Gabrielson Family Portrait

A sweet little girl, wonderful parents, and a beautiful weekend afternoon on the grounds of UC Berkeley. What could be better?

Sweet Ellie

It was mid-September and fall was just beginning, but it looked like spring when I met with Connie her husband Brian, their daughter Ellie, and Connie’s twin sister Laura. We went to the botanical gardens at Tilden Park in Berkeley where there were lots of fun nooks and crannies to shoot, including the redwood grove that reminded Brian of his roots in the Northwest. They are such a beautiful family- and couldn’t Connie and Laura be models? Oh that’s right, they said they had dabbled in it together at one time. It’s easy to see why.

Conlins on Carmel Beach

This family session was a lot of fun and just seemed to fly by. This is the second time I’ve had the opportunity to document Doug, Traci, and their girls. (The first time was shortly after their second was born: www.lindseyklinger.com/2010/03/baby-molly ) Not only are they photogenic, they’re also one of the nicest families you could meet. Even though it was a more recent session, and I have some others done earlier that I would like to share, I wanted to get this one up before the Christmas season passes us by. Traci brought those adorable candy canes and packages herself, by the way. Happy Holidays!

The Bell & Prewitt Families at Fall Creek

Ok, I’m a little behind in my blogging, but I have a lot of great sessions to share with you. So time to catch up! Here are some of my favorites from a family photo session I did with my dear friend Amy, and her extended family. These photos were taken at a peaceful spot tucked in among the redwoods, called Fall Creek, in Santa Cruz. The family has been coming here for years and years. I never forgot visiting there once with Amy (pictured in the post holding the leaf) when we were both in High School. I asked if they might be open to doing the photo session there, and they agreed! The family has a long history with the place, including the fact that as a young lady, Grandma Edith got engaged right there on the bridge. I have to thank them all, because as usual, they made me feel like part of the family. I really love the photos we got as a result.
