The Cooper Family | Bay Area Family Photographer

Sometimes you have so many winning combinations that magic happens. Jeremy’s mom bought him and Caitlin a gift card from me (available for anyone who’s interested!) for Christmas. We decided to wait until Vivian was sitting up to do the session. We could not have had better weather and light- winning factor number 1. This family is *so* gorgeous, and they were dressed to a T. Major props to Caitlin for putting those outfits together! She asked me for advice prior to the session, but what she had picked was so perfect I told her not to change anything.

Let’s just be honest here- these kids are pretty much the most adorable things you’ve ever seen. I think that’s winning factors 3-100. And they’re just as much sweet as they are cute. Micah was a little charmer and said “cheese” for an hour straight (well, when he wasn’t talking about “Rusty” the airplane from Cars). He smiled whenever I asked him to…like real, genuine smile. How many kids can do that?! Vivian gave me all sorts of smiles before and after the session, but not to many during. What I loved was how calm Caitlin stayed. I think it’s so easy for mamas to get stressed out during pictures because they want them to be perfect- but there is so much beauty in the imperfection. Although we didn’t get a lot of smiles from Viv, we got so many facial expressions that her mama says she cherishes.

I had so much fun hanging out with the Coopers! Enjoy some snippets from our session <3
