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.

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!

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.

Nicole and Samuel eloping on the picturesque Oregon Coast was magical. The day began with their emotional first look and concluded with a heartwarming ceremony at Secret Beach. With the luxury of a whole four hours, they were able to soak in every moment of their special day. The couple's easygoing demeanor and deep connection created an atmosphere of unforgettable moments and intimate photography.
