Happy Valentine's Day! | Jenn Hoffmann Photography, Bay Area

Happy Valentine's Day!  Hope you are having a wonderful day filled with love!

Using these candy hearts was the only way I could get her to sit still long enough to get a few pictures!

I told her "No more candy".  Fyi... she has about 7 or 8 of the conversation hearts in her mouth already!

And Derek has never been more cooperative for a photo shoot as he was for this one...  Look at the poses he came up with all by himself!   Meet Mr. Joe Cool......

Number Two! | Jenn Hoffmann Photography, Maternity Photographer, Bay Area

This cute family are expecting Baby Boy #2 in March!  True to three year old fashion, big brother would have preferred to go exploring than take pictures- but we still got some cute ones! It's such a wonderful time- anxiously awaiting the arrival of that little person is who is growing inside you. Feeling those kicks and creating that life long bond.  And look at how PERFECT Mom's baby bump is!!!  I wish you the best and can't wait to meet the newest little man!

18 Months| Jenn Hoffmann Photography, Baby Photographer, Bay Area

18 months goes by in a blink of an eye.  I've had the pleasure of photographing this little one's big milestones since she was in womb!  Baby "A" is now talking up a storm; my favorite today was when something tipped over and she said "oh dear"!  SO cute!  I look forward to many more of these sessions!  Love you guys!

Two Peas in a Pod | Jenn Hoffmann Photography, Newborn Photographer, Bay Area

This wonderful family was surprised last week with early arrivals- twin girls!  When walking in to this home today, I was overwhelmed by the love that surrounded these children.  Mom, who has been faced with some unexpected challenges post labor, was cool as a cucumber.  I admire her strength as she kept such a calm household in the midst of newborn twins!  The proud Daddy and doting grandparents were all very eager to help and show off their wonderful blessings.
Thanks for having such a sense of humor amongst all of the poop, feedings, time it took to pose the babies and the HEAT!!!!    Enjoy your photos!

Red Shoes!| Jenn Hoffmann Photography, Family Photographer, Bay Area

The most darling family today all showed up in red shoes- it was so cute! They are so very natural in front of the camera and the love between them is very apparent.  We got some wonderful shots- can't wait to share them all with you!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Lil' Buggy| Jenn Hoffmann Photography, Family Photographer, Bay Area

Little "Buggy" turned 5 months old and Mom wanted some good pictures with the family!  And as all of us always behind the camera know, we are rarely IN any pictures!  So I made sure Mom was represented! ;)  Also, I think I met our future President tonight... their "Mr. Personality" three year old son!  I've never met a child more loving, friendly, outgoing and adventurous!  This little man is going places!  Enjoy your Sneak Peek- it was great to meet you!

And I just cannot decide if I like the color or black and white version better, so here are both...
