THANK YOU!  I'm putting together limited Fall Holiday Mini Sessions and will be announcing in end of August.

N Family! Family session at Stanford University and Holbrook Park in Palo Alto

Another fun session in Palo Alto!  I have been doing lots of family session in South Bay these days, if you know me, I'm located in Walnut Creek, East Bay, about 1 hour from Palo Alto.   There are so many beautiful places in South Bay and Stanford University is one of my favorite! N family is returning to Japan soon and they wanted to create family portraits at the special places.   They selected Stanford University and Holbrook Park in Palo Alto, because those are the places they visited a lot to play with their son.  We had lots of fun and I hope these pictures will remind them their fun time they spent here in California! 今回は、メンローパークに駐在されていた、N家族様の撮影です。撮影は日本への帰国4日前に行われました!場所は、家族でよく遊びに行った思い出の場所の、スタンフォード大学と、パロアルトの Holbrook Park でした。ご帰国前に、素敵な思い出の写真ができたのではないかと思います。また、世界のどこかでお会い出来る日を楽しみにしています!
