There’s something really sweet about documenting a family during a season of transition, and the Schuette family’s session at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park felt like a beautiful way to honor their time on the Central California Coast. As a military family preparing for their next relocation to Florida, they wanted to capture the redwood landscape they had come to love while living in California. With their two young boys, the session was full of movement, curiosity, and those playful moments that naturally unfold when kids are free to explore. The towering redwoods created a peaceful, grounding backdrop, adding a sense of calm and depth to the images while still allowing space for connection and energy. We kept everything relaxed and unposed, focusing on genuine interaction and the way their family feels in this season of life. For families looking for a Santa Cruz family photographer, locations like Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park are a stunning setting to document memories that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
