San Francisco Family Portraits: Trent & Chelsy

Baker Beach Family Portraits
This was not an average family portrait session by any stretch of the imagination. My brother lives in Folsom, CA and asked me if I would fly down to shoot his family portraits. Of course I said yes! There was a catch though... They really wanted them shot at the beach. The gorgeous Baker Beach in San Francisco is a two hour drive (without traffic) from Folsom. Northern California was in the middle of a five day storm cycle so taking all of the kids on a four hour road trip in questionable conditions had me a little nervous!
Luckily, when we arrived, it wasn't raining. It was cold though! It was 50 degrees with a 30mph wind coming off the ocean. BRRRR!!!! The conditions weren't perfect, but we made the most of it. We snapped a few posed portraits before little Lucy had to go to the car. After that we just played around on the beach. The boys had a blast chasing the waves across the sand!
This shoot was a good reminder that things aren't always going to perfect, but who cares?! Just show up with a good attitude and a big smile and great things will happen :)
