Family photoshoots are never about perfection – they’re about capturing the beautifully imperfect moments that make your family unique! During this session at the International Rose Garden in Portland, we embraced the joy and chaos that naturally unfold when you let kids be kids. From giggles to tumbles in the grass, every moment told a story. The best part were those spontaneous and candid moments. Those are the moments you can’t plan, and they truly stand out in the photos!
I’ve had the honor of photographing this family for years now—since before Liam, their oldest, was even born. It’s been such a gift to document their journey as their family has grown and changed. Each session brings something new, whether it’s a shared inside joke or watching the younger siblings try to mimic Liam’s every move. Seeing how their bond deepens each year is one of the most rewarding parts of my job and always makes me pause for a bittersweet moment of reflection!
The International Rose Garden provided the perfect backdrop for this year’s session. The vibrant blooms added color and whimsy to an already lively day. While the kids darted between rows of roses, their laughter echoed through the garden, and the parents soaked in those fleeting moments of childhood magic!! Being able to capture the family as they came together for a quiet moment among so much energy reminded me why I love what I do. It’s such a dream being able to capture these irreplaceable moments.
