Fall is almost here, and these family photos in a Napa Valley vineyard from last year have me looking forward to more fall photos! This family had a favorite gorgeous winery that made for a beautiful background for their photos. Fun fact: I’ve photographed all three of these kids since they were itty bitty babies and the family has come back every year since. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for families like this one.

The fall colors were glowing with the golden sun and they perfectly complimented their burgundy themed outfits.

We got to explore the property a little bit and let the kids run wild. These three are goofballs!

The golden sun in these photos takes my breath away. Who needs lights when you have this natural beauty? I absolutely adore being able to capture families with natural sunlight!

The estate was built in 1886. The stone architecture is stunning!

We were able to get away with just Mom and Dad for some sunset pictures. The scenery around the estate is absolutely breathtaking. I can’t believe how much beauty we have within a short drive of Sacramento!

The Napa Valley is famous for a reason! Couldn’t resist the “tourist shot”. Lol

There’s nothing better than walking in the sunset hand-in-hand with the people you love.
