Presidio Park San Diego // Family photo session https://www.contoursofhearts.com/blog/2020/9/presidio-park-san-diego---family-photo-session I'm so excited to share some highlights from a recent family session in Presidio Park!

Two years ago, I was photographing Vanessa and Michaels's first baby maternity session. A year later - family pictures with their little baby girl, who is now a big sister to another sweet little baby.

This is one of my favorite things – the privilege  of photographing families as they grow and change over time!

This sunset family session was filled with so much gorgeous light, love and laughter! I had a great time with this SF Bay Area family, who were visiting San Diego for few days and stayed in La Jolla! It was the perfect day to go out and explore surroundings as a family. Just look at their sweet smiles! I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to document them!

Sweetwater River Trail Family Mini-Session https://www.contoursofhearts.com/blog/2020/1/sweetwater-river-trail-family-mini-session I’m thrilled to feature Meesh, Tino, Ezra and Elijah, a family of four on the blog today! I first met Meesh in the 2010 and then I photographed maternity photos the late spring 2012, few years after we've done second maternity shoot and their second baby boy's newborn photos.

Fast-forward to December 2019, and I was so happy to see Meesh’s name pop into my inbox again and to do a family session!

For me -It was so exiting to see how much the boys had grown since I last saw them in 2017

This is one of my favorite things – the tremendous privilege of photographing families as they grow and change over time,to capture the stories of their life as it shifts and settles and grows in love.

Family Holiday Mini Session // The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe https://www.contoursofhearts.com/blog/2019/11/family-holiday-mini-session---the-bridges-at-rancho-santa-fe This is the seventh year I've had the privilege of photographing this gorgeous family, and watching their girls grow has been a complete joy.

While they've gotten taller and more independent, one thing has stayed the same- their affection for one another and their parents.

Sessions like these make my heart sing!
