I had a blast photographing the Howze Family at China Camp in San Rafeal for my first mini session family portrait day! The light could not have been more perfect and there were such great options for posing the family in different spots around the park. Little Katherine was so cute and such a sweetheart! She carried around her little polka dot purse and gave her mommy the best hugs during the photo shoot. I loved her hairstyle-perfect throwback to the 70′s! Thanks Howze family for making the photo shoot so fun and easy!

I had so much fun photographing families at China Camp in San Rafael, CA! What an awesome location with tons of options for backgrounds with natural environment as well as interesting structures with fun colors and textures. The Brodt family and I go way back (I photographed Jake and Jill’s gorgeous wedding!) and now that their family has grown with the addition of couple of adorable and fun loving little girls, I was stoked to work with them again! We had so much fun and I loved the challenge of keeping those active bundle of joys interested and engaged! Marie was full of kisses for her mommy and Ruby was full of funny faces! I think they both enjoyed being tossed in the air by their daddy and hey it was all worth it in the end-cause ice cream was promised and delivered!portrait sisters china campfamily portrait china campfamily portrait china campfamily portrait china campfamily portrait china camp

Redheads are adorable, and if you add in some dimples, you just can’t get any cuter! Baby Jules will be turning one this month, so he was desperately in need of some portraits to capture his baby self, before he becomes a full fledged toddler.  The Wilson Family was signed up to do the family portrait session down at China Camp, but first I headed to their home to get some shots of Jules in his element! Julian was in a great mood when I arrived which is always awesome and we had fun hanging in his room for a few before mom got him dressed to go outside and play!
