I met up with this adorable family in Lake Tahoe for a family session. We started out at their family cabin near South Lake. After running around the backyard, which was perfectly woodsy, we headed out to the lake. Lexie and Jose have two sweet daughters. The girls were absolutely amazing during their session. They took a quick minute to warm up to me and my camera, but once they were comfortable they were the best!

The best photos come from letting the little ones be themselves. Kids need to be able to run around and play during a family session. I encourage the silliness and playful family hugs. Lexie and Jose have a really awesome relationship with their girls and it was easy to capture all of their love.

Our time at the lake was lovely. The girls played in the sand while the sun set over the Tahoe mountains. We kept the session light and easy, allowing the little ones to get all sandy and dirty. Their shoes kept falling off and the air grew colder as the sun went down, but it was a fabulously fun evening. I admire the way this family interacts and it was a joy to photograph them!
