I have worked with Sarah over the years, capturing Owen’s newborn and 1 year milestone sessions. Now her youngest is 1 so we met to capture Brody and his adventures with his big brother. We met one morning and explored the grounds of the Hampton Mansion National Historic Site together.
Milestone sessions are some of my favorites…as a pediatric PT I LOVE watching the incredible development that occurs throughout the first year of life. I shot Alex’s newborn session last fall. You can see more of that here. He has grown so much since then and he has developed the sweetest personality! Alex was absolutely delightful from the time he stepped out of the car through the end of our session. I met he and his family on a beautiful summer evening for his Milestone Session.
I consider it an absolute honor to be invited into a family when welcoming their newborn home. When Preeti called to inquire about a session I knew immediately this was one I wanted to fit into my already booked fall calendar. My desire when shooting a newborn session is to capture natural interactions between loved ones and leave images that will tell the story of this time in your life. Enjoy this gallery of images.
Welcome to the world Alexander…
I knew after just a few minutes on the phone during the inquiry that this was a session I wanted to be a part of. Crystal called me and explained that she wanted to do a photoshoot of her three girls that are “almost triplets” as a way to honor her mom. You see every year since the girls were little Crystal’s mom, the girl’s grandmother would take them to get photos during the time of the year they were all the same age. Crystal described the photos always had the actual number of their age in the photos somewhere. Ever since her passing, Crystal hasn’t been able to do it…
Until this year, the girls are 16 and she wanted to honor her mom with a photoshoot. We started brainstorming different ideas of how to include the number and decided on a banner. Crystal ordered a banner but it wasn’t delivered in time for the shoot so she had the girls create one…another special touch that made this so incredibly special.
We met on a day that was grey and overcast but the sun peeked out just as we started shooting and made for a beautiful session with these girls. Hannah, Madison and McKenna Happy Sweet 16! I am so thankful to have been a part of your special celebration!
This sweet boy has been a joy to capture over the years. Owen's mom, Sarah has made it a priority to capture a milestone portrait session each year around his birthday. We shot his newborn session at their home and then followed up with his 1 year session and cake smash at the beautiful Hampton Mansion Historical Site. This year we met again at the Hampton Mansion and I have to say it was my favorite session of them all. I left the session with confirmation that my favorite way to capture children is to allow them to play and interact with the ones they love. Owen was hesitant and shy when they first arrived but it didn't take long to begin to see his personality shine. It may have taken some tricks from my "mom of boys arsenal" but it was worth it!
If you're interested in shooting a Milestone Session this fall contact me soon as my calendar is filling up quickly. I'd love to help you capture images that will help you remember these childhood days that pass by so quickly.
