Quick #momlife story -- sometimes kids fall asleep on the car ride home, and it would be disastrous for all parties to wake your kiddo up. So sometimes, I drive to somewhere beautiful to enjoy the view and wait for my son to wake up so we can play. It turns out, when my little Noah woke up, we spent a solid few hours hiking around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park finding the best sticks to carry, the cutest flowers to pick, and generally just running around.

Naturally, I had to suggest this location to Nelson and Jennifer who were looking for family portraits with their baby boy, Nicholas. There is so much love here -- you can totally see it, goofiness or not. :) Thanks for inviting me to capture these adorable moments, friends!

If you'd like to schedule your very own portrait session, send me a message here or email stephanie@marilee.co. I work within a variety of budgets and most of all, I love what I do. :)
