Thomas Family Portrait - westlake village, ca

i rarely show up to my photo sessions on time any more. there is so much to do before hand and i never have enough time to take it all in...so i show up wayyyyyyyyy ahead of time and soak it all in. this allows me to be more apart of the portrait session than merely a picture taker. the family suggested this location for it was dear to their heart and the family recalled fond memories of long strolling walks in this park. never been there i was immediately pleased. the tree seemed to be begging me to photograph the family under its cooling canopy. lovely family and an a picture perfect day made this portrait come alive.
