After a while, families in the Santa Cruz area have done the beach shoot, done the forest shoot, and are looking for something a little different. Enter the rustic farm-y destination of Wilder Ranch, just north of Santa Cruz off Highway 1. I last photographed this family about 10 years earlier, so it was a bit of a shock to see the kids all grown up, but so great to reconnect with this lovely family. We explored the old buildings and pastures and had a great time making new family memories in a unique Santa Cruz spot.
