Natural spaces, trails, and open fields are my favorite locations for family portrait photos! I love the colors, so soft and warm and so complementary to any skin type. I think this is why I always take my photography outdoors and rarely photograph families in the studio. These wide open spaces are the best for kids!
Natural Family Portraits on trails in Vista, CA are my favorite!

“The best days of your life are not just ahead—they’re happening right now, in every moment you choose to be present and grateful for what you have.”♥️
No rules, no stress, just your favorite location -and a lot of fun on our senior session.
Confident. Calm. Completely herself.
Senior year, but make it golden. 🌞🌊

These are the moments that make up a lifetime.
The kind you don’t plan. The kind you can’t pose.
Just a little girl chasing the grandpa who makes her laugh the hardest.
This is what real memories look like—movement, joy, love.
The way he turns to let her catch up.
The way she thinks he’s the most fun person on the planet.
It’s not perfect lighting or perfect stillness…
It’s perfect *connection.*

This moment right here: sunshine on their faces, love in the air, and a baby on the way 🌿✨
Big brother is ready (with sidekick pup, of course), and this growing crew couldn’t be sweeter.
There’s something about maternity sessions in open fields… time slows down, and the joy feels extra real.
