Folsom Family Photographer | Mother + Son at Sunset

I was thrilled to finally meet Angel and her handsome son!  We had been trying to schedule a date that worked for our session for some time and I was excited that the weather was absolutely perfect the day of our photo shoot.  When her little guy hopped out of the car in his dashing fedora, I knew we were going to get magical images!  This little guy’s grandmother also came along and participated in this beautiful family session!

Angel is really stunning and I adore this session so much. Sessions with children are always so much fun and since kids grow so quickly, I love being able to capture some of their mannerisms and personality while they are still toddlers.

They are so sweet together!  The light was perfect, this family is gorgeous, and there is nothing better in life than a grin from a child!Love these playful shots!I smile every time I see this image and his adorable face!  He was wary about smiling at me at first, but he apparently was won over by my charming wit 😉 Hey there!  He insisted on riding in the wagon, then insisted on pulling the wagon.  Then insisted on removing all the items from the wagon and riding in it again 🙂 Mother and son.
What a cute little man.  Seriously, how precious is that hat!Sometimes during a photo session with a child, it is best to let them wander and explore.  I always choose locations that work well for children and he spent some time taking in the great outdoors.  I feel like this sweetly shows his curious nature.I love how the sunset light danced around in the trees behind them.  Fall light is so pretty, I wish evenings were like this all year.Grandma! I sure do love my grandma!A mother’s love.
Beautiful, happy, and playful pretty much sums up this session.  

Folsom Family Photographer | Cueva Family

Sydney and Ben and Charlie and Max met up with me in Folsom on a balmy October evening.  It was 80 degrees outside and the sun was low in the sky complete with beautiful and soft light for their family session.  It really was a perfect evening to document Max’s 6 months and get some family photos with their growing children!

This adorable and sweet family of four are one of my all-time favorite family clients and I have LOVED seeing the kids grow up over the last couple of years.  I have been taking this family’s photos since Charlie was a newborn and it is always a pleasure to see them 🙂  It is so amazing to document a child’s life through photos, and such an honor to share milestones and become friends with awesome people!  I remember the first time I met these folks, and they were so warm and inviting and it was no surprise that I immediately felt comfortable in their home.

We spent this session wandering around Folsom by the river and talking about their family’s recent trip to Hawaii…I was living vicariously through their vacation as Sydney recounted how much fun it was watching the kids play at the beach and talking about how much Charlie loved the ocean.  I watched the sunlight bounce around in the girl’s lightened hair, fresh from the beach, and I knew this was going to be a great photo session.

In between conversation, we took some photos, and Sydney and Ben played with the kids, and they all smiled and laughed 🙂

These girls are gorgeous!

It might be hectic with two children under the age of two…but there is so much love and affection in this family, it always warms my heart to spend time with them.
Adorable 🙂I love this little boy!So sweet, Charlie loves her little brother so much.He has so.much.hair! I cannot get over his hair.All smiles 🙂 Until next time! I cannot wait to see the kids again 🙂
