Rosales Family

It was such a joy getting to see the sweet Rosales family again! It's been a whole year since I last photographed Kat, Miguel, and little Lucas, and goodness, so much has changed! Lucas has grown SO much and is now walking! He is seriously the cutest little guy, and it was so fun getting to capture this new stage of life for their family!

We met up at one of my favorite locations, Verbena Fields in Chico, and it did not disappoint! The golden sunlight filtering through the trees was absolutely dreamy and gave us the prettiest glow throughout their session. Between the beautiful light, sweet family snuggles, and Lucas exploring on his own two feet, there were so many adorable moments to capture!

One of my favorite things about being a family photographer is getting to watch families grow and change over the years. It's such a gift to document these little milestones and create memories that families can look back on for years to come.

Kat and Miguel, thank you so much for trusting me to capture another season of your sweet family's story! I loved getting to spend time with you three again, and I hope you love these images as much as I do! 🤍
