Family Photos: the Wolffs (Berkeley, California)

I met up with this lovely family in Berkeley, where all of us had a great time exploring the Botanical Gardens. There were so many great photos throughout this session, that it was hard to narrow down the choices for a blog post. Looking through them I am so drawn to the big smiles, laughter and sweet relationships between the family members. Enjoy!

Whenever possible, I always like to take time to get a few photos of just the parents. This relationship is so important to the entire family unit and I want to take time to appreciate their bond too!

Family Photos: the Coates (Berkeley, California)

This is one just one great family and good friends to us. I got the chance to capture all of them together at the Tilden Botanical Gardens in Berkeley, California. Looking back through the photos, I couldn’t help but smile at some of the moments captured – these little glances and interactions add up to a lovely family relationship.

Engagement: Tiffany & Curtis (Berkeley, CA)

Choosing the perfect words for these two is difficult. I remember when they started dating, meeting Tiffany for the first time, and being excited that Curtis found a girl just as cool as him. It’s been a pleasure to watch them grow together, bring out the best in each other and hear the engagement plan before it ever happened. You see, Curtis is already family (my brother-in-law) and Tiffany will soon be family (yay!). More importantly, they’ve also become my friends and a great part of my life.

I love capturing emotion with my camera, that’s why I shoot weddings and engaged couples, but it’s a whole different level of awesome when I get the chance to capture a relationship I’ve watched over the years.

Since I have done shoots with them before, we decided to go somewhere with a little more variety, the Botanical Gardens at Tilden Park, Berkeley. As always, it’s hard to choose just my absolute favorites to post.

Congratulations Tiffany & Curtis! Truly, so excited for you both!
