When you’re down in San Jose photographing an apartment building, you gotta visit Santana Row before heading out! That’s just what we did and ended up doing a fun impromptu portrait session. I’m sharing my favorite photos from Santana Row in this post!

Read all about our family excursion up to the top of Mt. Lassen and how, of course, I had to take photos and snag a few headshots as well. Cause why not? That’s what a Wedding and Portrait Photographer would do!

Come behind the scenes of our very own Extended Fall Family Session at Little Bear Creek Ranch in Anderson, California. The wide open fields and majestic oak trees at the ranch provided a stunning backdrop. I also share tips on how to manage a large family session that includes utilizing a checklist, tripod, and canva color and style palettes. As a Northern California Family Photographer, it’s always a joy to capture families during the holiday season!

There’s nothing better than getting to visit family. And that’s what we did on our quick trip to Washington! We visited the girl’s grandparents, Matt’s grandfather, and my grandparents in Aberdeen, Washington. We had an incredible time! Read the recap of our time together in this post.

Getting your entire family together for portraits can be super hard, but I’m excited to report that we made it happen this year! With the help of a sturdy tripod, we got the big group shot along with individuals and each family separately. It was a great time and gorgeous day in Anderson, California amongst the oak trees and brush.
