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.
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 youre considering taking maternity photos in the SF Bay Area, I highly recommend Gamble Gardens as a location! Its flat, well paved, and full of beautiful blooms especially in the spring and early summer months.
If youre wanting to update your family photos with a garden background, look no further than Filoli in Woodside, CA. Its 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.
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). Im honored to contribute to the Roberts heirlooms and their familys journey, and I look forward to seeing their future seasons of life.
As a fine art wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m always thrilled to capture love stories in our areas 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.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.
