Jeffrey Trail in Irvine was the perfect setting for the Young family photoshoot! It's honestly one of my favorite places in Orange County to shoot! With the beautiful fall colors, it was a picture-perfect place to be. Ashley looked beautiful, as always, and her boys were dressed for the occasion as well! I know these photos are going to look incredible on her walls – the kind of photos that make you smile every time you see them. Can’t wait to work with them again soon!

WHY I LOVE JEFFREY OPEN SPACE TRAIL IN IRVINE FOR FAMILY PICTURES

I've been a family photographer here in Irvine for over 10 years, and every time I take family pictures at Jeffrey Open Space Trail, I get excited!

There are certain times of the year that I prefer, but generally speaking, you can pick any date on the calendar and be super happy with how the photos turn out.

Jeffrey Trail is a 5.4-mile stretch of a beautifully paved pathway that runs alongside Jeffrey Road. The trail itself is full of cozy little nooks, open grass fields, and underpasses. Every time I feel like I've photographed at a certain spot, all I have to do is take the family down a few steps, and I feel like I'm in a brand new location!

One of the biggest draws for my families who choose Jeffrey Trail is that it's so close to their homes. Parking is a non-issue, and the location is gorgeous! It's never too crowded, and if there is a little bit of traffic, people are more than happy to move out of the way.

All in all, this has to be a top-five location for me as far as family photography session locations go!
