It's always a joy to welcome back the Schmidt family for another mini photo session. This time, I had the pleasure of capturing Timothy, Sarahi, their enthusiastic son Elijah at Riverside Park. Timothy's mom was also able to join us! Here are a few of our amazing photos:
The most heartwarming aspect of being a family photographer is witnessing the growth of little ones like Elijah. Each session with the Schmidts offers a new chapter in their family story, and it's been incredible to see Elijah transform over the years. He’s still as cute as a button!
This year, the Schmidts chose a chic yet comfortable style: neutral whites and creams with tasteful blue accents. Their outfits perfectly complemented the natural backdrop of Riverside Park, adding an elegant yet cozy feel to the photos.
I personally adore Riverside Park for its lush greenery and majestic oak trees. It’s a haven for children like Elijah, who revel in climbing the sturdy oak limbs and balancing on the entwined roots. The park's natural charm always adds a playful and spirited vibe to our sessions.
There’s also a pretty impressive playground here for the kids to burn off some steam after the photoshoot. And if the oak trees aren’t your vibe, there’s also a gazebo with scenic views of the river.
From candid moments to loving embraces, this mini session was brimming with fun and affection. Whether we were chasing the light through the leaves or capturing quiet moments of family bonding, every snapshot tells a story of joy and togetherness.
A heartfelt thanks to the Schmidt family for once again choosing me to document these precious moments. It’s a privilege to be a part of your family's journey and to help preserve these memories for years to come.
