running free - Presidio, Lovers Lane - {Bay Area Family Photographer}

oh to be young...to have the energy to just run and run and run...and not even be out of breath. Loved shooting this sweet family again in the Presidio by the troll bridge (what this 5 year old told me they called it) aka Lover's Lane trail in the Presidio. I loved capturing this family's energy with one another and then just letting their kids be kids with Dad playing pretend with his daughter and letting her just run free. So nice to see, no structure, no forced smiling, just letting them be them. Thanks for having me there, I felt like I was spying on the perfect family day!

Ace's Family - Washington Park San Mateo - {Bay Area Family Photographer}

I feel so lucky for what I get to do - I get to meet many sweet and happy and wonderful families and document their memories. This session was no exception and has such a magnificent story behind it. I first told Ace's adoption story about 6 months ago on my blog and now I got to meet the people behind it, his birth parents. We did a session with the whole family, Ace and his birth parents and his parents. This is one lucky little guy that is so very loved by many and will have such a great support system for whatever he decides to do in life - soccer, baseball....just no football ok? What a special memory he will have for years to come when he sees the photos from when his birth parents came to visit. Enjoy these memories and thank you for having me capture them.
