Emilie and Daniel | An Engagement Session from the Family Ranch

Emilie's family owns a huge ranch up in the foothills outside of Fresno (or Clovis I guess) so when it came time to shoot their engagement session we headed for the hills.  After a quick stop to catch some of the last orchard blossoms of the season, we made our way to the ranch.  It was a very cool spot, complete with one of those cool old weathered barns.
