This adorable family of three was referred to me by a friend I did newborn photos for. They loved my outdoor family work so we planned on doing a family session at sunset in the spring. At the time of the session their little girl was only 5-months old. She was so tiny and sweet.
At 5-months old their daughter was beyond an outdoor newborn session where I’d swaddle baby and attempt some more posed images with baby in a basket and such, but I still wanted to get some detail images of her hands and toes. At 5-months old she wasn’t get sitting stable on her own either so most of the session we kept her in the arms of mom and dad and focused on images with connection and snuggles.
This is one of my favourite locations for outdoor families and maternity. It’s easy to get to, it’s not too big, so it avoids walking a long way with little ones and expecting mamas, it has a variety of backgrounds – tall grass, trees, the boardwalk, the cliff wall and woods, and lastly but arguably the most important – gorgeous light comes in as the sun sets.
In Canada, my outdoor season runs from about May until October, so it feels like a very short timeframe in which I’m able to explore and capture families outside. Outdoor sessions are especially great for maternity, first birthday where baby can practice their first steps and be adventurous and families of all ages.
I’ve got a few July spots left, so if you’d like to plan on a session in the next 2 weeks, reach out to me ASAP.
