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 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.

Intimate Summer Wedding at Gamble Garden, Palo Alto

As a fine art wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm always thrilled to capture love stories in our area’s diverse venues. Tucked away in a residential Palo Alto neighborhood is the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden, with an array of vibrant blooms and lush greenery especially in the summertime months. I was so excited when Narae and Namhoon reached out to me to photograph their intimate summer evening wedding at this Palo Alto venue.

This hidden gem of a Palo Alto wedding venue provided a lush backdrop for their sweet ceremony and reception. The golden hour light filtered through the foliage, and made for more romantic moments in an already cozy garden setting. For those considering the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden for their Palo Alto wedding, I can attest to its charm as a truly magical venue.
