A Season Taking Flight: Welcome Baby Audrey | Tallahassee newborn and family photographer

Baby number three always rocks the balance of things in a family. The parents are officially outnumbered. When babe #3 is also the first of the opposite gender, something special happens. It seems a new season is taking flight.

My own family experienced this change of seasons when our son joined us and his two big sisters. The time before he was born is marked in my mind as a distinctly different season in our family life.

The Clark family welcomed little Audrey to join her two big brothers. The photos of the three of them are some of my favorites.

This session also makes me think of one of my favorite songs from when my oldest daughter was born. Andrew Peterson writes some of the best and anytime I photograph a family welcoming a new baby girl, the lyrics of his song play through my head.  Here is a portion:

A Season Taking Flight

“And the leaves were turning gold and brown
And people came from miles around
To see her when she came to town
And then I turned and walked outside
And stood beneath an autumn sky
And felt a season falling
And a new one taking flight
My baby loves me so
She loves me as I am
She lifts her little hands
Her wish is my command
I’ll pick her up forever if I can.”
-Andrew Peterson/Randall Goodgame, My Baby Loves to Dance, from Slugs, Bugs, and Lullabies

Clark family, I pray that you love this new season of your family life.

Maclay Gardens in full bloom is one of those things that genuinely cannot be recreated.

Not next month. Not next year. Not by finding a similar spot somewhere else in town.

The soft pastel color, the light filtering through the canopy, the feeling of being completely surrounded by spring - it exists for a brief window, and then it is gone.

April 11 is the date. Five spots is the limit. When those are filled, that is it for this spring.

If you have been wanting to get your family photos updated and you keep waiting for the right moment, this one is worth paying attention to.

Link in bio to grab your spot before the blooms move on without us.

My dad was a hobbyist photographer when I was growing up.

Not a professional. Just someone who paid attention, picked up his camera, and kept a record of our family over the years.

Those photos have given me something I did not fully understand the value of until I was older - glimpses of moments that would have otherwise just faded. Seasons of our family`s life that I can actually see, not just try to remember.

That is a big part of why I believe what I believe about this work.

Your family is your legacy. The people in your life right now, at this exact age, in this exact season - they deserve to be beautifully preserved. Not just for you, but for the people who come after you, who will one day look at those images and feel the warmth of a family that showed up for each other.

That is what I am here to help you do.

I’m still sifting through all the December sessions and have so many favorites to share. Thank you to all my families who trusted me to be a part of their photographic legacy. It is an honor and I never take it lightly.

Here’s to another great year!

Tonight I had the first session of the year! It was beautiful. I’m not sure if I love this warm January or not, but it sure made this maternity session more comfortable.
