Celebrating Big Changes with the Amazing Jones Family

I met the amazing Jones family at Baker Beach on a beautiful San Francisco afternoon. Mom Kelly had corralled her boys (Dad Steve, Oldest son Justin and no so little one Jake). Meeting with a photographer may not have been at the top of the list for the Jones boys but I can definitely understand why Kelly did the necessary arm twisting. Turns out Justin is leaving for ASU in the fall so this is clearly a very special summer for the Jones Family.

Spend any time with the Jones’s and you will learn two things very quickly. First they love each other and are really proud of one another. And second, little Jake has an endless supply of energy. I don’t think he stood still for more than about a second the entire time we on the beach. Quite the site to see.

Thank you Jones family. I had a great time and I hope you have a fabulous summer.

And he’s off!!!! Family portraits with Charlie, Cara and Scott

When Cara told me that Charlie loved to run from the Ferry Building to the Ball Park, I thought she was exaggerating a bit like all parents do (myself included). All children run and play right? Boy was I wrong.

Charlie runs and I mean he runs everywhere. In the Ferry Building, down the piers, along the Embarcadaro, and up and over cement blocks – he ran and ran and ran. Literally he was a streak of arms, legs and a great big smile.

It was awesome to see and his energy made for a great family portrait session. I definitely have to give props to Cara and Scott – they have such a great attitude and just kept up with him where every he went. And they definitely know how to be flexible. When we lost the sun at the Ferry Building, they suggested going up to their home in Potrero Hill which turned out fabulous. If you don’t know, Potrero Hill has amazing views of San Francisco and great afternoon light.

Of course, that gave us more time to photograph Charlie running.

Thanks Cara and Scott and good luck keeping up with Charlie. If I were you, I might consider stock in a running shoe company. I think you might need a few pairs in the years to come.
