We're suckers for sister photoshoots because we love being sisters and the bond we share with our two other sisters! (When we were young, our mom used to sing to us the song "Sisters, Sisters" from the movie White Christmas--goes to show you how old we are!)

This was a big year for the family as they had one high school graduate and one NYU college graduate, graduating within weeks of each other! Their mom was telling us that the whole week was go-go-go with all of the celebrations and commemorations (and they still had another sister's birthday to celebrate that week as well!)

They chose Filoli Historic House and Garden in Woodside for their photoshoot location and we loved getting creative with their photos! They showed us their Pinterest inspo and we caught on to their photoshoot inspiration!

Because it was a Saturday in the spring (Filoli in the spring is so beautiful but holy moly it is SO crowded!), we suggested a morning session to avoid the crowds. Even as early as it was, there was still a line to get in but we were able to photograph these girls without worry of getting a ton of people in our shots.

We love when our grads are hesitant at first but when we show them just how beautiful they are in a photo we took, their demeanor shifts 180º and their confidence level appears!

These two have such a sweet relationship with each other and we know their sisterhood is special – no matter where either land in career or education, they will always have each other as a built-in best friend.
