Cox Family // Marian Bear Memorial Park

As I drove down the highway on this warm summer day, I realized how much I enjoy taking road trips to new locations. This particular session was located in beautiful and sunny San Diego. For drives like these I tend to bring the whole gang along.  They get to explore while mom works, the best of both worlds if you ask me. I was especially excited about this particular session because I was getting a chance to capture my sweet friend Wendy's family. Now Wendy being a fellow photographer, was excited to actually be IN the pictures with her family rather than behind the lens. 

After a two hour drive along the Southern California cost, we made it to the beautiful Marian Bear Memorial Park. This park was a complete beauty! Filled with trees and brush all around. The sun was high but the rays that peeked through the leaves and branches were breath taking. Once you were within the park, the sound of the busy highway was muffled but the sound of the wind whispering through the trees. 

Wendy and her husband, David, arrived with their four children: Timmy, Benji, Ruby & Gabe.  All in matching outfits, but the best part was the fact they were ALL barefoot! That was definitely the best part. 

Capturing moments of Wendy with each one of her children individually was a must! These are the memories I know she will treasure as her children grow. During the entire session, Wendy was not only patient with all her children but was so loving,  I was so honored to have witnessed her in complete motherhood action. 

Her husband David was also such a pleasure as well as he did not shy away from showing his love and affection for Wendy, which was so beautiful to have captured!

Thank you Cox family for allowing me to capture a small glimpse of your beautiful life. And to my sweet friend Wendy, you are truly a supermom full of LOVE and GRACE!
