The S Family | Auburn Family Session

I love photographing families at their home, especially when their yard looks like this!

The light was SOOO pretty!

Thank you, S family, for a FUN evening!

The T Family | Griffith Quarry

As a photographer, I’m constantly on the hunt for new locations! In fact, it’s one of the things I really love about my job. Sometimes, I will learn about a location on Instagram or Facebook (a local photographer will mention where she did a recent session) or I’ll stumble upon a new spot while on a hike with my family. Occasionally, a client will request that their photo session be held at a particular location.

That was the case with the T family. Mom asked about a specific location where they’d hiked with her son’s Boy Scout troop, and although I’d driven past it several times, I’d never parked my car and explored on foot. What a gem I’d been missing out on!

In late November, I met up with the T family at Griffith Quarry in Penryn, and they gave me a tour around the place. The more we explored, the more it became clear what an awesome location this is!

Moss-covered granite boulders + wood split rail fences + open grasslands + beautiful light + a sweet, loving family of three = one VERY happy photographer.

Here’s a look at some of my favorite images from their hour-long session:

Thank you, T Family, for a fun photo session!

The L Family | Fall Photos

We’re really lucky to live right next door to this sweet family of four.

This was a bittersweet September night for them; their son was heading back to college in the morning.

And I can’t believe their youngest is already a senior in high school.

I felt so honored to be able to capture this precious time in their lives.

The Bartkoski Family

A beautiful location for a beautiful family.

I'm catching up on blogging now that I am not as busy with fall photo sessions.

The Bartkoski family was so much FUN to photograph in late November! If you don't believe me, take a look at the two images below. :-)

Seriously hysterical!! I was laughing so HARD behind the camera as I took the first shot. But I didn't see the second image until I uploaded the photos to Lightroom, and boy, oh boy, was I cracking up at my desk.
