Family photos at Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola, CA

Family photos at Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola, CA

Not every family shoot involves little kiddos, sometimes the kids are all grown up! But that’s no guarantee there won’t be tantrums… I met this client at the top of the stairs of Shadowbrook restaurant in Capitola and we made our way down the winding path, taking photos along the way. We were in-between storms so the light was naturally soft from the overcast sky.

A Man and His Motorcycle (Photo Shoot) @ Vasona Park, Los Gatos, CA

This fine gentleman wanted to print a photo of himself on his motorcycle for his adoring granddaughter, so I helped him pick just the spot for the portrait session. The fall leaves were ablaze when backlit by the sun, so the timing for this morning shoot couldn’t have worked out better. The client was thrilled, and I imagine his granddaughter was, as well.

Wilder Ranch, Santa Cruz Senior Portrait Session

Wilder Ranch, Santa Cruz Senior Portrait Session

With the pandemic and devastating fires, it’s hard to imagine finding islands of happiness, but it’s important that life goes on and we recognize and celebrate life’s milestones. Natalia reached out to me via email to schedule her own portrait session, and we determined that Wilder Ranch had the right feel for what she was looking for. Her mom tagged along and we had a really fun senior session exploring the various distressed surfaces found all around the iconic historic buildings. Here’s a few of my favorite photos from her Senior Portrait session, enjoy!
