Reider Gray, 2 weeks old

Okay, so… my little family welcomed our own little newborn into our fold just four weeks ago.  In true “newborn mom” style, I am just now getting around to sharing some of the pictures from my “big camera” that I took of him at two weeks old.  I, like so many of my clients, want to remember all of the little tiny details of my sweet baby boy.  There are sure to be more pictures of him as we grows.  We are so in love and are trying to take it all in and remember each sweet smell and each passing phase.  I am, myself, reminded that it all goes much too quickly.

I photographed the same extended family twice.

The first time, it rained. They were troopers about it. We had already scoped out a covered porch at the location just in case the weather had other ideas, and that porch became our backdrop. We made something beautiful out of what could have been a wash.

The second time, they came back with new additions. Beach house on Alligator Point. Grandparents out on the water with the grandchildren. Big group moments and smaller family units. Easy, relaxed, and real.

What I remember most about both sessions is the feeling at the end. A kind of collective exhale. Like everyone knew they had just done something that mattered and would keep mattering long after that day.

That is the thing about showing up even when the conditions are not perfect. The photos do not know it rained.

Five Spots. One Date. A setting that only looks like this for about three weeks out of the year.

I am not trying to manufacture urgency here. The blooms genuinely do not wait, and the calendar genuinely does not have room for everyone who wants a session this spring.

If your family has been on your to-do list for a while, now is a really good time to actually do something about it.

April 11 at Maclay Gardens. $275. A wardrobe guide, a focused session, and your images delivered in two weeks.
