Cherished Moments in a Beloved Park { Family Photographer, Marin CA }

Last week, I enjoyed capturing a mini session at a playground that holds so much meaning for a truly wonderful family. The park is nestled right next to their house—a place they frequent with their sweet toddler son. This session was particularly sentimental because they’ll be moving soon, and they wanted to preserve memories of this special spot that’s been such a big part of their lives.

It was such an honor to photograph them again, especially after being part of their journey through their maternity and newborn sessions. Their little boy had the biggest smiles as he ran around the playground, climbed slides, and soaked in all the fun. It was pure joy—nothing posed, just genuine moments of laughter and love showing what life is like for them. And let's not forget their sweet dog, who had just as much fun being part of the adventure!

This session was a beautiful reminder that it’s not about perfect poses but about capturing life as it truly is—messy, joyous, and filled with love. What a gift it was to freeze this piece of their story forever.
