Tea Time| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Bay Area, CA

It's tea time!  Here is Ella modeling another darling creation by Madison Reece Designs!

The "H" Family| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Danville, Ca

I had a quick session with this family just before Thanksgiving.  They are so sweet and photogenic!  I love the starburst coming through the trees int he top left corner!  Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!

Two Cutie Pies| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Pleasanton, Ca

Look at these two cutie pies!  Mom has never sent out a Holiday card and made it a goal this year to do so!  I think they are going to have a really great one to send out to friends and family!

One of my Favorites| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Lafayette, Ca

This little girl is one of my favorites to photograph!  And I have had the opportunity to capture her family since she was in utero, as her Mommy is one of my dearest friends!  We met back in the day (1995!!!) and have since become like sisters.  And our girls are only less than 3 months apart in age!

12 Days New| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Newborn Photographer| Pleasant Hill, Ca

This little guy is only 12 days new- but with all of his hair I think he looks much older!  I love how much eye contact he gave me at the beginning of our session.  Newborns are definitely one of my favorites to photograph!

The "V" Family| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Lafayette, Ca

Photographing this family is always a good time!  Mom and the girls were "wrestling" at one point and Dad came over and tackled them all (making for a hysterical series of images!)!  Little cousin "D" came halfway through to join in on the fun too!

Super Family! |Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Danville, Ca

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family on several different occasions.  Once it was for newborn photos for little brother- and I just can't get over how big he is now!  He was certainly on the go!
Today they decided to show off their super powers; the boys couldn't have been more proud to wear their sweatshirts with Mommy and Daddy!

Third and Final| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Pleasanton, Ca

Today was the third and final day of my mini sessions!  I had some great families show up that were up for anything!  We had a lot of fun exploring, playing and smiling!  This is by far my most favorite time of the year!

Long Time Clients| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| danville, Ca

This great family have been long time clients of mine!  Actually, they were my first "real" clients back in 2009 when I started my business!  Little Sis was just a peanut in Mom's belly at the time... look how far they've come!

Holiday Minis| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Pleasanton, Ca

Today was the second of three mini session dates I have on my calendar.  Thankfully the weather held out!  My sessions were filled with both old and new clients; I always love to see how much the kids have grown from the previous year, and it's always great to meet new little faces!

Raindrops| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Pleasanton, Ca

EVERY single time I have photographed this family, it has rained either right before or during our session!  Here they are positioned under a tree trying not to get wet!!! They are such troopers!  The littlest one (who is only 1) would look at me and say "cheeeeeeeeeeeese"!  So cute!  "F" family, next time I see you I hope it is sunny weather! ;)

Madison Reece Designs| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Bay Area, Ca

Ella modeled this adorable skirt for Madison Reece Designs.  I found her shop through Savvy Styled Sessions and just love everything she offers!  Become a fan of hers on Facebook for up to date information on sales, giveaways and much more!

Happy Birthday! |Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Danville, Ca

This little guy turns one this weekend!  He's already walking and has the most adorable smile that could melt your heart!  Baby "J" is at that age where he is between one and two naps a day, so he did get all tuckered out before cake smashing time!  Hopefully he will participate in the rite of passage at his birthday party!  Enjoy the sneak peek!

Fellow Photographer| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Pleasanton, Ca

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous fellow photographer and her handsome crew tonight!  It is always nice to be able to be in some of your own family photos!
Of course she knows what photographs well, so her clothing choices are impeccable- love the purple!
See you next week "M"!!!

Halloween 2011| Jenn Hoffmann PHotography| Personal| Bay Area, Ca

I hope that your Halloween was as fun as ours was last night!  At 2 years old, Ella totally "got it" this year!  She would march right up to the doors with the big kids and say "tik teet" and then pick out the bags of peanut M&M's. Seriously, I think the kid had at least 10 yellow bags of M&M's.  Derek wore himself out trying to hit every house in the neighborhood and loved every minute of the evening.  I think Halloween is his favorite holiday of the year!
Here is a quickie before we left to go out...
