This is the second time that I have shot the Griffith’s family pictures- the first time was at Torrey Pines and we knew that was going to be a tough location to beat. There was one shot in particular from that shoot that was just a show stopper with the beautiful hill rolling in the backgrounds. So that meant that choosing the location this time wasn’t going to be easy. After going back and forth we finally ended up settling on Marian Bear Park. It seemed like all hope might be loss when we ended up at different parts of the park- but after a little encouragement we found each other and continued on with the shoot! I am so glad we did because the day was beautiful and Marian Bear Park didn’t disappoint- just like always. One day when I have time I want to explore that park and see what other hidden treasure might be hiding there. For now, I definitely have my favorite spots.
The Griffiths and I actually go all the way back to college days. We attended the same church for a while and had similar circles of friends. The fact that we both ended up in San Diego really was a great coincidence. It has been fun to reconnect and to have pictures be the reason and way for that. The kids are just as sweet as can be and really easy to photograph- hence all the family pictures where all the kids are looking at the camera, because we all know how hard that is with 4 kids. They rocked it though, seriously. Belinda, I hope you enjoy the pictures!
