Baby Joy | Tallahassee, Florida Newborn Photography

Tallahassee, Florida| Newborn Lifestyle Portraits
April 15, 2018 Newborn & Family

Little Joy was 14 days new when I came over to meet her and photograph her family. Her big brother is smitten with her and her mama is beaming with… Joy (no pun intended). Little Joy was a little snuggle bunny and quickly fell into a sweet, deep sleep once she was swaddled. Capturing newborn sessions make my heart melt, and this one was so special for a variety of reasons. I’ve known this family for a few years through our church where Amber and Dan work with the middle and high school students. This year, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Amber much better in the MOPS group we both attend. She’s beautiful inside and out and I’m honored to have been able to photograph them. They’ve made a gorgeous family together and I pray all of life’s blessings on them all.

Something I want you to sit with for a second:

The photos from your fall session are going to be on your walls this winter. They're going to be on holiday cards that go out to people you love. They're going to be framed, printed, passed down.

Years from now, your kids are going to look at those images and see themselves at this exact age, in this exact season of life.

You won't remember how uncertain you felt picking outfits. You won't remember the logistics. You'll just be grateful you have them.

That's why I do this work. And it's why I always tell the families I photograph: you have so much joy ahead of you. Let's make sure you have the photos to prove it.

Reach out at sarahgray.com/contact when you're ready.
Mini and Petite session booking is officially open for fall.

If you've been with me before, you already know how this goes - and I love that about returning families. There's a comfort that comes from working together again. You know what to expect, and I already know a little bit about your people.

If you're new here, this is a great way to get started. Low commitment, high reward.

Links are live at sarahgray.com/booking - come find your date.
There are certain places that just make everything easier.

The light falls right. The space feels calm. The family relaxes without even realizing it. 

I have been thinking a lot lately about the locations I keep coming back to, and what it is about them that works. Some are outdoors with gorgeous natural canopy and soft, open light. Some are quieter, more tucked away. Some I discovered by accident and now I wouldn't trade them.

What they all have in common is this: they feel true to the families I photograph here in Tallahassee and the surrounding area. Unhurried. Warm. Real. Give me all the "old Florida" vibes.

Swipe through to see a few of my favorites right now. Do you have a favorite spot around Tallahassee, or somewhere nearby that means something to your family? I would genuinely love to hear it - drop it in the comments or send me a message. I am always looking to grow this list.

Seen here are Goodwood Museum and Gardens, St. Theresa, Summer Camp Beach, Park Avenue Chain of Parks, and Dorothy B. Oven Park.
That’s not a filter. That’s the finish.

Editing isn’t about fixing something that went wrong, it’s the last step in creating the image. The light, the color, the feeling. It all comes together in the edit.

Raw files are a little like unfinished film negatives. They’re where we start, not where we land. What you receive is the image as it was always meant to look.

This is the part of the work I genuinely love. And it shows up in every single image I deliver.
