San Jose Family Photographer – A day of favorite things
There’s something so special about documenting a day that feels completely and uniquely you. That’s exactly what this awesome family wanted for their session – a family photography adventure that was all about their family fun, a real day filled with the little things they love doing together.
We started our session at their home while we got ready to make a trip to one of their favorite places — Michael’s! Yep, the craft store! Watching the kids light up as they browsed the aisles was so fun, they knew exactly what they wanted and it was so fun capturing those small moments of excitement, and pure creative energy. Even hanging out at the front of the store waiting for mom to buy their goodies was an incredible photo opportunity, who would have thought!
Next up: face painting time at home! The kitchen table transformed into an artist’s studio as paints and brushes came out. The kids took turns painting themselves and their parents. I loved the way mom got right in there, helping with designs and letting her face be a canvas too. These are the kinds of moments that turn into stories that get told again and again over the years.
And to end the day? Snuggles with the family pup at home, of course. The comfort of being home, surrounded by favorite toys, crafts, and cuddles, made for the most relaxed and real photos. This is the heart of what I love to do — capturing connection, joy, and the silly, sweet in-between moments that make your family yours.
As a San Jose family photographer, I believe the best family photos are the ones that feel true to you. Whether that means heading to your favorite store, splattering some paint around the house, or curling up on the couch with your pup — these are the memories worth preserving.
