It was wonderful to meet the J Family for an early October session in North Park. I chose this spot, as I’m currently obsessing over this strong, magnificent tree, but also because of it’s symbolism for an extended family session. The branches may sprawl out in different directions, but in the end they come from the same sturdy trunk, and are nourished through the same strong roots. A great metaphor for family.

As it turns out, this corner of North Park is one the family drives past regularly. An ordinary part of their day, which will now remind them of this time spent together.
