How cute is this guy?
His nickname is Ry! Which is short for Ryan, and if you don't love his smile you're lyin'! This adorable family has been waiting since September for these family photos! Kathy and I used to work together at San Jose Family Camp near Yosemite, California and when I was in town last September we planned to do these photos. Then the horrible forest fires happened in California and when I visited the sky was literally orange! Our beach photoshoot was postponed because they recommended that no one spend time outside given how bad the air quality was. But everything worked out, because we caught a GORGEOUS spring day at Calero Park in San Jose just as the sun was setting, and I got to take photos of these friends of mine AND meet their son for the first time! (I know - I waited too long to see that adorable little face!) Again, I feel lucky to have friends whom I've stayed friends with over years and years. SO long that I watch them become amazing parents! And Kathy and Greg are definitely fantastic parents. You can tell by the smiles, the love, the way they hold each other in tight for hugs. This is why I love being a photographer. Capturing love in photos. Thanks Kathy and Greg for trusting me to take these photos. Hope you love them as much as I do!
