The {I} Family - Rohnert Park Family Photographer

I cannot think of a better reason to schedule a family photo session that to celebrate the milestone of reaching one year old.  Several weeks ago, I met up with this adorable family of three to commemorate their daughters one year birthday.

You might remember them from their maternity session - what a difference one year makes!

We once again returned to Sonoma State for their session, it is such a fitting background for this family since it is the place where everything started.  When clients book a session, my preference is that they select their location.  Of course, I have plenty of options and suggestions in case they are at a loss.  But, my preference is for the location to be meaningful to my clients.  It just brings a whole other level of memories to their pictures.

When my husband and I had our maternity photos taken, I really wanted the country road behind our house to be highlighted.  We walk with our dog almost every night in the evenings and it was important for me to have this part of our lives captured on 'film.' 

What a good lookin' happy family of three!

There are so many fun things about being a little kiddo...one that comes to mind is being thrown up in the air.  This picture captures the essence of childhood with a big smile on her, wind blowing through her hair and her fathers strong hands reaching towards hers.

It was important to capture pictures with their daughter and a family heirloom antique stroller, this little girls father and grandfather have each have photos with it.  Isn't it crazy to see how much strollers have 'aged' or 'advanced' in the last few decades?

I loved the second outfit change, perfectly colored dress and coordinated shoes, it complimented the location so well too.

A traditional family portrait rounded out the session...

The {I} Family - Thank you for allowing me to capture this special time in your life.  I truly have enjoyed seeing you grow from a couple to a family.  Your daughter is just a bundle of joy and is so full of life - a true testament to her parents.  Enjoy the next round of milestones and, of course, enjoy your images!  xoxo
