Family Session at Golden Gardens Park

Every family has their share of formal pictures taken in a studio setting - our included. But how many have had the fun of going out to a park, a favorite place (or even staying at home) where real life happens to get images taken that capture the fun, the messiness, the laughter and the personality that sums up your family? After experiencing a session like that ourselves this past summer, I was very excited to begin these "lifestyle" sessions for other families.

So Sunday morning we hooked up with our very good friends, Joshua and Sheri, and their four beautiful girls to have some fun in the sand at Golden Gardens Park. They were such a fun family to photograph, and I hope that for the girls it felt more like a play session than something they had to work hard at...at least, that's how it felt for us! Here are some of my favorites from the day...


Joshua and Sheri had just returned from Hawaii with their girls from a family vacation, and brought back the "Do Not Disturb" sign from their hotel room. Natasha was so funny holding the sign for me - she kept peeking back to see what her parents were up to!

Joshua is one blessed dad...

Real life - I love this image! From the sisters sharing a laugh to the littlest one sticking out her tongue, to mom and dad walking at a safe distance behind the girls, it all works for me.



Joshua and Sheri, this photo session was three years in the making - I'm glad it finally came together! I hope that these images will bless your family for years to come. We love you guys!
