When I walked into their house, I knew it was going to be a good time. The children were smiley and relaxed, mom was completely gracious and at ease, and the house was bathed in gorgeous light. What more could a photographer ask for?
Photographing this family was particularly sweet for me. For one, I got to take a leisurely drive to Sonoma County (read: beautiful!) on a warm fall Thursday evening.
I talk a lot about storytelling sessions and lifestyle photography. People often ask me how that type of photography session differs from your average family photo shoot.
It's been a very busy summer. We've traveled, had our firstborn graduate from preschool and start Kindergarten, a five year old birthday party and all the wonderful adventures in between it all.
There are few things better than spending a summer evening in the beautiful hills of Oakland photographing a beautiful family anticipating their fourth member.
