The Li family photoshoot at Jeffrey Trail, Irvine, was pure satisfaction! This adorable family of five recently arrived from China, and their love for each other was truly contagious. While Arleen wanted to capture the bond between her, her hubby, and their kids, it was Grandma and Grandpa Li who stole the show with their infectious laughter and joy. We had a blast exploring the beautiful Jeffrey Open Space Trail, resulting in over 700 photos and a final gallery of 90 amazing images that showcased the family's incredible connection. Arleen was obsessed, and honestly, so am I!

WHY JEFFREY OPEN SPACE TRAIL IS A PERFECT LOCATION FOR FAMILY PICTURES

The Jeffrey Open Space Trail is exactly what its name suggests! It's a trail along Jeffrey Road that spans over 4 miles, from Portola Parkway down to the 405 freeway. As a family photographer here in Irvine, I love this trail for many reasons. I love all the little parks and cozy nooks it offers along the way. I also appreciate that it passes through so many communities, making access easy, and ensuring it's never crowded.

The Li family loved their session there, and their photos clearly show it! Their energy was fantastic, and the trail's colors and beautiful landscape complemented them perfectly.

Irvine offers many different parks throughout the city, but the Jeffrey Open Space Trail will always be the first location I recommend to families looking for that woodsy, rustic vibe.
