This family was my FIRST family beach session of the season and they didn’t disappoint (neither did Mother Nature with the perfect beach sunset). My passion at family session is getting images that are REAL. Often times that’s when the kids direct…lol.
These two were so much fun. There’s nothing better than capturing a family in all its glory just…being themselves. THIS is where my photography journey is taking me. It’s what I want to capture all the time….and more information will be coming about that soon. For now, enjoy two of the most adorable twin boys and their sweet parents too.
So, this post is following my newly professed love for lifestyle newborn sessions at home! The GREAT news in that an at home session doesn’t HAVE to be a newborn session! The child can be any age (I mean, even at newborn sessions I always ending up obsessing over the adorable big siblings anyway). When I had my nursery contest over the winter, I technically was searching for newborns, but I had many entries that came from already born babies. This sweet girl was actually about 4 months old a the time I chose her fabulous space as a winner. Her mom and I agreed that it might be sort of fun/rewarding to wait until she was actually pulling up/sitting up/smiling/laughing and interacting with her nursery…and I am SO glad that we waited! The images were adorable. Nine months really is such an awesome ago to get a session done. I loved the personal touched to her unique room, and we had a blast together. Don’t you just love it??
It’s no secret that my photography has made a slight shift over the past year or so. Yes, it’s true…I have fallen completely in love with a lifestyle approach to a family portrait session, especially with newborns at home. What does this mean exactly? Well, I will still strive for a few traditional posed shots of your family/children, but my heart lies more in capturing you in your natural environment, just being you, with more of a focus on your connection. My passion in photography has become about telling your story, not just taking your picture. I guess the photos themselves will speak better to describe this new and exciting change (but it’s not really news if you have been following me).
Simply stated, if you are booking me because of the pictures you see on Facebook and in my portfolio–then I am the photographer for you. <3 Over the next few weeks I am excited to work with Courtney Keim to update my blog (not rebranding–just a refresh), and update my portfolio to reflect my style and passion better.
For now, enjoy this beautiful family/newborn session welcoming a new baby sister. I am totally in love with the images!!
Being present when a new baby is brought into this world is none other than the most amazing and exhilarating feeling you can possibly experience. Documenting it….like nothing else. Doing it for a friend–the best. Every little moment counted, and it’s all right here forever. I love that. I love that I was there to get all those moments for the mother and father so that they could be present–and be only part of the experience–not forced to document it too.c
I love it so much, I think I want to do it more…for clients. Granted, it will be on a very limited basis, but it’s an exciting avenue that just opened up. I can’t wait to see where it takes me!
