When first talking with Michelle about her family’s upcoming family photo session, two things were clear. First, they wanted to tell the story of getting outside and exploring with their two daughters. Second, this was a family completely in love with West Marin and Point Reyes.
After moving to the area in the summer of 2024, I’ve become increasingly excited about photographing families in the farther reaches of Point Reyes National Seashore. So after learning a bit from Michelle, I proposed a documentary-style session at Kehoe Beach.
Getting a family out the door, driving an hour, walking a couple of miles, and then taking photos is a huge ask, to be sure. But the rewards are worth considering – pristine beaches, open skylines, clean air, abundant wildlife, and relatively few people.
We agreed that everyone was up for the challenge and, most importantly, that the challenge was part of the story we wanted to tell. A story of what it means to grow up in Marin County.
In Michelle’s Words…
“Working with David was an amazing experience every step of the way. Communication and planning was easy and organized. Shoot day was natural and fun. I’m so impressed with how David was able to capture our family’s essence in one session and deliver a gallery of photos that feel truly inspired.”
“My kids warmed up right away and my five year old daughter told me how much she liked David mid way through the shoot. If you’re looking for a Marin based photographer, you’ll love the Enloe Creative experience. David is thoughtful, kind, cool and the images he will capture are works of art. We will definitely book again in the future.“
This Is Why
This is why I photograph families – because want you to remember how it felt.
If you see beauty in the chaos, if you want to remember the whole rollercoaster that is childhood + parenthood, I hear you.
