fun family session
Mud Run Kids Obstacle Challenge. San Mateo Family Photographer
My kids were anxiously counting down days till today. When I first told them I want to sign them up for the Mud Run Kids Obstacle Challenge, one of them started to cry. When I asked her why she’s so upset about it, she answered:
I don’t want my shoes to get dirty!
I just couldn’t believe it. My daughter doesn’t want to get dirty!?!? As girly as my girls are, they are also pretty okey with getting quite dirty.
I signed them up anyway. 😜
From that first day, full of crying and saying “I don’t want to do it!”, I was able to make them pretty excited about it. And the last week was nothing but the same question over and over and over again:
So, how many days till the Mud Run?!?
While feeling like I’m going to cough my lungs out for the last couple of days, I was pretty happy to hear my girls excitement. Because I wasn’t having it.
But rain or heat or sickness; I think if we didn’t go there today, that would be one of the biggest disappointments of the whole #ewelinassummerbreak2017
And of course the girl who was so upset about getting all dirty… Didn’t get dirty. She found her away around it, and simply didn’t crawl in the mud, and took her jump pretty easy as well. The older one went for the whole experience.
Me on the other hand, as soon as we got to the muddy parts, I took the camera from my husband’s hands and found myself an excuse for not getting dirty nor wet. Ha!
As my daughter described it:
In my imagination I saw it as a very small event, with just a few kids running a small course.
And she was really surprised to see the crowds, and even more excited to be a part of it.
This is definitely something we are going to do again!
Both kids agreed, myself included (hopefully feeling a little better next year, though).

Googleplex – Mountain View, California – Family Photographer
Being a photographer in Silicon Valley allows me to work in such great locations as Googleplex – Mountain View. Having so many clients who work in Google allows me to get where public can’t (most of the time). HA!
Recently, one of my clients, who’s been with me for many, many years announced her family is moving to Colorado. She had some credit left on her Annual Membership so we came up with two amazing sessions for her family. One was her 10th wedding anniversary (which will be blogged shortly), and the last one was family session at Googleplex in Mountain View.
When I arrived to the address they gave me, I saw them all standing in Google colors t-shirts and I immediately knew this is going to be epic. Well, it always was with Jen’s family, so I wasn’t surprised.
I love the goofiness of this family. During each session we had together they had the custom to make silly faces, and our last session wasn’t any different. (well, hopefully it’s not our last last session.lol)
Because no session is perfect without a silly faces picture.
It’s sad to see a family I’ve worked with for years go. From newborn and cake smash session to many fun family sessions and hosted together events I documented this family grow stronger and more beautiful with each year.
I hope to be able to get together sometime and create wonderful memories for this family in the beautiful scenery of Colorado. We just got back from a road trip to Grand Junction (where I shoot a wedding), and all I can say is, I WANT TO GO BACK THERE!
And if you’d like to get an amazing customer service and amazing nails for your next photo session shoot a message to Jen and she’ll definitely take care of you!!!

Fun Family Session {Family Photographer, San Jose, CA}
You know it’s a good session when in the middle of it one of the parents says: “Now, Let’s do something fun”. They all deserve a standing ovation but most of all the white hair angel, who came to the session sick and despite of not feeling well, she simply rocked my socks off.
