Hidden Beach, Aptos Family Photography

Hidden Beach, Aptos Family Photography

It’s always an honor and great responsibility to be a client’s first ever family photographer. I mean, their experience will literally set the tone and frequency for their next 18 years of shoots. If it goes horribly wrong, they may not do it again, with ANYONE, for years. But if you make the experience fun and easy, they’ll come back to you every couple of years and refer you to boot. I’m pretty sure this lovely family falls in the latter category, but for now let’s just enjoy a few precious gems from this shoot – especially the keepers of their first furbaby, who’s getting on in age.

So this was supposed to be a big family photo shoot at the park, but nature decided she wanted to rain. Rain hard. Since we're often relying on a bunch of peoples' crazy schedules (and the stars) to align, rescheduling was simply not an option. So we did this entire shoot under the roof art the entryway of a private residence. We had a cool blue wall to work with, and everyone was dressed in bold, vibrant colors. To make things interesting, we also had four dogs of various size and age – that's 11 pairs of eyes to sync up, but I embrace the challenge!! We weren't planning on it, but I took shots of each dog at the end of the session, so cute!!
