I first met this beautiful family when they welcomed their second son into the world. Their firstborn was a toddler at the time, full of boundless energy, making it a beautifully chaotic experience to include him in the photos with his newborn brother. Little did I know, this was the beginning of a beautiful journey together. ❤️
A year later we met again for their first full family session. Their little one was now full of giggles and curiosity, wide-eyed at the world around him. We chose a small park right next to their home to make the session as fast and smooth for the boys as possible. The golden hour light was dreamy, but what truly made the session shine was the connection between them—playful, tender, and deeply loving. Watching their bond grow from those first newborn days was an honor. Looking at these giggles and snuggles now, you would never guess the chaos that preceded each portrait. 🤭
By the time our third session came around, there was a special announcement—this beautiful mama was expecting their third son. The boys were as energetic as ever, and instead of worrying about perfection, we leaned into the love, capturing their uninhibited excitement as they snuggled up to mom’s growing belly.
As the holiday season approached, I had the joy of photographing them again—this time with their brand-new baby boy, just days before Christmas. Their two older boys were full of energy, curiosity and excitement. But as always, we were able to capture them with the whole family for their special Christmas and Baby Announcement Cards. The rest of the time was dedicated to the new baby. Mom wanted to see him in some festive outfits (look at this cutest snowman!). My favorite is the yawn. How adorable is he?!.
Our most recent session was a whirlwind of fun—Valentine’s Day mini sessions. Now with three boys in tow, this mama had her hands full! The little ones were thrilled to be in a new space, eyes lighting up at all the new things around them. With all that excitement came boundless energy, and let’s just say, things got wild! But as I’ve learned through the years of photographing this family, the best moments happen in the chaos. With bubbles, lollipops, and my best dance moves, 🤪 we managed to capture their infectious joy. ❤️
Mom loved the images so much that she had to have them ALL, AND asked me to create a beautiful heirloom signature album to preserve these fleeting moments forever. Check it out below!
Working with this family through five different milestones has been a reminder of why I do what I do. Life with kids is unpredictable, and no session ever goes exactly as planned—but that’s what makes it beautiful. The messy, the joyful, the imperfectly perfect moments—they are all part of the story. And capturing that story, year after year, is an honor I cherish.
