As a family photographer, I know that family sessions can be unpredictable, especially when the weather is not on our side. But as I always say, trust me as your photographer, and we’ll create something beautiful, even in challenging conditions. And that was exactly the case with the storytelling family session I recently had in Sonoma County, California.


The family wanted to capture their connection and love for each other in a natural and authentic way. We had planned to do the session with stunning rolling hills for our backdrop, it turned out to be a windy day, we embraced the conditions and decided to make the most of it.


Here’s what happened during our windy, but beautiful storytelling family session.


Location scouting


As a local photographer, I knew the perfect location in Sonoma County that would complement the family’s style and personality. We chose a scenic location that offered a stunning view of rolling hills for as far as the eye could see.


The Session


Despite the windy conditions, we started shooting, and the family was having fun and enjoying the experience. But as is typical with children, they can sometimes become uncooperative, and this was no exception. But I was able to connect with their son and create a playful and relaxed atmosphere, which helped him feel more comfortable in front of the camera.


The family’s connections were undeniable, and we captured beautiful images that reflected their love and bond. The wind even worked in our favor, adding movement and energy to the photos.


Post-processing and delivery


After the session, I carefully select and edit the images to create a cohesive visual story that reflects the family’s unique style and personality. The images that show their connection and love for each other in a natural and authentic way.


The family was thrilled with the images and said they felt grateful to have these memories captured forever.


In the end, a storytelling family session in Sonoma County, California, can be an unforgettable experience, even when conditions are not perfect. As your photographer, I will work with you to create a beautiful and authentic visual story that reflects your unique connections and love. So, if you’re looking to capture your family’s special moments, let’s work together to create something beautiful that you will treasure for a lifetime.
