Best Buddies| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Pleasanton, Ca

These little guys are so much fun together!  They cracked each other up with funny jokes and doing silly things to one another.  And big brother busted out poses better than those on America's Top Model!  He was seriously awesome!!!  I know they will forever be best buddies!

Having Fun| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Livermore, Ca

Yesterday was a beautiful day out in Livermore- perfect for getting some family photos for the upcoming Holidays!  The "E" family took advantage of the day and we got some great images from it!  Mom likes a more candid style.... capturing them interacting together and having fun!  Enjoy!

A New Addition- Mini Session| Jenn Hoffmann Photography | Family Photographer| Livermore, Ca

Since this family took their Holiday photos last year, they have added another family member... sweet puppy, Charlie!  So glad they chose to include him in their portraits this year!  And Mom is the ever creative founder of Paperboxpress where you can find her "passion for pictures, parties and paper"!

Bekah Jennings

We paint festive banners that celebrate life. All of our designs are original. Every banner is hand stamped on heavy weight paperboard cards making them light yet durable. Want to know more about the life behind the banners? See my featured seller article here-

JOY to the WORLD painted banner

Each paperboard letter card is hand stamped with a green flourish, topped off with red lettering and then antiqued around the edges for vintage appeal. A subtle sparkle rhinestone punctuates each end letter card. JOY to the WORLD is strung on lovely green satin ribbon and phrase extends over 36 inches, with ample ribbon off each end for ease of hanging.

Sturdy enough to stand up to years of use, this banner is also light enough to be hung up with just scotch tape!

As you can see from the close-up photos, there are unique flaws that are a result of the process of stamping with paint; these enhance the vintage nature of this delightful banner.

Value: $21

Fun | Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Danville, Ca

I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet family tonight....  Mom requested mostly candids of the kids just being kids and having fun together!  And that we did- we (yes, me too) raced, played games and twirled (with beautiful fairy wings!)!!!  And tomorrow is big brother's first day of Kindergarten!  I hope it is a brilliant day!

Twins have always fascinated me...  look at how their steps are perfectly in sync with eachother!

Love both versions...

A Beautiful Evening| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Livermore, CA

It was a beautiful evening in Livermore tonight!  Just perfect for taking family photos!  As soon as I met this family, I realized their two children were JUST like my own!  Sweet, spunky, curious and up for an adventure!  Thanks for the fun!

There was a little girl, who had LOTS of curls! | Jenn Hoffmann Photography | Family Photographer | Bay Area

I met up in Danville today with a terrific family that believes in spreading the word about a cause they deeply believe in.  Their daughter "E" has been diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis and consequently they have set upon a path that I am sure they never thought they would be going down.  To learn more about Juvenile Arthritis and their story, please visit http://teamesella.blogspot.com/  And enjoy the Sneak Peek!

3 Generations | Jenn Hoffmann Photography | Family Photographer | Bay Area

Grandma, a.k.a. "Nini" bought the girl's dresses while on vacation and they then decided they needed a "generations" picture!  Great idea- and something I need to do with the women in my own family!
Although it is almost July in California, it rained yesterday (with thunderstorms!) and today was cloudy and cool.  Not the type of weather you want when you are wearing these sweet summer dresses, but adorable regardless!
Between shots, the girls were bundled up in blankets, snacking on Cheerios and were being real troopers.  Despite the less than ideal conditions, we got some great captures.
Enjoy your sneak peek!

Love this expression...

Mommy and Me Photos! | Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Child Photographer| Bay Area

My "Mommy and Me" Mini Sessions were today and were a lot of fun!  I feel like they were such a long time coming!
I took a variety of pictures, which included Mom and all of her children, Mom and each of her children, her children together and each child separately!  I will have a hard time choosing which ones to present in the galleries!
A big thank you to Joan Godfrey for providing make up services to our Mommies!  She added just an extra "pop", so that everyone looked their best in front of the camera.  If you would like to learn more about Arbonne, please contact Joan at joanc@myarbonne.com and/or (510) 333-2271
Thanks for the great day!  I'll be getting your full galleries to you shortly, but in the mean time here is a little sneak peek!  Enjoy!
