Capturing Memories at Glen Arbor Park

Tricia reached out to me with a heartfelt request—her family hadn’t taken portraits in years, and she was ready to change that. Like many moms, she was the driving force behind getting everyone together, and she gave me a friendly heads-up: her husband wasn’t exactly thrilled about being in front of the camera.

Before every family session, I guide clients through a simple and thoughtful process. This includes a consultation to understand your vision, followed by a questionnaire, custom quote, and contract. I also provide location recommendations and outfit suggestions tailored to the setting.

For Tricia’s session, I chose one of my favorite fall portrait spots—Glen Arbor Park in Murrieta. This location is a hidden gem, with lush greenery, towering trees, and golden leaves that perfectly capture the warmth and beauty of the season.

The session was relaxed, fun, and full of genuine moments. Despite his initial hesitation, Tricia’s husband ended up enjoying the experience—and the photos even more. Tricia was thrilled with the final gallery and already mentioned booking me again for their next round of family portraits.

If you’re thinking about updating your family photos and love the idea of a natural, scenic backdrop, Glen Arbor Park is a fantastic choice—and I’d love to be your photographer. Reach out today to start planning your session!
