I was honored to photograph the Doerr family for a warm family session at home in Tallahassee, Florida. They welcomed baby Leighton a few weeks ago and invited me over to photograph her in her space and at their neighborhood park down the street.
7 Best Photoshoot Locations in Tallahassee
Stephanie’s Dreamy Maternity Session at Maclay Gardens State Park
I have a growing list of places around Tallahassee I want to photograph.
Goodwood. The Grove Museum (seriously, how is it that tucked away on North Monroe?). The canopy roads. Wakulla Springs. Florahome-style spots that make you feel like you stumbled onto something.
I want to grow a collection of prints from this area, and I am genuinely curious what spots matter most to you.
What are your favorite places around Tallahassee and the surrounding communities? Drop them below. I want to hear what this place means to the people who live here.
Beat the heat, caught the light, captured the love. Another beautiful morning at Dorothy B. Oven Park. ☀️📸

250 years from now, someone in your family will find a photograph.
They won`t know about the chaos of this season — the packed schedules, the grocery runs, the ordinary Tuesdays. But they`ll see a face. Your child`s face. And they`ll know exactly who they were.
That`s what an heirloom portrait does.
This summer — the year America turns 250 — I`m creating Heirloom Portraits for a small number of families. Timeless, simple, and made to last generations. I`m even having them made of my own four
kids for exactly this reason.
Because this season of your child`s life deserves more than a photo on your phone.
July 12th. A few spots remain. Details in bio.
There`s a version of this summer that lives only in your memory.
The age your youngest is right now. The way your kids are with each other this particular year. The trip where everyone finally made it to the same place at the same time.
I`m not saying that to add pressure. I`m saying it because I think you already feel it, and sometimes it helps to hear someone else say it out loud.
These seasons are worth more than a blurry phone shot taken between sunscreen and dinner reservations.
If you`ve been sitting on the fence about booking a vacation session - or about Heirloom Portraits for your kids this summer - I want you to know that the planning is simpler than it probably feels right now.
Reach out. I`ll walk you through everything.

Our country turns 250 this year. I was in the middle of editing a gallery when that number actually stopped me.
I have four kids - 6, 11, 15, and 17. And I have spent years telling other families that childhood is fleeting, that these seasons pass before you`re ready, that photographs are one of the most meaningful ways you hold onto them.
I`ve said it hundreds of times.
And then I sat there and realized I needed to take my own advice.
So this summer, I`m photographing all four of my kids in what I`m calling Heirloom Portraits. Not elaborate. Not trendy. Just simple, timeless portraits that show exactly who they are right now, in the year America turned 250.
Because someday I want them to be able to show these to their own kids and say, `This is who I was that year.`
That thought made the decision easy.
I opened up a small number of spots for other families to do the same. Details are linked in my bio if this is something you`ve been quietly wanting.
