Carlsbad Family Photographer {Leo Carrillo Ranch Portraits}

I love working with this adorable family and for session this year we met at one of my favorite venues, Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad. Leo Carrillo is not only one of the best places to walk around with your kids, it has endless Photo locations and even hosts weddings. It’s always one of my favorite and I love our photos this year!

From engagement to wedding and through all the family milestones, it’s been an absolute joy to capture your journey as a family!⁣

I’m so grateful for the kind words in this 5-star review and for the trust you’ve placed in me to document your family’s story through all the ages and stages. Building a lasting relationship with clients is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. ⁣
Thank you for letting me be part of your beautiful moments! 🌟💕
🎉✨ New Year, Same Wonderful You! ✨🎉⁣

Ah, resolutions. This year, I’m aiming for the usual: eat better (while still indulging in dessert), exercise more (does chasing the kids count?), and spend less time scrolling (except for sharing sweet family moments like yours). 😅⁣
⁣
But here’s the one resolution I know I’ll keep: spending more time with the people I love and capturing memories that make life so special. 🥰 Let’s make 2025 the year of more hugs, more laughter, and more meaningful moments—together.⁣
⁣
What’s your most ambitious (or hilarious) resolution this year? Drop it in the comments and let’s inspire each other to aim high… or laugh about trying! 😉⁣

✨🎉 Tomorrow is the 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 day of the year—can you believe it?! 🎉✨⁣
⁣
Before we say goodbye to 2024, let’s take a moment to soak in all the memories, the lessons, and the love this year brought us. 💕 Whether it was big milestones or small, quiet moments, every bit of it mattered.⁣
⁣
So, here’s the big question: Who will you be spending the final hours of the year with? 🥂🎇 Whether it’s your family, your friends, or a cozy night in with your favorite people (and maybe a pizza), I hope it’s filled with love and laughter.⁣
⁣
Drop a comment and let me know your NYE plans—bonus points if they involve comfy slippers or sparkly hats. 😉
🎁✨ I hope your Christmas was merry, bright, and full of love! Whether you spent it surrounded by family, cozied up with your favorite holiday movie, or sneaking an extra cookie (or three), I hope it was everything you wished for. 💫⁣
What was the highlight of your Christmas this year? Share your favorite moments in the comments—I’d love to hear! ❤
