A Beautiful Family at Stanford University

When I first spoke with this mom on the phone, I immediately enjoyed her personality and could not wait to meet her and her family!

They selected Stanford University for their session and though I hadn’t been there since Student Council Leadership camp 20 years ago, I was excited to go.

What I hadn’t realized was how BEAUTIFUL the campus was!!!! It was definitely not what I recall seeing back in high school. :) It was a PERFECT, elegant background and the family came appropriately dressed.

I have an unexplained weakness for arches when it comes to portrait sessions so I was having an Ariel (from Little Mermaid) "aaaaaa" moment when I saw these arches!

Aren’t they a gorgeous family????

Their older, sweet, beautiful daughter was such a great sport in spite of the cold weather and jumped right in front of the camera when I told her I was ready for her.

Baby sister is just a few months old and just as beautiful as big sister.

This gorgeous gold-leaf accented building was so pretty that we HAD to use it as a background!

You have to love sisterly love.

I think baby sister was telling me she was done with the portrait session! Winking smile
