✨On the blog: Lifestyle Newborn Session | The Nixons✨

"There’s nothing more special than being invited back into the lives of my wedding couples as they embark on new chapters. That’s exactly what happened with The Nixons, who recently welcomed their precious son, Christopher. It feels like just yesterday I was photographing their wedding, and now I had the honor of capturing their first moments as a family of three during a lifestyle newborn session.

This session was extra meaningful because it took place in their home. Nursery sessions are so sweet! Walking into their home, I immediately noticed their wedding photos displayed on the walls—a beautiful reminder of where their journey began. It felt like we had come full circle, from their “I do’s” to welcoming their sweet baby boy....."

Full circle moments with The Nixons 💙From their wedding day to welcoming baby Christopher. It was such a joy to document such a special occasion for this family again. I loved seeing their wedding photos on the walls in their home and that they specifically requested portraits with them in the background.

A sweet family session I recently photographed. We took these just before the last big storm came in and crossed our fingers for good weather and it was actually SO nice on the beach! If you haven’t been down in a while- I highly recommend a sunset walk! For family sessions, in addition to everyone, I always try to get each family, spouses, children playing etc. I create a portrait list for families just like I do for weddings to maximize your portrait time and ensure you’ll get the images you’re planning to gift or frame for yourself. Here’s a few of my favorites from Susanne’s family.

Megan & Jonathan’s beach wedding was just perfect. They exchanged vows in front of their families just before the sun set in Orange Beach. They chose to share a first look which I really loved because it made the walk out to the beach very relaxed. Megan pinned Jonathan’s boutonnière on while the family members gathered around in a semi-circle, with grandmothers seated on either side of the isle. There were smiles, laughs and prayers and at the end of the ceremony a whole condo of strangers cheered for the newlyweds! We ended with some lovely portraits. Here’s a few of my favorites. 💕

Sola & TK had the most amazing wedding day. The couple planned their Izenstone wedding to be reflective of both their cultures including a Nigerian engagement ceremony, an American wedding and serving Jamaican food for dinner. The two shared a first touch, exchanging gifts before the second ceremony. I love how much just holding your partners hand can bring the biggest smiles and sense of calm! If you know me, you know that I am LOVING the colors! And sign me up for any wedding that has 2 wedding cakes! They dances and laughed and really enjoyed their friends and family all evening. What an honor it was to document their day! Here’s just a few of my favorite images.
