CHOWCHILLA, CA…Springtime magic! Capturing this beautiful family on 35mm film among the almond blossoms as petals gently fell was a dream. I first photographed this couple’s wedding in Greece, where we ended up splashing around in the water. Fast forward a few years, and now there are two little humans and a fur baby in the mix! It’s incredible how quickly time flies, but these moments — full of love, laughter, and nature — will forever be treasured. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this wonderful family.
