There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a family grow—capturing their milestones, documenting their laughter, and preserving their joy through the seasons. For the F. Family, this past year has been a whirlwind of love, life, and new beginnings, and I’m so honored to have been a part of it all.
Sarah and Caleb have held a special place in my heart for years!
I was lucky enough to photograph their wedding day back in February of 2020, just a few years after meeting Sarah through the Rising Tide Society! Little did we know, just weeks after their beautiful celebration, the world would change in ways we couldn’t imagine. Fast forward a few years, and their family has grown from two to four! In 2023, Sarah reached out, hoping to document their pregnancy and the year following the arrival of the sweet baby girl they were awaiting.
What a journey it has been!
Over the past year (Plus a few months!), we’ve met FOUR times to capture their bump-to-first-birthday experience—a true celebration of family, love, and growth. Each session brought its own unique feeling, and together, they weave a beautiful story of this season in the F Family’s life as they welcomed sweet baby I to their family.
Jones Point Park has been a witness to so many incredible moments in Sarah and Caleb’s journey—from their engagement to growing their family!
We actually photographed S&C’s engagement photos in the park years ago… and since, we’ve photographed maternity photos, 6-month photos, AND finally their year session with both of their kiddos! This park has seen them through so many seasons of love, and it is so special to see their story evolve and their family change as the location stays, somewhat, unchanged. (Other than, you know… the seasons of it all, of course!) To be the one trusted with documenting these milestones is a privilege I don’t take lightly. Watching Sarah and Caleb grow from fiances to newlyweds to parents… it’s something so special that I can’t quite put into words!
(Which is why I’m oh so grateful to be a photographer!)
While each session could have stood alone as a beautiful memory here on the blog, there’s something so special about seeing the full collection from start to finish.
From bump to first birthday, this past year has been a testament to love and growth. It is such a bittersweet joy to watch babies grow! (How do they grow so fast?!) I’m keeping this intro short because there is SO much sweetness to share with you below… just know that, as I press publish on this blog post, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.
To the F Family: Thank you for inviting me to document your story. Watching your family grow has been such a joy, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you all. Here’s to many more milestones, memories, and photo sessions to come!
