Professional Family Photographer | Summer Fun!

As a professional family photographer, I have had the great pleasure to capture families from the very start when they first welcomed their first baby into the world and then as their family grows. This is just one of those families. I first photographed them when their eldest boy was about a week old and throughout the years I have had the honor of documenting their important milestones with each of their boys. Such an amazing thing to witness through my camera.

This family’s session took place in the Summer. We met for their family portrait session at a park with beautiful flowers in bloom that coordinated with the family’s outfits, but when the rain started we had to come up with an alternative quickly. I had done a bit of research ahead of time and presented a new location idea, which really worked out perfectly. The colors at the new location complemented the family’s wardrobe as if this was where we were meant to be that day!

The boys were able to run around freely and explore their surroundings safely. Plenty of cuddle and play time was given to give some natural and fun  family photos without making the boys feel like they had to be “on” at all times.

So glad that we were able to find relief from the rainy weather on this Summer day. Always an honor photographing this family of five! Thank you for trusting me with your treasured moments through photographic art.

There’s something so magical about spring sessions—the fresh greens, the blooms, and that soft, glowing light that seems to wrap around everything.

I love how it cascades through the trees here, gently highlighting her and drawing you right into her gaze. Her outfit, her presence, the quiet confidence… it all comes together so effortlessly.

And in black & white, the depth strips everything back—letting the focus rest exactly where it should: on her.

One of the greatest honors of my work is witnessing a family’s story unfold—beautifully, quietly, and all too quickly.

From the anticipation of maternity to the pride of graduation, these fleeting seasons deserve to be remembered. 

As a mother, I know just how fast it all passes. The images I have of my own daughter are treasures—each one holding a moment I can never relive, but can always feel again.

This is why I do what I do.

To preserve the missing teeth, the tight hugs, the laughter, the in-between moments… the love that deepens with time.

Because these photographs aren’t just for today. They become part of your family’s legacy—held close for generations to come.

If you’ve been thinking about documenting your own story, I would be honored to create something meaningful for you.

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.
