Hi! I'm Heather Forbes. I have the best job in the world. :) I photograph children, babies and families in mostly San Francisco and NYC, but also Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, San Diego, and Denver.... I love to capture giggles, wobbly first steps, silly faces and milk mustaches. The fleeting stages of childhood are what interest me. This is where you'll find my latest work, ideas and inspirations. Welcome! Add a comment or shoot me an email. I would love to hear from you...
I adore Van and Braeden. They are too fun and I just want to hug them instead of photographing them….but we met at Crissy Field in mid December for some fun in the sun by the water with their fabulous parents who happen to be good friends of mine….I think we did a good job of capturing this crazy cute stage of childhood….
I loved getting to photograph the entire Doyne family over the Christmas break down in Del Mar, CA. They arrived from all over the country for holiday celebrations…cousins and siblings and parents enjoying their time together. What a treat. 
Thanks for the honor of getting to capture it, Olivia!
Iris and Jasper are so much fun. I chased them around their backyard in Alamo last month on a chilly winter afternoon and they told told me about their dog, what Santa was going to bring them and what their favorite music is….it was great to witness their energy and their fondness for one another. What a lucky photographer I am!
Genieveve and her big brother Dominic met me at Dolores Park with their parents before the holidays for some fun photos. I first met G when she was a little tiny newborn and she is growing into such a beauty. That classic Renoir type subject from a long ago era. Wow. Dominic is full of personality, adores his little sis and has a great sense of humor….but you can tell that from his big smile!
I loved getting to join this beautiful family for their Christmas gathering in Orinda. Sparkly lights, a beautiful sunset, giddy children and extended family reunited to celebrate. What a fantastic evening! Here’s my favorite shots of their special gathering! Happy New Year!
I love getting to visit these guys at their beautiful home in Berkeley. Delaney and Sasha are very expressive and full of energy and ideas, and they make my job really easy because it’s hard to take a bad picture of them!
I met these precious cuties at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park and Gemma got to tell me what she was for Halloween and what she wants Santa to bring her for Christmas. Ben is brand new….and he has big eyes and a wise little smile. I love getting to photograph them every year!
