The First Time | El Segundo Family Photographer - Michele Sylvester Photography

One of the local schools reached out to me through my website, to request a donation for their silent auction to help raise money for the school. Of course, I would! Local schools and youth sports are very important for me to support. It’s an investment in our kids so it’s a no brainer for me!

Ms. Mary contacted me to book their first ever family photo session before their oldest daughter got braces! The location was all set, Library Park, a special park to the family. It’s right across the street from the high school and the venue for many fun activities that the city hosts.

I usually try to make it a point to get at least a couple of mom and dad alone together. It makes me giggle a little to “surprise” them with that suggestion and sad when I hear that the last time they took photos alone together was their wedding!
