Not long ago we were capturing these moments of anticipation, and now baby sister is here ❤️

Not pictured, how incredibly hot it was this day. Mom looked beautiful in her dress and dad saved the day with water bottles 🙌🏻

extended family sessions are more than just a group photo. they’re about capturing the generations, the connections, and the moments that don’t happen often enough. because let’s face it, schedules are hard to coordinate these days. between kids activities, work, and everything else that pops up the calendar can fill up quickly.

this was one of the largest families i’ve had the opportunity to photograph. even with the number of people they were all so easy going. grandparents, cousins, siblings all together in one frame. these are the photos that become family treasures for years to come. 🤍

here are a few things to keep in mind:
-try to schedule toward the beginning of your vacation in case someone forgets sunscreen
-pick outfits ahead of time that would hide tan lines
-if you want golden hour photos plan for younger kids to have later bedtimes
-have everyone eat (at least a snack) before your session

i have enjoyed watching this family grow over the past few years 🪴 i love the classic photos of baby, but i’m always keeping an eye out for the moments that feel like a little snapshot of time. those are my favorite. those are the ones that show your kids how it felt to laugh with you. or hug you. or be comforted by you.

the sun is out and i’m starting to feel like a human again after having my son in december. 🤣 life is good ✌🏻

my first 3 kids were born in the summer so this postpartum has definitely been different. not better, not worse, just different. i couldn’t get outside as much but i also didn’t feel like i needed to go outside like i would have if it was summer. plus i didn’t have to worry about him overheating and he might be crawling by summer! obviously anytime is great to have a baby, but if you have kids born in different seasons which season do you think is best??

When planning your outfits for your newborn session think about how you want your photos to feel, not just how you want them to look. I will be there to capture the connection of your family regardless of the color palette you wear, but here are some things to keep in mind! Save this for later 🤍

✨ Start with soft, neutral tones
Creams, soft whites, beige, oatmeal, muted blush, sage, dusty blue. These tones photograph well and keep the focus where it belongs on your baby. Bright colors and bold patterns can pull attention away focus from their tiny details.

✨ How color can change the overall look of your photos (scroll through to see some examples)
• Light neutrals → airy, timeless, emotional
• Warm earth tones → cozy, intimate, organic
• Cool muted tones → calm, peaceful, serene
• Dark, saturated colors → dramatic and moody

✨Avoid neon colors and busy patterns, they reflect onto baby’s skin.

✨Choose texture over print.

✨Coordinate, don’t match.

If you feel stuck on what to wear or don’t have a clue, I can help! I have been postpartum 4 times now and I understand wanting to have photos while still not feeling like yourself yet. I can send you outfit inspiration or even help you choose items you already own!

beach baby 😍 it was colder than we expected (even with the sun!) during their session, but we worked as quick as possible and made it work! dad gifted mom these family photos which i thought was incredibly sweet.

photos are a wonderful mother’s day gift, just saying. 🥰

the other day i wiped crumbs off of my 4 year olds face. I told him, “there, now you are all put together.” he looked at me with a straight face and said, “mom, i’m not a puzzle. you don’t put me together.” 😂

kids are unpredictable with what they say and do. this is true during your session too. you never know if your kids will go with the flow or run away from the camera. if being a parent has taught me anything, it’s how to redirect. so that’s one less thing you have to worry about.

always fun meeting up with this family! 📸

a little indoor and outdoor time

their property is really versatile and they have added even more since i have been there, including a moving wall that i’m itching to test out! a blank background is the perfect backdrop for family or motherhood portraits 😉

i’ll be putting out my may-august calendar this week if you want to snag a summer session 🌻

confession...sometimes i don’t post because i don’t know what to write for a caption. 🙈 i feel like i have to have profound things to say but more often than not i’m just excited to show photos of the cool people i get to photograph. maybe i’ll just write the same caption for every post, “these are awesome people i got to take pictures of. if you want candid feeling photos with some direction then i’m your girl.” 🤣

anyways, here’s a maternity session from last year of first time parents to-be. they wanted their session to be simple and in nature.

I’ve photographed mothers in every season.

First-time moms, moms with babies on their hips and toddlers at their feet, and moms holding onto the last years before home feels quieter. Every season is bittersweet.

So I’m trying to step into the frame too, even if it means setting the timer and leaving the laundry piles.
