A family session at alston Park

I've always loved  meeting new people in unexpected places, and this wonderful family is a perfect example. Our paths crossed one morning at Alston Park, where both of us were out walking our dogs and our young boys. Our kids instantly bonded, and we ended up spending the entire morning together. A couple of months later, Kelly got in touch to schedule a family photography session, and I was so honored!! 

The weather was not on our side initially, forcing us to reschedule three times. But as they say, good things come to those who wait! When the perfect evening finally arrived, it was well worth the wait.

Upon meeting them again for the session, I was immediately drawn to the family’s warm chemistry. Ernie, with his charismatic nature and witty sense of humor, kept everyone entertained. Kelly, a doting and loving mother, radiated happiness that was contagious. You could tell just how much she cherished being a mom.
And James, who ran the show in the best way, had his own idea of where he wanted the session to be! From the moment they got there he was very passionate about going to a different entrance of the park. I suggested that we change our plans a little and head to where James had his sweet little heart set on, and although it had me working a little harder and on my toes, it was well worth it! 

As we navigated the familiar trails of Alston Park, the perfect backdrop for our session, they shared some exciting news - they are expecting their second child in December! I felt honored to be a part of such a special moment in their lives. This session was not just about capturing beautiful photographs but also about celebrating life, love, and the joyful anticipation of a new family member. I Can't wait to meet their newest addition and capture more beautiful moments for them!
