Now that it’s starting to get warmer, let’s throw it back to November, shall we? This Christmas tree farm holds special meaning to this family. Finding those perfectly shaded pockets was tricky, but we used the slowly setting sun to our advantage and found some beautiful spots!

These ages can be tricky regarding family sessions, but this family seems to have it figured out. Snack breaks, funny noises, movement, distraction techniques, and going with the flow are essential. My assistant entertains the kiddos off to the side while Mom and Dad get a mini date night moment, even if only for a couple of minutes.

To this family’s surprise, a sweet baby girl graced their presence weighing in at a perfect 7lb. If you’ve been to the studio, you might even recognize this family. This session was full of neutral tones, soft feminine touches, and texture.

This girl exudes an incredible amount of personality. Simone has danced to the beat of her own drum since she was in diapers. That warm embrace between Simone and her dad says it all. After the outdoor portion of their family session, it was time to head back to the studio for some family portraits…wicked style!

These two are no strangers to JNP. Big sister is a seasoned baby membership cutie, and little brother is following in her footsteps. There aren’t many things cuter than a baby sitting on a tiny bench. Rest assured, my assistant is always close by for the safety and well-being of your baby.

One of my favorite things is seeing how proud older siblings are of their new title! You can see older brothers' and sisters’ excitement when it’s their turn to have a special job with their new best friend.

This was a unique session because this newborn client was on the older side of my “newborn sessions.” This family contacted me because they wanted a newborn session for their three-month-old son. I typically photograph newborns in their first two weeks of life, but I have successfully photographed older newborns many times before.

When this family came into the studio to map out Nina’s upcoming session, she gave me the sweetest smiles and was so content! For baby membership babies, I always use the same prop at each of their milestone sessions. This puts their growth into a teary-eyed perspective.

As stunning as black-and-white images of Iyari are, I had to give this dress its moment! Yvonne always brings special, meaningful, and traditional outfits for Iyari to wear during their family session. Their family session happened to take place right around Yvonne and Iyari's birthdays, so we had to have a little celebration—champagne for Mom and cupcakes for her daughter!

The Eras Tour, JNP edition, was quite a hit. We knew we wanted to incorporate as many eras as the studio space would allow. When I host mini-sessions, having promotional images to show potential (and existing) clients plays a pivotal role in the booking process. You want to see what you're getting yourself into, and I want to provide the most accurate representation of that mini-session results. That said, who better to be promo models than a couple of Swiftie moms and their Taylor Swift-loving daughters?!

It just so happened that their family was bringing home a new puppy the day before we had planned this family session. What better way to celebrate a new furry family member than with a family session?

Everything is better with a little bit of glitter!! Glitter and Twinkle light minis are one of my most popular mini-sessions. One of the reasons why glitter sessions are such a hit is because they are interactive. Glitter and twinkle light mini sessions are great for siblings as well! Double the mess, double the fun, am I right?
