Petaluma Family Portrait Photographer -Petaluma Childrens and family Portrait Session- The Sarno Family

Usually to get kids to warm up I have to try to act silly to get them to open up… but the Sarno kids have more personality than you can imagine. These kids are hilarious.We had fun romping in the leaves and cracking up at each other. Love the Sarno family and wish them the best!!

 

Petaluma family and children’s photographer, The Craft Family Photography Portrait Session

Well, this family is just the cutest and I had fun getting some shots in their backyard with their cute doggie, Taxi.  What a great name.  I was amazed we found some leaves on the trees still and took advantage of golden hour.  Can’t wait to see some of these hung on their walls of their gorgeous home!

Family and Children’s Portrait Photographer -Petaluma, CA

To say I love 😍 this family is putting it mildly. O’Meara is the epitome of grace and beauty and her and Bill Cover‘s daughter’s reflect their kindness and radiance. We managed to laugh our way through this photo shoot capturing everyone’s personalities, get a headshot of O’Meara Cover, lifestyle photos and great family shots to be revealed after the holidays.

I love shooting family portraiture in my hometown of Petaluma.  There are so many great backgrounds for family portraits and children’s portraits around this historic town.  The Low Family is a very artistic and theatrical group so we had fun doing different set ups in various areas around town.

Family and Childrens Portrait photographer in Petaluma, Lifestyle and documentary. Sonoma, Sebastopol, Marin, Healdsburg. Cover Family Photography Session

The Covers family portraits were shot in the mustard fields of Petaluma in Sonoma County.  I photographed them in an artistic style for a photo session in a local magazine called Historic Life of Petaluma.  These photographs were shot photo journalistically and  laid out in an editorial style with a write up of this beautiful family and the Foundry Wharf which is a warehouse district the Cover family owns down by the Petaluma River.  The Foundry Wharf houses Aqus Cafe and many other business and boutique shops. Photographing the children was a delight as I let them run around their parents properties and shoot them in true photo journalism style which is how I think kids convey their true selves.

If you haven’t visited Petaluma in Sonoma County in the fall then you should put it on your list and if you can schedule a family and children’s portrait photography session than you are golden. The fall colors are gorgeous and there are so many trails to use as backdrops in your family portraits with using just natural light.  These two little girls are adorable and they had so much fun running up and down the hill we were on.  The key is to make children’s portraiture fun so you get their little personalities at their best.  Here’s to making memories!

Petaluma Family and Childrens Portrait Photographer in Sonoma County. Annika and Leif.

What’s more incredible than a persimmons tree framing a little rustic shed?  I was ecstatic when I discovered it and I photographed Annika and her son in an out of the shed with natural light.  I love being a family portrait photographer in Petaluma  because the surrounding areas have endless backdrops for portrait photography.  This happened to be on a lot behind a Christmas Tree Farm in Sebastopol.  Beautiful momma whom I adore and her son Leif.  Portrait photography perfection. xoxo

Petaluma Family and Children’s Portrait Photographer in Sonoma County. The Bailey Family.

The Bailey Family has no shortage of personality with these darling children which makes shooting their family portraits so fun and dynamic.  I love how they wore flower crowns in their family portrait shoot and we walked deep onto the hillside at an open lot in Petaluma to take advantage of the verdant foliage abound.  I mean look at these adorable girls and their parents aren’t so bad either.  Renee is the sweetest momma ever and I’m happy to be their family portrait photographer.

A family portrait shoot in Petaluma in Sonoma County. Love taking family and children’s portraits under the live oak trees of Petaluma.  Being a family and children’s portrait photogapher I get to scout out the most obscure locations for their backdrops of their family portraits.  I love the natural light cascading in throught the leaves to highlight them.  Just look at these stunning faces…
