Folsom Family Photographer | Springtime

Family photos don’t have to happen in the fall…sometimes what we all need is a spring or summer session, dancing in Folsom wildflowers with the sunset glowing around us 🙂 I met up with this gorgeous family this spring, on an exceptionally warm evening, with mosquitos buzzing over our heads and happy laughter of these sweet kids in my ears. This family is really something special, we had some awesome conversation, some fun with the kids, and took some photos in one of my favorite Folsom locations. The sun shined through the trees and we wandered the still-green field dotted with purple wildflowers.

I always love when my clients have some adventure brewing below gentle smiles 🙂 And when hair blows…well, you all know I love some good wind and when there isn’t any we make it on our own 🙂

Swinging them around, dancing with them, playing and laughing…the best way to get 1000 watt grins that is for sure 🙂

Thank you S Family for coming out to Folsom for your family photos! It is always a pleasure photographing your family 🙂

I love every opportunity I have to photograph families. Family photography means so much to me now that I have children. When parents are able to be IN the images with their kids it warms my heart. Natural interaction, genuine smiles, and positively fun sessions are always my goals during family photo sessions.

I often get asked what to wear to a family session and this family did a great job showing off some comfortable outfits perfect the setting, soft tones in the green field, crisp whites and creams, and most of all coordinating without having to match exactly!

Folsom Family Photographer | Bre + Reid

I was so excited to photograph my good friend, Bre Thurston, and her son, Reid last month when she was visiting from Seattle. Bre is a wedding photographer and new transplant to WA state 🙂  She has taken our family photos every year and I was looking forward to getting the chance to do some photos for her.

We loaded up the car and headed out to a sunny little hideaway spot, armed with fruit snacks and toy cars…hoping for lots of smiles and a cooperative four-year old.  I believe the session was a success, we kicked around a lot of dirt, hugged, cuddled, and played our way through!  This little guy put up a fight and was not completely sold on the idea of photos, but in the end his love for his goofy and incredibly sweet mama won him over.  Reid is one of the sweetest little boys I know and it warms my heart watching him interact with his mama.

There is nothing I love more than images of mothers and sons playing and laughing…that could be because I am the mom to a wild little three-year-old myself!  Moms, you all know there is nothing better than your little man’s arms wrapped around your neck in a huge hug.

I love the smiles, but something about a serious little child is just beautiful.

I. Love. This. Image!  This is parenthood and makes all the tough times worth it!Being a mother is hard work, and there are so many things that you are never told about the trials and reality of life with a child…but there is also a pure joy and happiness that comes from the bond with your little boy 🙂These two are so stinking cute!Love!
And one of Bre…she really is as fun as she looks!
