When we lived in California, a dear friend who is a professional photographer took our annual family photos. I’ve been missing having those mementos so when I saw a local photographer was offering family photoshoots on airbnb, I contacted him and set a date. We met up on Wednesday afternoon in Óbidos, a small town located on a hilltop, encircled by a fortified wall and a well-preserved example of medieval architecture. Simply beautiful! Here are a few of our photos of the town.

The photographer, Gonçalo Costa, took a ton of beautiful photos, so I divided them up into a few different groups and put them in slideshows, for those of you interested in seeing them all. Enjoy!

Here are the ones with all six of us…
