San Diego Family Photographer | the Walton family… at home

Joe and I met Neal and Tracey soon after we moved to Mission Beach when we were first married.   We were both newlywed couples without kids.  I changed that and got pregnant with Tucker a few months after we met.  But Tracey and I were pregnant together for my second and her first.

Last year, they had their fifth baby.  A darling little girl.  When she was just a few months old, she suffered a brain aneurysm and ended up finding out that their baby had a brain tumor. They have been through a lot this last year.  More than I could ever imagine.  I have been wanting to give them a family photo shoot for months and we finally did it.

It was so fun to see them all and to play with their kids (who loved being in front of the camera).  I haven’t done a family session at someone’s home in so long it seems and it just reminded me how much I love them.  Everyone comfortable at home… it’s my favorite setting.

So of course I have tons of favorites.  I really love the black and whites.  Some shoots I am drawn to the color images and some I just love those black and whites.

this next one is one of my favorites of all the girls

This shot was supposed to be of just Julia.   But a certain younger brother and sister were dying to be in her shots.  This one just cracks me up.

Neal and Tracy… thank you so much for the great afternoon.  I really had so much fun capturing your family and all their cuteness.
