Capturing Joyful Moments | Fall Photo Session in Clayton, CA

What's my number one tip for great family photos? That's easy: Just have fun! During your session, it's best to let go of any expectations of perfection and focus on truly connecting with your family. Run, hug, twirl, tickle, snuggle: these are some of the ways you can genuinely connect and produce those sweet, heartwarming photos you're dreaming of.

Parents: be sure to keep a smile on your face! Children can be unpredictable during a photo session. You may be worried that they aren't "behaving." But in the moments between their naughty or shy or "crazy" behavior, we are sure to capture some amazing genuine smiles, sweet expressions, and the beautiful authentic reflections of their unique personalities. You want to be ready in those moments, and not be scowling or frowning!

This Fall Photo Session in Clayton, CA in the Mt. Diablo foothills was full of playful interaction, silly tickles, and lots of movement. This kept the kids engaged, added depth to the photos, and helped produce a beautiful gallery showcasing the love between the family members.

I love this location for its ease of access- just a short, easy walk up the hill- while still providing the look of a beautiful wide-open hilltop with stunning views!
