Last year we snapped some photos for this couple's 5-year anniversary, and when they told us they're expecting their third kid (a boy!), we were so excited for them! Summer outdoor photo sessions in the Bay Area can get pretty hot, so it's a good idea to pick a spot with some shade, different kinds of trees, and if possible, a bit of water. Vasona Lake Park in Los Gatos was the perfect location for this summer outdoor maternity session.

At first little sister was a bit shy, which is totally normal for kids at a photoshoot. But after playing some games (like racing under the blanket or running around their parents), they began to have fun and enjoy themselves! And those smiles definitely made US smile as well during the shoot. (A win-win!)

If you're searching for a summer family maternity photo session location in the Bay Area, Vasona Lake Park in Los Gatos is the perfect spot!
