I am one of those photographer’s that has a set of locations where I shoot outdoors. However, every once in a while a client will pull me from my norm and ask me to do a session in a location that is special to them. This was one of those sessions!

It challenges me. Pulls out my creativity. And allows me to see the beauty in a new location. This gorgeous spot was a family members backyard!

Ya’ll, I typically show up to these sessions like I am on a blind date. Sometimes I see picture beforehand, if we can, but it doesn’t always work out to be able to plan exactly where we may photograph. Plus, through in overcast skies, a bit of rain (where we had to take a break), heat, and all things social distancing right now!

Handsome little Hayes was a trooper! His first birthday pictures are precious and this little guy decided to show us his tongue for most of the session, but he’s 1!
