The Rodrigues Family | Sunset Hillside Session in Lafayette, CA

The Rodrigues family traveled all the way from Southern Texas — and while their hometown is beautiful in its own right, it’s a very flat part of the state. So when they started dreaming up family photos during their California vacation, they knew they wanted a backdrop that felt totally different: rolling hills, golden grass, and that glowing California sunset.
We chose a stunning spot in Lafayette, CA, tucked in the East Bay, where you get sweeping views and soft light just before sundown. It was the perfect setting for their sweet, connected family moments — and their outfit choices could not have been more on point. The flowy floral dress, soft pastels, and casual layering gave everything a dreamy, cohesive look.

​Booking a photoshoot while you're on vacation is such a smart idea. You're already relaxed, together as a family, and soaking up somewhere special — why not capture that memory forever? Whether you're visiting Northern California or you’re local and hosting loved ones, this is the kind of experience that makes your trip even more meaningful.
Rodrigues family, thank you for trusting me to freeze this moment in time for you. I hope every time you see these images, you're transported right back to this golden hillside evening.
