Stackle Family Portraits | Leo Carillo Ranch Historic Park

Updated: Mar 11, 2021









Meet the beautiful Stackle Family! We had a great time exploring Leo Carrillo Park in Carlsbad. I had never been before it they had been but only many years ago! This session was a bit of a change for, as usually I'm working with small kiddos! A middle and high schooler are a whole different ball game! The sun was shinning and the park was not too busy so we got to use a variety of spaces on the property to give the family lots of options. My favorite spot was here along this pathway with cactus and trees all around!







I always make sure to shoo the kids away for a few minutes to capture just mom and dad! I had Jenny and Mark start on the other side of the bridge and walk towards me while bumping hips! Its important that we get the smiling, looking at the camera photos, but I love when the real emotion shines through too!

Of course, you can't forget parent photos too!

After each session, I meet with clients for a Reveal and Ordering appointment. At the appointment, clients see their photos for the first time and get to decide how they would like to display and enjoy their images. Below is mock up example of the kind of artwork clients can order for their homes. These are Float Framed Canvas which are one of my favorites! This particular style is a heather gray color and the frame is rustic wood.


It can be hard to visualize what a portrait will look like in your home or to know what size is appropriate. At the Reveal and Ordering Appointment, we're able to create a design like the one below so you can be confident that you'll love your artwork in your space.
