Studio Maternity Film Portraits Chico California

As a mom, it feels easier in the moment to not get in front of the camera and I totally get it!

Chico California Family Lifestyle Photographer - Spring Family Photos - Carranza Family

This was my last Chico family photo session before having my second son Oliver. It was extra special for me for a number of reasons. Number one was because this was a family session with two boys that are the same gape that my two sons are. It felt like a glimpse into my new reality and make me so excited to watch the bond grow between my sons just like these two boys.

Second, Ashley had worked in the wedding industry with us and it was such an honor that reached out wanted to capture this sweet season of her family out on their beautiful property near Butte College.
