What a joy this maternity session in Fair Oaks was! Spring is the time for new life, including new babies! This sweet family had the brightest smiles, and you could tell big sister was thrilled for their new arrival.

Taking pictures with kids is always an adventure. It can be nerve-wracking for some parents when their kids are on the move constantly, but the movement can create incredible photos! I can’t get over her hair flying in the photo on the right.

The river also provided opportunities for skipping rocks and smelling the flowers.
