My first Throwback Thursday post is from May 2018 when I had the chance to do a family portrait session for our neighbors here in Roswell. Our parks are beautiful here most of the year, very green and lush, great locations for portraits. I know many of these images were used for Father’s Day gifts!

Something I love is including elements that really showcase time and place within the photos. Here we have a beloved stuffed animal or “Lovie” who helped us all throughout the session. I know they show up in home photos, but it is special to use Lovies, blankets, and other items that are special to kids throughout the session.

I know it is easy to make a session about the kids or your pets, but I always try to grab a few images of the parents together!
