I’m so excited to be sharing this beautiful portraits session with you today! It was perhaps one of my most challenging this fall. Little ones can be unpredictable. Sometimes my sessions with young babies can be great – and other times, its requires I be a bit more creative and agile. This little girl kept me on my toes during their gorgeous fall family photos in Larz Anderson Park this year. She was cute but was NOT about having her picture taken. But, by the end, I got some gorgeous smiles out of her and her parents! It was all worth it (like it always is!).
Family Photos in Larz Anderson Park
When I look back on this session, I think about the trust this family had in me to make these photos something special for them all. These are some of the first family photos of them with their little girl showing off her newest and greatest milestones. It was important that we capture something that would document this time in their lives. I appreciated them believing in me – and knowing that we would create something magical! With the gorgeous colors at Larz Anderson Park and a happy family in the most beautiful outfits, how could we not?!
I always remind my families to let the process happen. No matter what, we’ll capture something you’ll treasure forever – even if it’s a grumpy pout from your little one or all smiles. In these moments, I lean on your natural interactions as a family, extra snuggles, and fun games. In the end, you may just wind up with a beautiful session like this one!
