Firstly, this family is near to my heart because they were one of the first families I got to work with when I first started my photography journey! This is the third time they’ve been back since. It’s always such a joy to walk alongside my clients through different seasons of life – it’s actually my favorite thing about photography.
Second, I’ve been wanting to do a family session on this rooftop in Downtown Fresno for over a year. I knew the neutral shades of the area and the Fresno cityscape would be such a fun location to capture a family. Most people would shy away if their photographer asked them to meet at a parking garage for a family session, but Acacia + Enrique packed up the kids and made it such a fun experience for them.
Third, Acacia is an expert at styling her boys’ outfits. She has a keen eye for pairing different shades, and letting certain textures pop! You can see for yourself with their photos below.
I always aim to make my sessions reflective of each family’s current season of life. For Acacia + Enrique, that meant letting the boys roam around the rooftop. The Godzilla soundtrack was the perfect background to their exploration.
Some of my favorite places to shop for styling kids’ outfits are Old Navy, GAP, Zara, and Target!
I always try to get a few of just mom + dad in there too 😉
I know I share a lot of my work with weddings on here, but I do still offer family sessions as well! It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as their families grow + change.
