Spring Rose Garden Family Session | The Kirkpatrick Family

This gallery can immediately bring me right back to this exact day in the rose garden with The Kirkpatrick Family. The giggles, the initial shy smiles, & the warm sunshine. I am beyond honored to have been able to document such precious photos that truly capture this family and who they are to their core.

So many times I’ll get an inquiry that says, “an hour is just too long, do you have anything less?” But I want to take the time to explain why an hour is so, so good. Especially with the right photographer, location, and session prep.

Giving your family an hour photo session is such a gift (yes, even the Dad’s leave my session loving it!) They have time to relax, get comfortable, eat snacks or grab a drink of water in between. There is truly no rush to the timeline. No urgency, time for your family to just be. Now the time to be is where the magic happens, when no one is being told what to do or stand and smile, but the kids are given time to explore. It gives them freedom to show their truly personalities which is something we all want captured. Isn’t that why we are booking these photoshoots in the first place? To freeze a moment in time? To document their littles hands in yours, the squinty smile, the curious eyes?

I promise, an hour is never too much. It’s just the right amount of time.

Because then.. this is the magic you get to keep for years to come..
