Julie and Derek's Family Mini Session at McKee Botanical Gardens.

June 9, 2023 Sennu Keith

Mini sessions are an awesome way to get some great family photos in a short amount of time. Recently, I had the best mini session with Julie, her husband Derek, and their two amazing kids, Ava and Owen! This session happened at the enchanting McKee Botanical Garden.

Julie is a skilled massage therapist, and Derek is a dedicated math teacher! They are not only pillars in their professions, but also extraordinary parents. Homeschooling Ava and Owen has allowed them to nurture a deep connection with their children.

It was heartwarming to witness the genuine happiness that emanated from this close-knit family as we explored the stunning landscapes of McKee Botanical Garden.

With its lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and serene ambiance, McKee Botanical Garden provided the perfect backdrop for our session. As we strolled through the garden's winding paths, it wasn’t hard to find some winning photo opportunities!

The only challenge we had was some bright sunlight, but we adapted quickly, seeking out shady areas. McKee Botanical Gardens definitely delivered!

Ava and Owen, with their infectious laughter and playful energy, added an extra dose of enchantment to the session. These young adventurers embraced the natural surroundings with awe and wonder. Their bright eyes and genuine smiles made each photograph come alive!

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a photographer is when you love my photos! It always warms my heart to hear praise and positive feedback from families like Julie and Derek's.

It was so humbling to hear their gratitude for the photographs we created together. Visual memories have a profound impact on our lives, and I’m so excited that this awesome family will have these photos as a tangible reminder.

My family mini session with Julie, Derek, Ava, and Owen at McKee Botanical Garden was an unforgettable experience. From their shared love for Jesus to their passion for the outdoors and gardening, this family is everything and more.

Thanks so much for participating in my McKee Botanical Garden Mini Sessions! It’s always a blast to see you all, and I can’t wait to work with you again soon!
