The Alfano Family ~ Coronado Family Portrait Session

If you are one of my dedicated blog readers, “The Alfano Family” is something you have seen on my blog previously. A few months back, I photographed The Alfano Family in Balboa Park. Recently, I got an email from the fathers brother telling me that his family, also named “The Alfano’s” would love to team up with me for a really fun “Coronado style” family portrait session. Let me point out that “Coronado Style” is a popular & fun beach portrait style where the families always wear white shirts & blue jeans. I am a fan of this style and it was exciting for me that they wanted the “Coronado Style” added to their session.

One thing I always look for in my surroundings during a shoot is shooting in a small space and creating it to look much larger than it really is. During our session I found a random brick wall in the park and we decided to use it for some shots. Don’t you just have to love random brick walls in your shooting space? Yes, Please!!

Tom Alfano & his amazing wife Rose have one daughter, Maddie. They made our session so much fun and it makes me smile even writing about them because they were one my faviorate family sessions to date! They allowed me to try new shooting techniques that worked perfectly and Maddie kept running around and making funny faces into my lens and eventually I bursted out in laughter and that opened up a large bucket of fun for the rest of our session!

Thank You to the Alfano Family. I had so much fun with you & I cannot wait to hang out with you again sometime!!
