gowns and crowns in the summer light: the sams family

This family of three, about to be four, is just bursting with beauty and excitement as they anticipate the arrival of sweet baby brother.  He’ll be here in a matter of weeks, maybe even days, and they’re both soaking up their last moments of having an only and relishing in the dream of what’s to come.

They played and loved in the dreamiest summer evening light, and let me photograph their movements and interactions and playfulness that’s unique and special to their family.

It’s my favorite way to photograph families – authentic, emotive and timeless.

And flower crowns.  Always flower crowns.

a trio of sisters in an overgrown summer field

I love the glowy haze in these, so indicitive of the incredible muggy night I met the Allen family and photographed this darling trio of sisters together.

Those three stole my heart with their sweet moments together, giggles, but especially the way they loved their mama.

Swoon.

newborn mikey and his family of FIVE

I love this family and just couldn’t be happier for them as they’ve grown from two, to three, to four, and now five in nearly the same speed as my own crew has.

They understand the fun and noise level and mad love and even chaos that we experience on the daily, and so as I was taking these I was flooded with nostalgia…when we were them, welcoming this sweet calm once more against the juxtaposition of the big kids.

I have no doubt Jimmy and Brittany will handle it amazingly, and I can’t wait to see Mikey grow and become his own little person and soon, much too soon, toddling behind Charlie and Maddie.

They don’t stay little for long, and the quiet serene moments are harder and harder to come by.

But with these photos, it feels a bit more like this flash of newness can last forever.

aleena in the golden light in a field of wildflowers

Aleena was the most content little one, happy to sit with mama, play with daddy and explore a field of wildflowers in the warm evening glow. There were baby deer behind us, birds flying above us, and so much wonder in her eyes before us.

Sweet girl, you are a gem!

ABOUT US

"It's a feeling."

One of the best ways I've heard my work described.

It's like a dream you can't quite get back to, but you know was so so good because when you woke up you had a smile on your face, and you keep trying desparately to remember all of the vivid details you can be present in that in-between state for just a little more  - the warmth of being together, the sounds, the laughter...the feelings.

Here's more on what our work together could be.
