I got to photograph this beautiful family this morning. Baby Diya turned 3 weeks old this morning. Here are a few photographs from our session.

Isn't she gorgeous?
What loving, doting parents!

Welcome to the world baby Diya!

Photo Shoot at Santana Row

Yesterday I had a great time photographing some children (and one teenager) at Santana Row in San Jose. I love taking pictures there, the setting is so beautiful. These kids were great, so cooperative and fun to photograph! Here are a few of my favorites...

Silicon Valley Duck Race

Have you adopted your duck yet? Vasona Lake Park will be host to the 2008 Silicon Valley Duck Race on the 22nd of June- this weekend! You can adopt a duck for $5, it will be one of 10,000 individually numbered ducks that will race into Vasona Lake. There is a chance to win $1,000,000, a cool Vespa, a gym membership, dinner at La Fondue for 8, and many more prizes! There more ducks you adopt, the better your chances! Not to mention you will be helping a great cause!

There will also be bounce houses, a climbing wall, carnival games, and arts and crafts set up by The Wooden Horse toy store. There will also be music and Food- should be a great time!

So if you are looking for something to do this weekend, head to Los Gatos and check it out!

Kristina is so beautiful!

Michael, Jack, and Sean were great to shoot, love their easy-cool attitudes!

Safe Water Bottles and Sippy Cups

I was so bummed to learn the Nalgene bottle I had used for years could actually be leaching toxins into the water I was drinking. With all the recent information on the dangers of plastic bottles and in particular Bisphenol A, I am sure many of you have been scrambling to replace your children's (as well as your own) water bottles, baby bottles, and sippy cups. (Most baby bottles and sippy cups are made with the plastics that contain Bisphenol A.)

The couple safe options I have come across that I really like are Sigg Water Bottles and Born Free bottles and sippy cups.

Sigg Water bottles come in different designs and styles, you can even switch out to a sport cap if that suits your lifestyle better. Kids bottles include princess fairy designs and pirates- how cute!




Born Free offers Bisphenol A free bottles and sippy cups. Both Born Free and Sigg bottles are available at Whole Foods Market.
