Santa Cruz Family Portraits

Are you thinking of having a family portrait taken in Santa Cruz? I’m personally ready for sun dresses and warm sunny days!

Last week Anna, from Freedom Bakery, stopped by with her 3 girls and her mother who was visiting from Taiwan. I was happy to meet Anna’s new baby who is a month old. I don’t know why I am always so surprised how small newborns are, so delicate and so precious. They change and grow so fast. You can never have too many pictures.

We had a little photo session in my studio. I love the girls spring dresses and the flowers in their hair. This time of year  is definitely the start of portrait season. I love Spring portrait sessions in a garden or park. So many flowers are starting to bloom right now and I recently found an amazing spot with old growth wisteria in downtown Santa Cruz.

Big sisters with big personalities. I can tell they are very happy with their new playmate.

They had a lot of ideas for poses and photos. One of my favorites is posted above. Not sure what they had in mind but I like it.

Anna and sweet Sophie.

If you have been thinking about having a portrait taken, give me a call 831-325-4183. I offer studio sessions or we can go on location any where in Santa Cruz or the Monterey Bay. We can go to the beach, the redwoods or a meadow. Want to give a portrait session as a gift? I also offer gift certificates. Gift certificates are perfect for Mother’s day gifts, birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion.

Some of my favorite local spots for portraits include Natural Bridges State Beach, Wilder Ranch, Seabright, the Boardwalk, Henry Cowell, Capitola village and beach, downtown Santa Cruz, La Selva beach, UCSC, Davenport, Roaring Camp, just to name a few.
