Rain Boots and Backyard Chickens

I’m so excited to share this Family Day session from San Francisco.

When the Goodwin Family reached out about taking family photos in their home, I was over the moon. 3 beautiful, wild-haired girls zipping around the house? Sign me up.

There’s something so special about seeing a family unwind in front of camera with me. We started with taking photos painting watercolors and getting eggs out of the chicken coop. After hanging around the house, we headed to their favorite hiking trail at Mount Diablo near their home.

I even carried one of the girls, Violet on my back and got mud all over my jeans. It was truly one of the funniest moments I’ve had with a family. Violet promised to give me some pennies when we got back to the house for my jeans- I never got the pennies. But I got a deep appreciate for the Goodwin family and their openness, inviting into their homes and a glimpse at their life.

With a Family Day session we have time. There is no sense of rush or a schedule to follow. I am simply along for the ride. I shoot primarily all on film and that process is also so fun to share with children as they look into the viewfinder.

I hope to venture to San Francisco more often and get to meet families as rad as this one.
