Monterey California Family Photographer // In-home Lifestyle Newborn Session the Arellano's

Family Photos
Written By Flora Gibson

In-home family sessions in Monterey, Carmel, and Pacific Grove are quickly becoming my favorite way to document families. We make so many memories in our homes and it’s so rare we document them! I love looking back on old family albums and seeing how my grandma’s house looked or my home as a child. You never forget what home felt like as a child. Homes don’t need to be perfectly curated or free from any mess to capture beautiful intimate moments of your little ones. I’m making more of an effort this year to capture my own kids’ everyday moments in our home without worrying about epic backgrounds or perfect outfits, it’s about the FEELING! I had so much fun capturing Cherie and Pete’s beautiful family last week; both Monterey hairdressers at Hair 506 with style and home with the most gorgeous light! Thank you for welcoming me into your home to document sweet Luca and Cruz.

Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard were married in Big Sur this week. They had a private vow exchange by the river under the redwood trees in the forest of Big Sur, followed by an adventure on the coast, which we drove up the Ridgeline I saw the moon peek out above the Bixby with the golden field in the foreground. Then we greeted all their family and friends at the Airbnb. It was such an honor to document their love.

L & P eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement; they are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with overall charm. We started their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods; then, it was off to the cliffs and beach for a champagne toast at sunset.
