I’ve been looking at little Maya’s images since our photography session last week and I have to confess she has been bringing me so much joy. One is such a fabulous age to photograph. (Did I tell you I LOVE my job!) It was a freezing morning when we met for a family photo session with a Paris theme. Little Maya was such a star, braving the cold and let me tell you it really was a super freezing Paris morning. Brrr…
Isn’t she just the cutest little cherub!
This is Maya’s wonderful family who have lived in Paris for about 5 years with the gorgeous Blanco. Maya’s mom wanted to have some photos to capture their time together here in Paris.
Although I have to confess that the cold weather was a little too much at one stage so we had to pop in to a local Paris café to warm up with a ‘chocolat chaud’.
It was good to warm up and thaw out a little before we continued on with some photos … this is one of my faves. Blanco’s content expression is just priceless!
The final challenge of the morning was to get a photo of Maya and Blanco together by which stage little Maya was exhausted. But with some strategic moves from Mom & Dad behind the scenes I think we pulled it off. 
Luckily as just a few minutes later poor little Maya fell asleep snuggled up against her Mommy. Lisa, you guys were fabulous. Thanks for braving the cold and I’m looking forward to sharing your gallery really soon!

Hi Lisa! What gorgeous photos! I love the setting, the outfits, and the people. You look so different from 15 years ago (in a very good way)!
These photos are amazing. Your daughter is beautiful. I miss you Lisa!
What a super cute little girl. Love the photos with the backdrop of the tower. She looks toasty warm in the last one in her hat. Great images Sarah!
Love these photos - they truly capture the beauty and personality of Maya, a sweet, snuggly, happy, intelligent girl! No surprise, given those parents and canine companion!
What a beautiful family!!!! And maya is absolutely adorable, I didn’t think she could get any prettier but she did!!!!! Thank you for sharing your happiness, it fills my heart with joy!

You all look stunning! I look forward to seeing you in real life once you are further east (minus the eiffel tower background, of course)! — Sherry
lisa, maya is soooo cute, although she takes after… who?
We are thrilled to find Maya and Blanco friendly together against the background of Eiffel Tower.
Maya is an angel and Blanco a knight.
Also pleased to see a happy family on the Paris street.

I love the family portrait - the four of you striding out braving the Paris weather - very ‘lifestyle magazine’! Hope these photos bring you happy memories in years to come.

Lovely photos! Good memories of Paris!
Elles sont superbes ces photos!!!
A very handsome family captured beautifully in these photographs. Congratulations! You must do the same thing in Jakarta and share with your “extended family”.
These photos are amazing! Maya resembles both Lisa and her husband. She has such a nice face. It is so nice to see all of you with nice backgrounds that are supposed be ‘typical’ Paris but definitely atypical and outstanding. I especially like the last photo. Maya’s hat is so cute. You guys are lucky to have found a nice photographer. I will pass this to some friends in Paris.
Long time, Lisa san. It’s great to see these so sweet pictures of your family.! Last two pics are awesome in particular.! Look forward to seeing you all in Asia.
What beautiful photos! They capture the warmth and love of the family, including the canine companion - but Maya steals the show ….. I’ll miss you in Paris but looking forward to Jakarta.
Hello Maya & Hibbo!
Great photos of an adorable baby with her lovely family and a guardian dog. We are sure those will remain forever to be an unforgettable memoire of Paris for all of you.
Thanks for the lovely photos, Sarah. We think you have captured our little star Maya very nicely–but we are a bit biased! Can’t wait to see them in print.
wow, what beautiful photos!!!! your kid is really lovely. we are all missing you here in Japan. please contact me whenever you come back here and show us your nice smile with your beautiful kid and nice husband again.
The photo of Maya and Blanco together is the best shot. Others are also very nice. They remind us of the days in Vancouver when Lisa was one year old (and her parents were young).
Lisa! All of photos make me super happy. You all are so gorgeous.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all again.
What wonderful photographs to make for a future family heritage. Artistic staging with Paris as a backdrop. I was very happy to be sent these mementos of the young family
