Mini Session: The B Family

Super fun family alert!

It was my first time photographing this group, and they were up for pretty much anything.

When I said, “Hold hands in a line, spread out, and do a little twisting and wiggling and dancing,” they did.

When I said, “Green light!” they took off.

When I said, “On three, look at the funniest person in the family,” they did.

We took some portraits in the vineyard, too.

Such a beautiful family in a gorgeous location. Thanks, B Family, for an easy breezy mini-session!

Mini Session: The K Family

It was so special photographing this sweet family again — this time we met up at Vina Castellano, a beautiful vineyard and winery in Auburn. I first met the K Family at a local preschool when our oldest boys were four years old. Now those 7-year-old boys are playing soccer together on Saturday mornings. And coincidentally, their younger siblings (both 3 years old) are currently attending said preschool and had fun playing together at last Saturday’s soccer game.

Time marches on, doesn’t it?!

Mini Session: Headshots for Raquel

Did you know I take head shots? Most of the time, it’s during a family session, and I’m always happy to take a new head shot for mom or dad. Or both! This time, though, I was able to dedicate 20 minutes to taking photos of this beauty, Raquel, as well as a few shots with her mom.

After Raquel viewed her photo gallery, she sent me this message through Facebook: “Jennie! Thank you! You did an amazing job! We love the pictures.”

It doesn’t get much better than that. I’m happy that Raquel and her mom are happy!

Mini Session: The F Family

I started off my afternoon of mini sessions at Vina Castellano Vineyards with this adorable family of three. Mom is an elementary school teacher who is friends with my husband’s cousin — and she is also a teacher!

Isn’t this little guy the cutest?!

He is 10 months old — with the drool to prove it.

This is one loved little boy.
