There’s just something magical about spring mornings and fresh blooms, especially when you get to photograph the sweetest mommy and me duo like Sierra and baby Murphy! We met at Maclay Gardens State Park in the morning, and the whole place felt like it was glowing. The flowers were bursting with color, the light was soft and golden, and every moment with these two felt like a page out of a storybook. These mommy and me pictures were shot entirely on film! Let me tell you, film brings such a dreamy, nostalgic feel that digital just can’t replicate. If you’ve been thinking about booking a film-only session, let this be your sign!

The Magic and Nostalgia of Film Photography

Film photography adds such a unique depth and warmth to every session. There’s a softness to it, a richness of color, and an intentionality that brings every image to life in a way that feels timeless. Shooting on film naturally slows the pace, which gave us the chance to really soak in the beauty of the gardens, the gentle spring breeze, and every precious giggle from Murphy (he was so precious, ugh!). The session felt like a peaceful, joy-filled morning spent making memories, and I loved every second of it!

As a parent myself, I know how quickly these moments pass. Mommy and me pictures are more than just photos. They’re a way to freeze time and hold onto the love, laughter, and connection of this fleeting season. You deserve to document these memories of your little one in a way that beautifully preserves the emotion and excitement of this chapter. I’d love to be a part of that!
