Family: Lemerond at Old Poway Park

I first met this awesome mom and her oldest daughter in Key West when they were visiting family. So I was super excited that now two years later we live in the same city and she contacted me to take family photos. I can’t say it enough, I LOVE my repeat clients and capturing growing families. As a military spouse I usually only live in one city for two or three years. It obviously makes it difficult to have repeat clients when we are moving all the time so it was great to see our worlds collide again in beautiful San Diego. This session took place at Old Poway Park - which is a hot spot for holiday photos.

We had to work around many, many photographers and families, but I am always up for the challenge. Their oldest daughter was very shy and didn’t want any photos taken of her. I tried all the tricks in the book, but I don’t blame her - there was a lot going on! So after walking around the park for a bit we made our way to some fall leaves where she was able to be herself, a fun energetic kid and play in the leaves! It was great to see her smile and be in her element.

We may not have gotten all the perfect posed photos, but we did get a lot of fun candids and captured the memory of this time in this family’s life. We all know kids grow super fast so I always recommend hiring a photographer yearly! So grateful they chose me to be their photographer! I am so bummed I won’t be here next year to capture more photos as we are moving to WA state, but perhaps our paths will cross again in another city.
