Rooted in Love ~ A Filoli Garden Family Session

On the day I had the honor of photographing this extraordinary family, life was in motion at an intensity few could understand. Despite the whirlwind of emotions and responsibilities earlier that day, they made their way to that historic garden estate for this Filoli Garden family session. 

With so much on their plates, they could have easily let the day slip by. But instead, they chose to make this moment, this memory, happen. It was clear that, despite the challenges, they deeply understood the importance of seizing every opportunity to be together and preserve these fleeting moments. With love radiating from every part of their being, they showed up, proving that no matter the circumstances, the love of family and their desire to make memories remain steadfast.

These sweet brothers are unreal. Their love for one another is effortless ~ an unspoken, unbreakable bond that is felt in every pure moment they share. I am always so in awe of them.

That afternoon, Mom and Dad were along for the ride, embracing that joyous (boundless!) energy as the boys explored the rose garden, climbed trees, and walked the stone wall at sunset. Throughout the session, it was impossible not to admire their incredible partnership and love. They were in sync, pouring their energy into making this moment special for their family. As they celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, their unwavering bond stands as a powerful reminder of the deep connection they share. Their dedication to their family and ability to rise to any occasion with grace and unity is truly inspiring. It is such a privilege to capture their love with so many unforgettable moments.

Photographs have a way of reaching into the quiet corners of our hearts, don’t they? They are not just images; they are precious markers of time.   As life unfolds, moments like these, filled with love, laughter, tenderness, and connection in its purest form, become even more valuable. In years to come, I always hope these photos will serve as a reminder of the beauty and strength that defines your family, preserving not just the faces, but the very heart of this chapter. And the incredibly radiant Heneghans?  Well, they have more heart than words could ever express. ~ Kent Avenue Photography
