So many of my clients have graduated from UC Davis, so it means a lot to them when we can capture beautiful portraits at the Davis Arboretum. No matter the season, it always looks beautiful with its varied gardens and picturesque bridges. Afternoon is a particularly pretty time to shoot there with the sun streaming through the trees and creating that soft, glowing look that flatters everyone.

Playing with bubbles is an all-time favorite!

I’ll never leave a shoot without doing cuddles with mommy.

“1-2-3-SWING!” followed by “Again, again!”

What a fun family! They were up for anything (including piggy-back rides).

If you’d like to schedule a photography session for your family at the Davis Arboretum, or any other location you see here on the blog, just give us a ring at 916-933-8352 or email us at info@jillcarmel.com.
