First Year | A Family Portrait Collection

When I think about this sweet family, three words immediately come to mind.  Loving, dedicated, and genuine.  I sat down with this beautiful mother back in March over coffee and we caught up after several years of not seeing each other, even though we live in the same town!  We graduated from the same college and knew each other through mutual friends.  She and her husband wanted family photographs to celebrate their son's first birthday and all winter I've been looking forward to meeting and photographing him.  I was excited to be able to document a day celebrating their first year of parenthood...the journey, the joy, the love...such an important time in their lives.

This husband and wife team have hectic travel schedules, full-time jobs, and somehow they manage to juggle it all...it was so important for me to give them a memorable sunset session together.  I loved seeing them slow down for one night to laugh, play, sing, and dance together as a family.  There were several times we all just busted out our dance moves, hysterical!     

And can we talk about this cutie?!  This little love instantly stole my heart.  Seeing everything through his eyes was so special.  How interesting the grass was or the silkiness of the petals of the flowers, he was exploring and crawling all around the open field.  Holding his parents hands as he tried to walk and yes, he will be walking soon my friends!  The best part was when his parents kissed, he got SO excited and absolutely loved seeing them together—it was priceless. 

Love filled the air this night.  I left feeling so whole and having so much respect and gratitude for everything these amazing parents do each and every day to balance life, always putting family first.  They are such a loving family who have a ton of fun, keep things real, and who laugh together.  I am lucky to have shared in such a special experience with them and am happy I was able to reconnect with this beautiful mother and her sweet family.

Here are some of my favorites from their session!
