This golden hour family session in Elk Grove from last fall has me swooning all over again! I have been taking photos of this family since the oldest boy was in mom’s tummy, and it’s been such a privilege to document them as they grow. One of the best parts of my job is seeing families through different seasons. It is an honor!

Watching these kids’ personalities develop is incredibly fun! And did you notice that they all have such gorgeous eyes?

Older sister is quickly becoming a full-blown teenager, so we took time out of the afternoon to make sure she got some extra photos.

This location in Elk Grove is one of my new favorites. It is so versatile with the bridge, tall grass and the creek. When the sun hits just right, it makes magic! I’m ready to go back for spring shoots! Book your family shoot today!
