Palo Alto may be known for it’s tech companies and it’s well known university presence, but there are hidden gems dotted throughout this verdant city. This sweet couple wanted to celebrate their new addition to the family amidst the colorful blooms of Gamble Garden, a free community garden area on a historic property.

Every season there is something new to see at the gardens, so anytime is a good time to photograph at this location. In fact, these portraits were taken in October!

One of the sweetest parts of this session was that they brought their two golden retriever fur babies! So sweet, and always enhances our sessions with the whole family present for the portraits.

We recommend coming to this location either early morning or golden hour for the best light. For less people and potentially more access to the venue, we would say morning is best since sometimes private events are held by the historic house and areas are blocked off from the public.
