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.

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.

What Is Lifestyle Newborn Photography?

by sarah@sarahgray.netPosted in Family Photography, newborn

Home: Baby Jack is here | Sarah Gray Photography, Tallahassee, FL newborn and family photographer

Each mama has their own, natural way with their children. Some of us are silly and playful, some are real active and vocal, others are quiet and strong. These are all excellent qualities. I tend to lean on the silly and loud side. In our house, we wear our hearts on our sleeves. This isn’t always an advantage. This session’s mama is in the quiet and strong category and a big part of me wishes I had more of that meekness in me. Her children can rest in it and their home was peaceful. I’m also under no illusion that ANY home is always like that. Life with littles in hard and we all reach our limit. I love when I get a glimpse of families whose flavor is seasoned with that gentleness I so long to taste. It is everything “home” to me.

Throughout the entire 20 minute session, I’ll be snapping pictures of little moments that give your final gallery that blend of portrait and casual  “lifestyle” sessions.  These will be a blast.  One of the greatest compliments I get from clients, aside from them loving their pictures, is that their session was fun!  A fun session helps your kids personality shine.

Made Awake-Baby Harbor | Sarah Gray Photography, Tallahassee, FL Newborn Photographer

I’ve been holding onto this beautiful session for a while. I photographed Sarah and Harbor a few months ago and was completely honored when my favorite motherhood online publication accepted my submission for a feature on their blog. It’s such a stunning session and I’m so excited to be among such a beautiful collection of motherhood photographers with a likeminded heart for motherhood and its role.
Please go take a look at my feature on their site and then get lost in all the beauty that The Fount Collective shares.  I share my heart for photographing motherhood there and I’d love for you to read it all. Here’s a tid-bit:
“I am passionate about photographing motherhood because I am passionate about the sacred roles of motherhood. Something miraculous happens in our hearts when we have a baby to call our own. A part of us is made awake that seems to have been resting. A dormant, secluded section that, once aroused, quickly seeps to overflowing all other areas of our heart.”
You’ll have to visit The Fount Collective to read the rest and see more beautiful images from this session.

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.
