I’m such a huge fan of the Christensen family, and today this adorable family session is featured on 100 Layer Cakelet! Josh is the owner of Sidecar in San Luis Obispo and Lauren is the gorgeous face and creative talent behind Lo Boheme, Penny and the Hawk, and Stag Handmade. Their kiddos Penny and Cash are two of the sweetest little ones on the planet. I had the honor of photographing them at the Dana-Powers House, where Josh and Lauren were married. The last few photos of them walking at sunset was where Lauren walked down the aisle to Josh! Time passes too quickly and children grow WAY too fast, so book your San Luis Obispo family photos stat!!! For the month of July only I will be offering 10 family portrait sessions at over half off my regular fee (to date there are only 5 spots left!). $225 will include the session fee and the final edited images. Your session can be anywhere between Santa Ynez and Paso Robles without any additional travel fees! These sessions are fun and playful and full of family cuddles. Parents, don’t worry about your kids not looking at the camera or running around – sometimes those make the best photos! If you’re interested in one of the spots, email me!
