With senior season wrapped, I’m back to photographing all the other special milestones I love. And this one was extra special. Lacey and John brought their beautiful family to La Purisima Mission for an engagement and family session, and they made it so easy to enjoy.
As an introvert, meeting new people can be a little intimidating, but I’ve been lucky. Every new client this year has been kind, open, and fun to work with. Lacey and John were no exception. I loved seeing the way their family interacted, each personality shining through in its own way.
And then there was their three-year-old. This kid had the exact kind of energy that reminds me of my younger brothers growing up—nonstop, unpredictable, and hilarious. I figured he’d wear out after we wandered all over the mission. Nope. He was still going strong and asking to see the animals again while the rest of us were ready for snacks and a nap. His sisters deserve an award for keeping him still just long enough for me to snag some solid family shots.
Lacey and John, congratulations on your engagement and this beautiful family you're growing. It was a joy to capture this moment in time for you.
