We celebrated Gray turning one with a family and milestone session at their family friend's beautiful land and it turned out gorgeous! Their pastel colored outfits and the soft, cloudy morning sky was a match in heaven. The soft clouds gave us the most gorgeous soft light and I loved the chance to see how much baby Gray had grown since I saw him last as a tiny newborn. He was still as adorable as ever and it was so fun getting to see his personality blossom and see the little person he is becoming!
These were taken on a pretty humid July morning but it was totally worth getting up a little early to capture this sweet family again! Whatever it takes to have your precious babe in a good mood! ;) I absolutely adore candid, lovey-dovey family images so I love when I can capture families interacting and loving on another. If you have ever had me photograph your family you know that I typically will put you in a pose and then direct/guide you as needed, but the best images always happen when families let go of expectations and laugh at the awkwardness (as it can be awkward in the first 10 minutes or so) and just have fun with it!
I am always honored when families ask me to photograph special chapters in their life, and it also is a great way to celebrate the fact that you survived your first year as parents. Babyhood doesn't last long but having photographs to treasure forever definitely helps to hold onto these days a little bit more. Enjoy friends!
