Brooke + Min Family Session - Mission Island Marsh
It was a beautiful mini-session with Min, Brooke and the rest of their family at Mission Island Marsh. Even though it was a bit windy, that didn’t stop everyone, including me, from have a great time. I was able to capture some purely genuine moments.

Min + Brooke Family Session - Centennial Park
It has been about 2 years since I photographed Min, Brooke and their family. So I was super excited to once again spend an hour with them, capturing new moments. We decided on Centennial Park which is always beautiful, especially this time of year. Admittedly, with these types of session when little kids are involved, I tend to just go with the flow. I’ll direct some posed family portraits here and there, but most of them time, it’s just a matter of catching nice candid moments. I’m so lucky to have families that I continue to photograph throughout the years, and see how the children grow up. It always amazes me how quickly that happens.

Min + Family Portraits - Hutton Park Drive
So, not only was it really nice out this past weekend but I was lucky enough to have a bunch of family portrait sessions. The first of which was Min and her wonderful family. I'm often asked to choose a location for a shoot but this time around, Min had a really cool secluded location just off of Hutton Park Drive. To be honest, I really haven't had the chance to explore around that area to much, so I was anxious to see what she had found.

As soon as we arrived at the spot, I knew it was the perfect location. We followed the trail into the forest and immediately there were some great spots to work with. There were old planks of wood covered in moss, some cylindrical stones and of course plenty of trees and high grass.
ne of the first photos I was able to get was Charlotte carrying her basket down the trail. From there we all just wandered around a bit and stopped to capture some photos along the way. I always kept my open for perfect little spots and there were plenty to go around.
A question I am constantly asked if it is ok to bring the family dog(s) along for the session I always encourage it. After all, they are part of the family and why wouldn't you want them there with you. I just love taking photos of animals, especially dogs. It may not always be easy to get them to stand still for very long, but in this case, Shelby did an amazing dog. Plus, when she wasn't posing for the camera she was running up and down the trail smelling everything in site.
All in all it was such a fun session at such an unexpected location. Thanks to Min, her husband Brooke and the rest of the family for a great time.
