The Portillo Family

Allison, I was thrilled to see you again for another mini session with your family.

Especially so close to Elias’s first birthday. Can you believe that it’s been a whole year since you, Juan, and Eva were anticipating his arrival? You had a feeling he was going to come early. And he did.

I have moments when it seems like my boys were babies just the other day. Then reality knocks on the door and I remember that three of the four are grown and out on their own.

Having joyful family photos like yours is the best way to keep the childhood memories alive. I can picture you sitting down with Eva and Eli, photo album in hand, to relive stories of their early years.

There are so many photos filled with joy from our time together that I’m hard pressed to pick a favorite. There’s Eva peeking out from behind Juan. Elias’s chubby little cheeks and baby teeth as he laughs in delight. The tenderness in your eyes as you gaze upon Eva and lightly kiss her hand.

I could go on but I’m certain you’ll have your own favorites that spark joy in your heart.

So, here are just a few of my favorite photos from your fall mini session at Thomas Reservoir. Enjoy!

Gear used during this fall mini session: Think Tank Backstory 13, Canon 5D Mark IV, and Canon EF 50mm 1.2L.
