There's something truly special about capturing the milestones of a family I've known for years, and the Frantz family's one-year-old photo shoot was no exception. Despite the challenges posed by a hot and humid summer evening—and being seven months pregnant myself—I was thrilled to document this special moment. Fortunately, my sister was on hand to assist, making the shoot smoother and more enjoyable.


A Night to Remember

After multiple reschedules, we finally had our perfect summer evening. The session was so filled with laughter and perfect moments that it naturally extended into two mini-sessions. The atmosphere was relaxed, and even though Dad might have been ready to wrap up halfway through, his patience and good spirits helped us capture some truly beautiful memories.


Capturing Joy and Playfulness

The star of the show, the one-year-old birthday boy, was an absolute delight. His cheerful demeanor throughout the shoot made my job as a photographer a pure joy. We managed several outfit changes and incorporated fun props that Mom and Dad had chosen, adding personal touches that reflected their family’s spirit.


Final Thoughts

This shoot stands out as one of my favorites, not just because of the photographs we created, but because of the joy and ease of spending time with such a wonderful family. They're laid back, fun, and a pleasure to work with, which shines through in every image. As we wrapped up, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a significant occasion in their lives.


Looking Forward

As I continue to capture these fleeting moments, I'm reminded of how precious and fast-moving time is, especially in the first year of a child's life. The Frantz family photoshoot not only provided a set of beautiful images that they will cherish forever but also reminded me of the joy and love that family brings into our lives.


I look forward to many more sessions with the Frantz family and can't wait to see how they grow and change in the years to come. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey!
