I had the pleasure of working with this lovely family last summer when they were all together and was thrilled when they hired me again this summer to record some of their family time. Haven’t these girls grown? They were just as adorable this summer as last, and the change in location to a spot up the canyon in Three Rivers was just lovely. I see many more sessions at this gorgeous location in my future!

This session was an absolute ball to shoot and I am so enjoying all the edits! This sweet family lucked out in scheduling with me during the nice wave of cool weather we’ve been enjoying lately here in Visalia–highs in the 80s? Yes, please! Combine the cooler temps with a first thing in the morning session to accommodate a toddler schedule (sunset is typically a no-go with little ones this age) and we really had a perfect session, weather-wise.
Then we got to add this gorgeous family and adorable not-quite-two-year-old who is just so full of spunk–her little personality was a hoot! I can’t help but smile and laugh to myself as I’ve been going through all the images. Such a little joy.
And would you believe that mom is only four weeks away from giving birth to baby #2? Doesn’t she look fantastic? Little Miss E playing peekaboo around mommy’s belly was just adorable–her expressions just kill me.
This family portrait would be fantastic as a huge gallery wrap canvas–can’t you just see it hanging above their fireplace?
As you’ve probably noticed from the blog, I am primarily a color photographer. I love capturing all the vibrancy of childhood and family life, but with each session I always find just a few images that tug at my heart and beg for a black and white treatment. Isn’t she just the sweetest thing in this?
And, saving the best for last, the image on the right below is my absolute favorite from the whole session. Mom’s goal before the shoot was to capture their family as it is now, just before they become a family of four. With the mom and dad’s adoring expressions, gazing down at their little one and Miss E’s cute little glance up at the two people in the center of her world, I was totally smitten with this image. This is their family today. Perfect.
A quick housekeeping note–mini-sessions in August and September are filling up fast. Don’t miss out on this fantastic deal!
I know it’s July and you’re not even thinking about your Christmas cards yet, am I right? Jani Photography will be super busy this fall with this and that, as well as a new little baby boy scheduled to make his appearance in early October, so now is the time to get your family portrait for your card and gift-giving scheduled.
I’ll be holding two days of mini-sessions with limited bookings available each day. Here’s the details:
All for only $75. I have big plans for the natural setting–there will be several different portrait set-ups available to choose from as well as just a simple nature setting. Think shabby-chic chairs, quilts, vintage wood, and lots of and lots of character. Or select the urban option and we’ll create your images in a non-traditional location for something truly unique.
Best of all, you’ll be able to select your family image and create your own cards, gifts, heck, even mouse pads if you so desire! The digital option gives you ultimate control over what to do with your favorite family image.
Mini-sessions are available for one immediate family only, up to six people. For more than 6, you will need to purchase two mini-session time slots.
Head on over to the Jani Photography facebook page for a chance to win one of these minis–all you need to do is comment on the facebook post announcing the sessions.
To schedule your session, please email jan@janiphotography.com or call me directly at 331-8253.
I’ve known Bee of Moddy Bee for the last few years. Her youngest daughter and my middle one have been in preschool together, so we’ve chatted over drop off and field trips and had the occasional girls’ night out. This session was a complete treat for me, in spite of the fact that we met up at 7pm on the hottest day of the year this far! Let me tell you, she looked waaay better by the end of the portrait session than I did–I think I walked through more sticker bushes and crawled around on the ground more during this session than I have in months. It was all worth it, though–check out the results!
