One of the many reasons why I feel blessed to the job that I do is being able to take pictures of the people that I care about. Alisha, Dale and Drake are some of those people. I was so excited when she asked me to take their family pictures!

Our original session date was cancelled do to some extreme rain we had going on at the time. I was so bummed. We had to wait for another month before we were able to do their session.

It's not really a secret how much I love Eschbach Park for sessions. There's so much to that park that I never get tired of shooting there. So when Alisha asked me where we should do their session, of course that was the first place I named.

Their little man Drake has a lot of energy, but posed for pictures like he does this everyday. Their family dog Blue also sat for a couple pictures and waited until the very end of the session to jump in the water, very considerate of her :)

Here's some pictures from their session!

I loved that Gloria came up with the fun idea to have her and her daughter wear tulle skirts! It was such a cute, fun, out of the box idea and I love shooting out of the box ideas. She told me her husband and daughter had just done a father/daughter session and she wanted to do one with her and her daughter, but not until she came up with a good idea. Personally, I think she nailed it! She also wanted to do the session at the new Davis High School, which I have not shot at. I wasn't sure how the school would serve as the backdrop, but it turned out great. The school grounds really are pretty amazing.

Gloria's daughter, Aolani, is such a beautiful little girl. She has such an infectious laugh. She kept giving me this very skeptical look, which eventually turned into a laugh. She does have that skeptical look down though :)

I had such a great time shooting Gloria and Aolani and their tulle skirts! Here's a few pictures from their session.
