Yesterday I posted a one year boy session, and today I am posting a one year girl session that was shot at one of my favorite locations for this age – San Francisco Golden Gate Park. As you can see from the images below, as a photographer I encourage families to bring a couple of outfits to show off the personality and different looks of the baby. For my session with Ainsley and her family, we had the absolute pleasure to photograph the session on her actual first birthday! Of course Ainsley had no idea that it was her birthday, but it made for a special family day and great memories of when they look back at these images over the years. On location, I shoot with all natural light for a fun, playful, candid result.


I loved the big print on Ainsley’s shirt/dress, so for the family shot I found some huge leaves which resulted in our “Jurassic Park” Family Shot, which I think is unique and quite cool! I loved these images in black and white or sepia tone, though they look great in color as well and can be produced as prints both ways.


then we were off to play in the ferns
