There’s something truly magical about family photo sessions, especially when they unfold in the outdoors amidst nature’s beauty. This Franklin family session was no exception. Our time together was on a sunny evening in May and it was nothing short of amazing.

Our time together was spent in a beautiful outdoor garden area filled with blooming hydrangeas. The morning sunlight cast a gentle glow that created beautiful pockets of shade for us to hang out in as I snapped photos of this family just being themselves and enjoying a summer morning together.

In today’s digital age we often take countless photos of our children, but rarely print them to be displayed in our homes. However, there are many emotional and psychological benefits of displaying family photos in your home — it creates the idea that they belong and are loved.

There are certain sessions that resonate deeply with me, and this in-home newborn session was one of those. I walked into the home of a family with two little boys aged 4 and 2, and their precious newborn baby girl, and I immediately felt a connection.

Here's what nobody tells you about this season — you're going to forget it. Not because you're not paying attention, but because you're too busy living it. The specific way your kid laughs right now, the exact weight of them in your arms, the beautiful chaos of a regular afternoon at your house — it slips away quietly, without warning, and one day you'll reach for the memory and find it's already blurry at the edges. That's why this matters. Not the perfectly posed photo, the real one. The one that actually looks like your family, your kids, your life, right now. Come as you are. This season is already enough.
