Location: Lovers Lane, Presidio, San Francisco
Getting to photograph Carina and Alan’s family session was such a treat—especially meeting baby Nolan for the very first time. His curiosity, tiny expressions, and all-around cuteness made the afternoon feel light and playful as we wandered through Lovers Lane in the Presidio, surrounded by tall trees and soft, filtered light. Carina and I have been friends since elementary, middle, and high school, so being there to photograph their City Hall wedding and now their growing family feels incredibly full-circle. Watching them step into this new season together, with Nolan exploring leaves at their feet, was one of those quietly meaningful sessions that reminds me why I love documenting families over time.
