Pure Joy: A Family Session with Pat, Claire & Baby Max

Some sessions just radiate happiness—and this one with Pat, Claire, and their sweet baby Max was one of those heart-melting experiences I won’t forget. We spent the afternoon capturing their little trio in a relaxed, love-filled shoot that was all about connection, giggles, and letting Max steal the show (which he did effortlessly).

Meet Max: The Star of the Show

From the moment he arrived in his tiny suspenders, jeans, and an off-white shirt, Max had us all completely smitten. He is the kind of baby whose joy is absolutely contagious—smiling, giggling, and clearly soaking up every bit of love from his adoring parents.

Picture-Perfect Style

Claire looked stunning in a white dress paired with a denim jacket, and Pat’s look was effortlessly classic in dark blue pants and a cream collared shirt. Their outfits felt coordinated but natural, and the soft tones worked perfectly with the setting.

The Feeling: Real, Relaxed, and Full of Love

What made this session so special wasn’t just the outfits or the golden light—it was the energy. Watching Pat and Claire interact with Max, the way they lit up around him, the little moments of laughter and snuggles... it was such a beautiful reminder of what these sessions are all about: real connection.

Max is clearly the center of their world, and it’s easy to see why. He brought so much light to this session—and honestly, to my entire week.

Thank you, Pat and Claire, for trusting me to capture these moments with your sweet boy. Your love for each other and for Max is something truly beautiful, and I’m so honored I got to document this season for your family.
