When that California “June Gloom” comes rolling off the Pacific, you jump in the car and head over the hill to the coast! At least I do. That dreamy fog layer is something else! It swirls about and settles gently overhead, creating beautiful lighting opportunities and a little reprieve from the valley heat. And wouldn’t you know, we lucked out with one of those kinda mornings for this Bay Area Coastal California Family session. It was perfect ~ the weather of course, but even more-so, the incredible company. This beautiful family are “goodness” in very sense of the word. (The kind of mama that sends you home with fresh cut flowers from her garden. That kinda goodness.)
We spent most of the afternoon outdoors in their dreamy, multilevel backyard space. A space that provided the ultimate haven during a year of being quarantined at home. Gosh, I wish I had been quarantined here! It is magical. There are beautiful flower beds and fresh herb gardens. A large, open patio is framed by towering, sweet smelling eucalyptus trees. There are spaces to lounge in the sun and rest in the shade. A white-washed, naturally-lit, backyard art studio is perched high above the garage. It is all just so pretty. We took our time, walking about and chatting, stopping every so often to capture some images.
At the end of our session, we found ourselves in their front garden. Not “by” it … pretty much “in” it. Those gigantic flowers were absolutely unreal. And they smelled incredible. So we climbed in (ever so careful not to disrupt those blooms). It was such a fun (and beautiful) way to end our time together! I drove back home that late morning, just as the sun was peaking through the clouds, with a full heart. All my senses surely awakened. A wonderful time with a truly wonderful family. ~ Kent Avenue Photography
