The vineyards were just starting to change into their beautiful autumn foliage at Nesseré Vineyards in Durham, CA. The smoke from the recent fires had cleared from the skies only to reveal the beautiful golden hour sunlight for this fall family portrait session. Everyone arrived right on time and stepped out of their cars in coordinating outfits. Nesseré Vineyards has beautiful rows of vineyards that circle around a beautiful entrance to their building. If you have never been out here, it is worth the short drive from Chico, CA.
The youngest son was very photogenic, and he even wanted to be involved in the couple portraits between Andrea and Ken. There is a son in middle school, and he went with the flow and did whatever his mother wanted him to do. Andrea kissed him on the cheek, and he tolerated it. He hugged his brother and smiled for the camera. He is the smartest and coolest middle schooler ever. Having a happy mother makes for having a happy house and family! The oldest son was very easy going and patient. He even put up with different locations and a wardrobe change. This whole family was careful and happy throughout their session.
Andrea and Ken, this Durham location was perfect to capture the love between you two and your family. You all made this be a fun afternoon, and I truly enjoyed my time with you. You have a wide variety of pictures to document this moment in time. You both have done a wonderful job in raising your children, because they were all so kind and sweet to me and to each another. Everyone looked amazing in the wardrobe you selected for this session. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your family this fall season and allowing me to spend time with your amazing children.
