Orlando Documentary Session | Orlando Newborn Photographer

I photographed this family at their Orlando home while Mom was still pregnant with baby #2. Their documentary style session captured their life at home just before they became a family of 4. You can check out some highlights from that session here.

It’s always exciting (and an honor) to photograph a newborn but it’s especially exciting when you’ve already met and fallen in love with the family. Seriously, I loved photographing these guys. They are the sweetest.

We got to catching up and we had a wonderful laidback and casual documentary style session together. It’s freeing going into a session without any expectations.

I truly believe that these real life sessions at home are extra special. This family ended up relocating to Ohio and I am so glad that they captured sweet memories together in their Florida home. They will always have these photos of this special time to cherish and look back on. Real life, real smiles, real love.

Newborn Twins | Orlando Florida Newborn Photographer

My heart skipped a beat when this Mama told me what she wants to remember when she looks back at this time in her life. She told me that it's, "the chaotic, fun times, the hard but rewarding moments, all of our efforts that show the huge love we have for our kids, our little apartment that we can call home, humble but full of memories, the beginning of this journey with kids." 

Her words spoke to my heart on so many levels. Documentary Style Sessions are all about letting go of expectations and capturing reality. It's about embracing and loving the life that you live - even when the words you use to describe it are hard, chaotic and humble. There's beauty to be found all around us. It's found in the spaces that we live and in the moments between us and our children. 

These sessions are meant to be a peek into our lives. They'll serve as a reminder of the things we did, what we were like and how our lives felt. It's not only a gift for us but for the generations to follow. 

These parents made having a toddler and newborn twins looks easy. Okay, maybe easy isn't exactly the right word...but their teamwork persevered and their loving personalities and patience shined through the entire session. 

At times, things did get a little chaotic: imagine a hungry baby x2 but shooting with a documentary approach helped keep the vibe relaxed for everyone. Mom was busy nursing like a champ for a lot of our time together and Dad stepped in to help with bottles and diaper changes. Big Sister stayed close to her new siblings and loved on them along with Mom and Dad. 

It was an absolute pleasure hanging out with this family. Once again I photographed a family brave enough to embrace the Documentary Style and it allowed me to capture their "right now", their "ordinary" and their "love".

The family ended up moving out of this apartment a few months after their session and I know they are so glad that they had this special time documented. Like Mom had said, it was the beginning of their journey with kids.

For me, the very best part, aside from the photos, is that we ended this session as friends :)
