Los Gatos Engagment Session Photographer- Julie & Jeff's E-Session

What can I say, we had quite the time Julie, Jeff and I! Our Engagement session started at Powell's Candy Store in downtown Los Gatos. J&J regularly enjoy a trip there for candy. It made the perfect backdrop with lots of color, a "Test Your Love Machine", and mints called, "Commit-mints" :)
After having some fun in at Powells, we walked along the streets of Los Gatos. We found a Restoration Hardware Store that provided a cute little sitting area, a Tuscan looking alley way, and even a bridal shop called, "She Said Yes!" How perfect is that?
From there we headed over the Vasona Lake County Park for some fun with Julie's 2 person bicycle! It had belonged to Julie's mother when she was a teenager, and her and Julie's dad would ride it together when they were young, how perfect was it that Julie could use it in her engagement photos??? So, to J&J, watching the two of you interact makes me see how much the two of you truly enjoy one another's company. Not only are you in love, but you are best friends also..........I know that your marriage is going to be filled with many years of joy and happiness! Congrats to the two of you and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to capture your love! XO

Napa, California Wedding Photographer- Kama & Dennis

I had the pleasure of capturing the intimate exchange of wedding vows between Kama & Dennis on April 22nd at the Carneros Inn in Napa, California! Kama and Dennis traveled up from Southern California to marry in one of the most amazing properties in Napa. Their vows were exchanged in the private yard of one of the Carneros exquisite cottages. Only myself, my assistant, and the minister were present to see Kama and Dennis become man and wife. They shared a glass of wine while eating their carrot wedding cake. We then strolled around the amazing Carneros property to capture some gorgeous wedding portraits..............



Kama, glowing and her AMAZING shoes.....check out those pearls!



Congrats!

Dennis, what a handsome groom........






Amazing views

Work it Out!!


Here's to many years of happiness, love and health Kama & Dennis! Thank you for allowing me to capture this very special day!! XOXO

San Francisco Bay Area Maternity Photographer- Brooke and Jarrett's Maternity Session!

I have known Brooke and Jarrett since high school, so that puts us about 15 years!!! Brooke and Jarrett are just about one of the top 3 cutest couples I know.

1.) They have been together since at least high school: high school sweethearts ;)

2.) You can tell they LOVE each other so much after all these years, they really do complete each other. (soul mates)

3.) They are as beautiful inside as they are outside!

So, since they were expecting a little boy: Jacob Ethan (yes he is here already!!!) and, since they are both major Giant's fans, I suggested AT&T park! They were game! So we spent a wonderful afternoon in San Fran, walking all around the park. Their Pit bull Toby tagged along! Whoever gave Pit Bulls a bad wrap is so wrong. He's the sweetest dog ever!!

Look at Brooke Rock those heals!!!


Toby Dog! (the firstborn ;))


Serious Giant's Fans!!!


Only Brooke is this GORGEOUS 8 months pregnant!!! XOXO



Finishing up at McCovey Cove!!



Love you guys! And the newest Baglietto family member!! What a lucky little guy to be born into such a wonderful family! Enjoy this next adventure in your lives!! XOXO Stacey

East Bay Maternity Photographer- Amy's Maternity Session in Dublin, CA

Miss Amy was referred over to me by The Makeup Dolls for a styled Maternity Session! Our session almost didn't happen as the skies were looking pretty dark and gloomy. However, we decided to go for it! Good think we did because the showers stayed at bay for long enough to get these amazing images!!!

The Virgo in me is a MAJOR PLANNER!! I go into anxiety overload if I'm not completly prepared and ready for anything, especially photo sessions. I was not able to scout locations in Dublin prior to our shoot. So Amy and her hubby suggested a park near their home. I was game, and as a wise photographer by the name of Jasmine Star taught me at the workshop, a good photographer is not someone who just takes good photos in a perfectly beautiful location of their choosing, but one who can create good photos in a lousy location!! But, I didn't have to work overtime because when we jumped out of the car, I saw this:
Bright, beautiful MUSTARD :))




A gorgeous field.........



A fun tree-lined walkway............




Then a trip over to the swings..........practicing for the little guy on the way ;)


As drops of rain started to fall on us, we headed back to their home, which of course will be baby's first home!




I just love pregnant bellies!!! Thank you for looking!!

XOXO,
Stacey
