Sometimes the most beautiful moments come from letting go of the plan.

This session was meant for evening… then moved to morning… then shifted again to 12:30pm thanks to storms rolling into Jekyll Island. We watched the radar and decided this was the best time in terms of weather, but also nap times. We timed things perfectly, as just minutes after we finished, the storm hit. We all made it indoors before the skies fell.

Flexibility for the win! And proof that trusting the process can lead to something even better than you imagined.

One of my favorite pieces I offer families is this artisan linen portrait box.

Inside are bordered fine art prints from your session — a beautiful way to revisit your favorite images without reaching for your phone.

These heirloom pieces are designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR SPRING FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSION

Spring sessions photograph beautifully with soft, light colors and classic clothing that feels timeless.

Color Palette Ideas:
Soft blues
Ivory and cream
Pale pinks
Sage green
Light neutrals

These colors photograph beautifully with spring blooms and natural light.

Tips for Coordinating Your Family:
Choose one outfit you love (often mom’s dress) and build the rest of the family’s outfits around it. Avoid everyone wearing the exact same color and instead aim for colors that complement each other.

Textures Photograph Beautifully:
Linen, cotton, eyelet, and soft knits add subtle visual interest without distracting from your family.

Keep It Classic:
Simple, timeless clothing ensures your portraits will feel beautiful for years to come.
Most importantly, choose outfits that feel comfortable and allow your children to move and play naturally.

If you would like help selecting outfits for your session, I am always happy to offer guidance.

This is one of my favorite times to photograph families — soft light, blooming trees, warmer weather and children who are finally happy to be outside again.

Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly each year.

If you’ve been hoping for updated family portraits this spring, now is the time to reserve your session.

When is the best time for a newborn session?

For those tiny, curled-up, super sleepy images, I usually recommend the first two weeks.

But honestly… there’s no wrong time to document a new baby.

Many of my families choose to schedule their session around six weeks. By then baby is a little bigger, often more wide-eyed and curious, and parents and siblings are usually more rested and settling into their new rhythm.

You may still get some sleepy moments — just a little less curled up.

Every stage of these early days is beautiful and worth remembering.

One day your children will look for photos of you together.

Not the perfect moments — the real ones. The laughter. The closeness. The way you held them in this season of life.

Be in the frame. These are the photographs they will treasure most.
