Point Lobos Carmel California Photography // Tommy and Shanee
Shanee, Tommy, and Layla were so fun and playful. Tommy and Shanee have a lot of memories together at Point Lobos on the California coast and even told me about some new locations for my family and me to visit. I had so much fun finding the light with this sweet family, they indulged me and stopped almost every two feet when I found better light. I know as my family grows the number of photos of my husband and me diminishes, I always try and get photos of mom and dad alone during these full family sessions. getting together in nice clothes with kids isn’t always stress-free but I think we will look back at these photos and be so glad we spent the time to take them.

They’re built around experiences.
At Flora Gibson Photography, I approach engagement sessions like a quiet story unfolding—something you step into, not perform.
