Johnson Family Session

Some sessions feel like a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. This one took us out of the city and into the open skies of the countryside, where life moves a little slower, the views stretch a little wider, and family time is everything.

This sweet family is expecting their second child—a baby boy!—and we had the honor of capturing their latest chapter in two spots that perfectly reflect their lifestyle: a quiet, scenic park trail wrapped around a pond and their home property, where their two beautiful horses roam.

Maternity Photos That Reflect Real Life

This wasn’t just about documenting a baby bump. This was about capturing a season of life—a growing family, country roots, and a deep appreciation for the little moments: their daughter walking the trail with mom and dad, soft light filtering through the trees, and big smiles when we made it back home to say hi to the horses.

They’re the kind of family that’s easy to photograph because everything is just… real. Stylish but laid-back, proud of their lifestyle and not afraid to show it. And honestly? We love that. The polished moments and the playful in-betweens—it all matters.

A Personal Touch: Home, Horses & Heart

Back at their property, we spent time just capturing what life looks like for them day to day. Their daughter was full of joy, totally in her element around the horses and open space. The horses? Calm, beautiful, and clearly part of the family.

This session reminded us why we do what we do. Life changes fast, and documenting it in your own environment—on your land, with your people, doing what you love—is priceless. Family photos and videos don’t have to be stiff or overly posed. They should feel like you.
