It’s always such a joy to meet new families, and this time, I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely T. Family! They’re locals here in San Francisco, and—small world—I actually went to school with one of their siblings! It’s always fun when life brings these unexpected connections full circle. We met at the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. It was that rare San Francisco day—no fog, no wind, just the right balance of clouds and breeze. Little D. is such a sweet boy to photograph, full of giggles and surprise kisses that made the whole session feel even more special. His joyful energy lit up every frame. The T. Family was truly amazing to work with—kind, relaxed, and full of love. I’m so grateful I had the chance to capture these memories for them!
