A beautiful day, a beautiful location (one of my favorites in town), perfectly cool weather is the recipe for a great family photo session. I met this family at Goodwood Plantation and we walked around taking photos along the way.
Spring is my favorite time of year for family photos. The light is bright and cool, the weather is perfect, and looking back at your spring session pictures will instantly brighten your mood. I did a mommy-and-me spring session when my son was 4 months old and it remains one of my favorites. Naturally, the mama/baby photos in this session are near and dear to my heart.
You need these. To make them accessible, I’ll be offering SPRING MINI SESSIONS and will announce them in the next week. Follow my facebook page to hear specifics and dates. They fill so fast.
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.
A message from Santa as we wrap up the Christmas week.
May you and your family be blessed this year and into the next. I look forward to seeing so many of you again in 2026.
