Family photos at Arizona Cactus Garden
Morning light filtered through the Arizona Cactus Garden in Palo Alto, during this multi-generational family photo session. Nicole and Mark brought their 10 month old daughter Kaia, home to the Bay Area from their current base in the UK. This photo session was with Nicole's family - her mom and her two brothers. The morning light added a fresh, bright vibe to these family photos.
Maternity Session at Gamble Garden, Palo Alto
Lareine chose the lush Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto for her maternity photo location. She wanted both a blend of posed maternity portraits, as well as some candids and posed family photos with her husband and two year old son. If you’re considering taking maternity photos in the SF Bay Area, I highly recommend Gamble Gardens as a location! It’s flat, well paved, and full of beautiful blooms especially in the spring and early summer months.
Family photos at Filoli, Khong and Linna
If you’re wanting to update your family photos with a garden background, look no further than Filoli in Woodside, CA. It’s the photo-perfect garden in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a family photographer, I rate it highly for its variety of backgrounds, large parking lots (the logistics matter), and flat, paved paths.
Family Photos at Filoli with the Roberts
Filoli is a top location for family photo sessions in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this session, we took some updated family photos for the Roberts, and their 2 year old Jane stole the show. Jane has so much energy and independence - from the confident stomp-stomp in her summer sandals, and the quiet examination of every pebble and stick in her path, to the decisive waves of her small hands telling us all where to stand (yes including me with my camera). I’m honored to contribute to the Roberts’ heirlooms and their family’s journey, and I look forward to seeing their future seasons of life.
Maternity photos at Montara State Beach - Sharon + Andrew
Sharon and Andrew’s beachside maternity photoshot at Montara State Beach, to celebrate a new and exciting season in their journey together as family. It was a gloomy and windy day, but it made these photos all the more majestic.
Kim-Lee Family at Filoli - Ray’s 1st Birthday Photoshoot
Elena reached out to me to schedule a photoshoot to celebrate her youngest son’s first birthday. Little did I know that she and her family would show up in the classiest fits of all the families at Filoli that day.
