I first met Carolina last year when she so kindly invited me out to her property to document her niece’s sweet 16th birthday. This year, I had a wonderful opportunity to meet her family at her in-laws’ property! MaryJo and Dennis have a beautiful, fun, and lighthearted family. We started the session off with the very special two people who fell in love, and MaryJo and Dennis. We were able to capture just the two of them  and the love they have shared with each other over the past 50 years. That’s right, they are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! What an accomplishment. You can be more extended family sessions here.

I knew that I was going to be meeting Carolina‘s extended family, but I did not know that I was going to meet all of their puppy dogs! There were adults dogs and nine-week-old puppy dogs.  I made sure to get plenty of pictures of the doggies with their family!  (It would have been sad to try to keep them all out of the pictures because they just wanted to be a part of the fun!)  We were able to capture family pictures in the blooming almond orchard and then we went back at MaryJo and Dennis’ home and took some pictures in front of their red barn barn and with a beautiful blue pick up truck!

MaryJo and Dennis, you have an amazing family! Can you believe this all started from the two of you falling in love? Happy anniversary! I had such a fun evening with you and your family. Thank you so much for inviting me out to your property to document this very special time in your lives. I hope that these pictures bring smiles to your faces for years to come and I hope that these pictures are passed down for generations. I am so excited for you to see some of my many favorites from your family session on your property.
