san jose lifestyle family portraits

What is different about our lifestyle family portrait sessions and why are they important? This is a great question that I ask myself all of the time. To be honest I didn’t do a lot of portraits in the past because I never really got it, I never really got how important they were to a family until last year. After having our first child and watching her grow up in front of my eyes already to a 14 month old who is walking and talking I realized how important capturing these little moments with her were. I love looking back at some of the photos of her as a little baby and going through all of the stages of her life so far. Each stage is so different and her personality changes all the time. The images I cherish the most are the natural and fun shots, a photo of me giving her a hug and a kiss brings back so many more memories compared to just a standard studio style photo for me.

After realizing how important it was to capture and create these moments I really started to let more people know of our family portrait sessions. I created a new website just for our lifestyle work: http://www.stagiportraitlife.com and am passionate about documenting life for families. I believe every family should have awesome memories of this time in their life and want to capture your families moments. The sessions are always fun, so forget any past experiences you have had with photographers. Just give us a call and let me do what I love to do, create lasting memories for your family!

There are still some dates left this year for family portraits. A portrait session can be a great Christmas gift or make for a nice personal holiday card to send out to your family. Our lifestyle family portrait sessions are always fun and capture your family in a natural setting being yourself. Here are a few of our recent portrait shoots, to setup your session just give us a call at 408-323-8727 or click on the contact button above.

Recent Family Portraits, San Jose

Some recent shoots

here is an update on some of the recent shoots we have had.  There have been some great family portraits lately we have been photographing and an engagement shoot....

here are a couple images from an engagement shoot at Vasona Park in Los Gatos











We also shot a sisters portrait.  It was a fun session and we were able to capture some cute
shots of these sisters and thier interaction.  This was shot at their house, I really like to shoot at clients homes sometimes there are so many personal parts about the house that I think really make a special
portrait:
















I also got to shoot one of my friends family portraits, one candid shot I loved
was a quick shot of his daughter in between shots.  It is always so amazing to watch a family
grow and I can't believe how quick kids can grow up sometimes:

Baby Portraits

What a cute baby

I photographed a friend of mine's little one year old Gabriella last week and she is just  such a cutie.
Sometimes when I photograph kids it does really make me want to start a family, and she was just a little
angel.  I am editing the images right now and here is one that I thought was just precious.





Everyone have a great Friday!
