This is little baby Addison. She is the tiniest baby I may have ever photographed, at just under 4 lbs! This was a joint session with Annie Rowland of Annie Rowland Photography in Santa Cruz. This baby’s daddy, Dustin, is a mutual friend of mine and Annie’s so we teamed up to do the shoot, which was a lot of fun. Dustin owns DLP Construction and he has worked in about every single room of my home as well as my office & studio! He does great work – particular with wood work (cabinets & built-ins) so if you are ever in need of a great contractor for your home, let me know and I’ll give you his contact info! In fact, the day this tiny little gem was born, he was just finishing the remodel of two of our bathrooms! Dustin and Andrea were so cool, calm and collected during this session – I think we were more nervous about handling this little tiny baby than they were about the shoot. The shoot took place in their home, using gorgeous window light. Little Addison just slept away and we posed her every which way, put hats on her, little knit wraps, etc. So cute!
Continuing on with this Blogapalooza… meet little Carmen. She is such a little sweetheart. I met her just before Christmas last year when she was just a few months old. She came in with her family for their holiday session and she was in that sometimes difficult age to photograph when they are still tiny and can’t sit up yet. So I was very happy when her mom brought her back fro her “big girl” session. I just love her sweet little smile and dimples. She’s like a little doll with her porcelain skin and dark hair and blue eyes. So cute!!
This little cutie was born earlier this year to our good friends, Rob and Lyndsay. This session took place a while back, and I just recently realized that in my lack of blogging, I never added this session to the site. Which is a shame, because this little boy was such a cutie and a breeze to photograph. I did his older brother, Owen’s newborn session several years back, too. Shown below is a little composite we put together of some shots we took of Owen while his brother was taking a break. I’ve seen this little newborn recently – and boy is he the spitting image of his older brother – it is really crazy!! Both boys are so cute and sweet. I think they have great parents

I absolutely love everything about photo shoots with horses. I love the barns, the landscapes, and the relationship between the horse and it’s owner. (Exception: I’m pretty allergic to horses so I have to “Claritin Up” before heading out to one of these sessions, but it is always very much worth it!). This session took place at Sarah’s barn in Morgan Hill. We had gorgeous light and her barn was surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and twisty roads (with fast cars that we narrowly escaped at one point when shooting across the street!). I love the colors in these images – all of the blues, greens and purples. So rich and pretty!
Does this baby have the coolest name ever? I love names that start with Z! With a name like that, you are destined for greatness! Yet another little guy who went right along with everything we tried to do to him. This is my absolute favorite age to photograph – when a baby can sit up but not quite crawl – they are so good natured and just plain adorable at that age. His mom brought him some pretty cool clothes, too. He had several looks – pure and simple baby look, safari baby look, rocker baby look. You name it. We shot it. I just love his big blue eyes and two little teeth .
I love when my high school senior clients come in with great ideas! Monica had seen a prior picture I had done of a girl posed on the floor surrounded by magazine pages. She wanted to do something similar but with record albums. What high schooler these days even THINKS of vinyl records?? Monica arrived with a bag of vinyl in hand and we had a lot of fun swirling them around her. I love the resulting images, especially this first one – almost hard to tell which way is up – but it is fun all around! We also headed outdoors for a while for a combo studio & location session.
This little guy was such a pleasure to photograph. I shot his newborn session several months prior and really loved working with his family. It’s always so much fun to see the newborns evolve into little personalities. We was such a good little guy – I think we put him in at least six or seven “sets” and he was happy throughout. I really enjoy photographing babies at this age in the studio. It is really all about their cute expressions and the focus is truly on the child. Simplicity at it’s best .
Viki called us this summer with some great ideas for her portrait session. We both love the concepts we see in Free People clothing ads, and I knew of a perfect location to carry this concept out. We waited until the sun set nice and low – and then we captured that beautiful golden aura, which highlights her hair so beautifully in many of these shots. She brought the most amazing dresses. She is very creative, and is currently attending beauty school – I have a feeling she’ll be very successful.
Fall senior portrait sessions are filling rapidly. Check out more of our work and information [HERE] or email us at [info@amylyndenphoto.com] to book your Class of 2012 session today! Sessions for September are almost full, and we are now booking October and November dates. THANK YOU!
This post is sooooo long overdue it is not even funny. This little guy stars on my our new newborn website. He just snoozed away and we snapped away. His little brother, Keagan, did a great job holding him – there aren’t many 4 year olds who would pass that test. The family ordered a beautiful wall gallery of framed canvas images. It will be so beautiful!
Open House & Seam Clothing Private Trunk Show
Thursday, September 22, 2011
4 pm – 8 pm
Co-hosted by Amy Lynden, Lisa Bain, & Amanda Boschken of Seam
At the studio:
815 West San Fernando
San Jose, CA 95126
408-457-7997
We have been in the same building for 6 years now, and have never had an Open House… until now! I will be co-hosting an Open House and Seam Clothing trunk show with my great friend, Lisa Bain and Amanda Boschken of Seam. Stop by after work for a glass of wine and light appetizers or come by after dinner for a little dessert – either way, we’d love to see you! Seam designs the most adorable, PHOTOGENIC girls clothing! You will not find this line of clothing in major stores – it is sold exclusively through private trunk sales. So, if you are looking for clothing for your child’s next photo session, then please come see this collection! I have photographed my own daughters in this collection and they wear the daylights out of it on a daily basis. I even find people stopping me in the street to ask where I find their clothes. You can see a mini gallery of Lisa’s daughters and my daughter, Kate in Seam clothing from Seam’s past collections here (sorry Kate looks a little pouty – she was in Florida and wasn’t super fond of the heat). Your children are welcome to join you as well, so that they may try on the clothing. But what if you don’t have children? Please still come and say hi! We have worked many hours in creating a new beautiful studio that showcases my passion for photography and I’d love show it off to all of my clients, past and present. It will be a wonderful opportunity to see my high school seniors (and their families!), my newborns all grown up into big kids, and all of those friends I haven’t seen in ages. Anyone who stops by will receive a card for 50% off their fall photo session and 10% off their Seam Clothing order! We hope to see you soon!
