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.

Carmel Engagement Session
Carmel Engagement Session

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

California Redwood Elopement

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!
