Family // Sunset Session at Hap Magee Park

 

There is nothing cuter than a toddler with their puppy. It was very fun to shoot with Sarah, Dave and Shane. I’ve known Mojo, their dog for as long as they have had him and I secretly get kisses from him every time we meet. We have a bond, let’s just say that, and I don’t mind one bit! Shane is so adorable, full of energy and smiles. He loves to play outdoors and hear his mommy sing or play the flute.

We chose Hap Magee Ranch Park in Danville, California. It is a beautiful location and known for a few historic buildings. Some of them date back to 1911 when a camp was established here for a SF orphanage. There is a playground, dog park, bridge and several areas to explore. I highly recommend it in late fall.

A girl and her horse in a field of flowers

 

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Melissa of Horses Healing Hearts and her daughter, Hailey. We brought along Grady, a white palomino under the care of Horses Healing Hearts. He is up for adoption and looking for a forever home. He was such a wonderful horse to work with, took direction quite well and was calm and loving on set. I know he will find a loving home, because he is a true gem. To find out more information, please visit HHH Facebook Page, Twitter, or website. I'm obsessed with these photos ladies, thank you for a great shoot. I'm working on a composite for my thesis and I'm so excited. Soon I will post some before and afters, a few of the images below have multiple images in one (blowing of the flowers had 4 shots in one). Enjoy!!!
