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! ;)

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...

Sweet Sisters| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Danville, Ca

In my last few sessions, I have come across some real hams!  And little sister was no different last night!  At 13 months, she looked directly in the camera and gave the biggest, brightest smiles- and often times cracked herself up!  Big sister enjoyed playing in the leaves and scouting out new locations for them to take their pictures- such a fun evening!

Mama's Girl| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Newborn Photographer| Moraga, Ca

This sweet little newborn only wanted her Mama (and food ;) )....  She wanted nothing to do with sleeping or posing for me and didn't want to leave Mom's arms!  But after having met her Mom, I can see why; she is so calm and nurturing- you'd never know this was her first baby!

Meet the Winner! | Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Danville, Ca

Today I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing our winner from the "Get Ready for the Holidays" giveaway!  Such a cute family of four...the little ones are 11 month old twins!  So glad you guys won- enjoy your sneak peek!

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!

The "M" Family in Danville| Jenn Hoffmann Photography| Family Photographer| Danville, Ca

The "M" family met me out this evening for some fun in front of the camera!  They are dressed PERFECTLY for family portraits... not "matchy matchy" and color coordinated for that timeless look (they definitely won't look back on these outfits years from now and think, "what were we thinking?"!!!).  They were actually styled by Angela at Savvy Styled Sessions and I love the pop of color in little sis' dress!

 Trying not to smile for the camera...
