jen | john | cate | braden | arroyo grande family photography

jen and i have been casually talking about doing family portraits since early this summer. for one reason or another it didn't happen until now, but i'm so happy to finally have had the chance to capture this family's personality. as usual, our session was more like running around and playing with the kids than a 'pose and say cheese' marathon (although we did get smiles out of cate by saying 'pleeease')

and big brother? look at those eyes!


pure sibling sweetness. cate loves braden and braden loves cate.
