Abbey and cousins - Amy Perl Oakland Photographer

I met adorable Abbey at one of my Crackerjacks in-store portrait days last year before the holidays, and her parents called me to do some photos of her with her two boy cousins while they were here visiting from the East Coast. There is one photo in here that just shows how in love she is with them....cute little face.

Getting to know them... - Amy Perl Oakland Photographer

I love getting to know my 'clients'. The kids get used to me, they feel more comfortable with me and my camera, they like to show me stuff...love it. This is the third year that I've "worked" with this family, and I always come away with some of my favorite photos. The last couple of photos I've shown here, I wish I had done for me an my family. The generational photo. That's what photography is all about right? Capturing memories, capturing faces, showing who we are, where we come from, where we live. This is why I started photographing in the first place, and this is why I always will.

My Mother's Day - Amy Perl Oakland Photographer

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Anybody who knows me, knows I am a busy body. As my father likes to call me. And it's true, and I'm not ashamed...but for Mother's Day, my family allowed me to do just this. We went to Genova Deli and waited and hour for some delish sandwiches, went to Golden Gate park to eat them, then over to Stow lake and we watched the cool sailboats and scootered around the lake (turns out that's really tiring and I only went around once), then over to the Polo Field area and ran around there. Isaac and his dad geeked out with Isaac's awesome remote control car, while Avi and I ran around leaping and peeking into old horse stables. I took pictures. A perfect day.
