Ranger Turns One : A Family Session in Yosemite

It has been a dream of mine for a very long time to do a shoot in Yosemite and my dream finally came true a few weeks ago! Yosemite is where I first fell in love with photography… strolling through the Ansel Adams gallery in the village at around age 12 or 13, I then returned to Yosemite every spring with my family and shot roll after roll of 35mm black and white film, trying to recreate what Ansel Adams captured decades ago. I was so excited when Meghan and Andrew said they were up for traveling to Yosemite with us to do a family session in time for Ranger’s 1st birthday! All of the falls are dry this time of year, but the meadows were still a vibrant yellow-green and the blue granite mountains never cease to disappoint. We did their shoot just  before sunset and wrapped up with a little mini-shoot of just Meghan and Andrew to celebrate their 3rd wedding anniversary. These are some of my favorite family photos in my favorite location of all time! Enjoy. :)
