Moment 🧘‍♀️✨

Life can be go, go, go—meetings, deadlines, endless to-do lists. But every now and then, you just need to pause, take a deep breath, and soak in a little stillness.

Whether it’s a quiet cup of coffee in the morning, a walk outside, or just a few deep breaths between tasks, those little zen moments make all the difference.

What’s your favorite way to reset when life feels a little too chaotic? Share in the comments! ⬇️

Let’s Play a Game of Guess the Profession! 🔍✨

Take a look at the props in this photo—can you guess what my lovely client does for a living? 🤔📸

👓 A sleek laptop
🐷 A piggy bank
💰 A calculator
📊 Color-coded spreadsheets

It’s pretty obvious, right? Some professions just scream their brand, and that’s exactly what a great branding photo should do! When your audience sees your images, they should instantly get who you are and what you do.

Drop your guess in the comments! ⬇️ And tell me—what’s one item that represents your profession?
