A Man and His Motorcycle (Photo Shoot) @ Vasona Park, Los Gatos, CA

A Man and His Motorcycle (Photo Shoot) @ Vasona Park, Los Gatos, CA

This fine gentleman wanted to print a photo of himself on his motorcycle for his adoring granddaughter, so I helped him pick just the spot for the portrait session. The fall leaves were ablaze when backlit by the sun, so the timing for this morning shoot couldn’t have worked out better. The client was thrilled, and I imagine his granddaughter was, as well.

I love repeat family portrait clients – it means I am continuing to serve my community well, and clients are excited about what I can produce for them. It's not easy having family photos taken (I know, I've got three kids myself), so I appreciate the effort made by small families like Sam and Shaina here to get dressed up, take time off from work, and meet me at the beach to take some photos, regardless of how crazy their day/week/year is going. I pride myself in being quick, efficient, and getting the best side of peoples' personalities without being forced or awkward. It's just a matter of patience and experience, I think. It was great having Shaina's parents and sibling's family out for this year's family portrait session – a greater challenge, for sure, but worth it!

Below are some of my favorite photos from the family photography session. Thanks for checking it out!
