Family Photos in Santa Cruz - Terry Way Photography

I am lucky to see the Malmborg Family for family portraits, the nicest family and the kids are so fun to photograph. I shot their weddings (both couples) seems like just last year, but they reminded me that it was over 8 years ago and when I see the kids and new one on the way, it makes me realize that I've been taking photos of them for almost a decade.

Thanks for coming over to Santa Cruz for the portraits last weekend!
I feel that I am honored to document their family as they grow!

It was hard to pick just a few photos of the kids to post here, they were great subjects!

Terry Way Photography, there is still plenty of time for your family photos. Indian summer is ideal for portraits!

The Galster Family Welcomes a new daughter - Family portraits- Terry Way Photography Santa Cruz

Always a pleasure to see the families of my wedding clients through the years and watch them grow! Dori and Gabe had me photograph their wedding at the Holly Farm about 10 years ago and I've been honored to document their family ever since.

Shooting family photos is a favorite of mine- here the Galster family, fresh with their new daughter - brought their classic car into the portraits.

The Argue family got together for a family holiday in La Selva Beach last weekend and took the opportunity of having everyone there to get family portraits taken on the beach. What a great family! Thanks for having me there.

Family Beach Photos in Santa Cruz of the Kay Family

Getting the family together for family portraits can be a challenge, but well worth the effort. The Kay family was able to get a date on the calendar this summer and although the evening was foggy, we managed to get some great shots!

We heart Terry Way. After casting about for a wedding photog, we found the referral here (thanks Lily Z!) and looked at his website and gave him a call. We met with a few photogs but he was our first choice. We both loved his photojournalistic style, my fiance was impressed with the technical aspects (i.e. able to take shots with backlighting -- some photogs back away cuz it can be tricky) But most of all -- he's fun to hang out with! He listened to all our (my!) questions, he has good ideas and he's hilarious. He really set us at ease, and we know he'll get along well with all out extended family -- which means he'll get great shots of them, not a bunch of stiff looking portraits. All our interactions to date have been great. (friendly, yet professional, etc) We're looking forward to getting the photos from our wedding.

I put together a short (15 minute) video from my recent trip to Mexico. Check out Casa La Marea if you are looking for an awesome honeymoon location. Tell Roger you saw it here!

Air Assault Bonny Doon Fire ~ Images By Terry Way Photography

I shot a wedding yesterday at Greyhound Rock. (near the heart of the fire zone) and passed this impressive scene going down at Scott Creek beach. Cal Fire was in full air assault rotation with squadrons of choppers dipping into the ocean for water and dropping their loads on the inferno burning the hills north of Santa Cruz. Surprisingly, the wedding was sunny and free of smoke!
