We feel so blessed when couples reach out to us to capture their first official family photos with their children. So when Lisa + Arnold asked us to document their first family portraits at Balboa Park in San Diego since the birth of the gorgeous firstborn Laila, we knew our time documenting their family unit would be special.

THE LOCATION: BALBOA PARK SAN DIEGO

Balboa Park in San Diego is an incredible 1,200-acre urban cultural park filled with beautiful gardens, trails, museums, shops and eateries. It is the ideal spot for a lovely stroll and absolutely perfect for portraits with so many beautiful corners and green pathways.

Here are some of our favorite images from this beautiful family’s portrait session in San Diego …

Laila is truly a beautiful blend of both her mom and dad — she’s such a natural in front of the camera!
