The Whole Crew at UCSC Arboretum

We wandered the paths at UCSC Arboretum with the family, stopping wherever the light pooled.

Then UC Santa Cruz: same low sun, new scene.

Twenty years of family sessions teaches you the timing. When to direct, when to disappear, and when to just let a moment finish before raising the camera.

Sand in the car, tired kids, a camera full of keepers. That is a good day at UCSC Arboretum.

The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
