Forbes Family - Day in the Life Session

With three young kiddos, the Forbes family was busy!

Growing up as an only child, I love family sessions with multiple kids. I love to watch and document each member of the household and see how they all fit together.

They made breakfast together, got ready to go out, walked down to a cafe, and then walked over to their neighborhood park. They also asked to do a few posed/relaxed family photos which I was happy to do when we were walking around their neighborhood.

If you ever want some family photos where you’re all looking at the camera during your Day in the Life session, just let me know ahead of time, so I can work it into your session in a short and painless way.

A few favorites from their session

Odigé Family - Day in the Life Session

Sara may look familiar if you’ve been following my blog, as I photographed her new motherhood circle for her business a few months ago. She is an incredible postpartum doula that takes great care of new mothers.

I revisited her on a regular Saturday morning and this time got to meet her beautiful family as they went about their regular routine. Her girls are adorable and so full of personality. I’ve posted a few of my favorites here, but scroll all the way down for their full slideshow. I especially loved trying to catch moments with everyone in the frame and give them a real glimpse of their entire family which is something I realize only an outsider can capture for them.

Enjoy!

And if you’re interested in having me document your family please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Thierry and Marisa - Newborn Day in the Life Session

There’s nothing so sweet, tiring, and fleeting as those first newborn days. Marisa and Thierry welcomed beautiful little Ella and about two weeks later I swung by their home to document their life as a family of three.

As I was documenting their sweet family and watching them take in every little moment with Ella I was transported back to the hazy newborn days with my son. I have a million pictures of my son but very few of our family and myself with our new family member in our new daily routine. I so wish I could look back on some photos and see how beautiful those moments were, because as most parents will tell you, those first days and weeks are hard but amazing.

The joy of having a documentary session of those first few days with a new baby really comes later. When the baby has grown and is crawling or walking or talking and you view those photos with a new set of parent eyes and see how glorious those days were when you were just meeting this perfect sweet little family member. The secret all parents know is that those days are numbered and never last long enough.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the few hours I spent with newborn Ella and her parents. Scroll down to see their slideshow.
