Maternity Family Photo Session in La Jolla California Grove

Family smiles with their toddler in a La Jolla grove

The Gates Family were expecting their second little one and wanted to take photos as a family of three before adding their 4th member! We headed out to a pretty eucalyptus grove in La Jolla, California to chase their 1 year old around and capture some fun smiles.

I use all kinds of tricks to get the kiddos smiling from funny googly eye headbands to fart machines and squeaky dog toys. Whatever it takes to get your child’s attention on me with their smiling faces I am happy to do!
