Simon Family | Cedar Park, Texas

I couldn’t be more excited to share this beautiful family session with you all.

Oliver and Emilia were the cutest kiddos ever. They have been staying safe inside during COVID lockdown; getting to be out at a park was extra exciting for them. It was adorable seeing Emilia wave to everyone passing by as we walked through the park. Oliver’s favorite part was being near the water. He couldn’t wait to throw some rocks with his dad.

Jon and Cristy are truly the sweetest couple! I enjoyed getting to see their bond with one another and with Oliver and Emilia. Their love for one another, between all four of them was beautiful to see. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to see and capture moments between family members.

Having this photoshoot be more of family time for them together with lots of exploring, tickling, snuggles and rock skipping is what it’s all about. I always want kids to have fun during a session, especially if they’re more shy. I rather the session and photos flow naturally rather than trying to force a certain ‘pose’.

Emilia definitely looks up to her big brother and wants to be a part of everything he does. It is sincerely one of the sweetest sibling relationships I’ve seen.

I wanted to make sure we took a few moments for Cristy and Jon to have some photos of just the two of them. So many parents are focused on capturing those milestone memories of their kiddos that they forget to take some time for themselves too. These are their milestones as well though, and they deserve to be celebrated as parents! It was extremely sweet to get them to snuggle into one another and take a few photos together.

Simon family, thank you for asking me to be a part of capturing all these memories for you to look back on. I hope you love and cherish them for many years to come. You have such a beautiful family, inside and out, and it was a pleasure getting to meet you all! I look forward to getting to see and photograph Oliver and Emilia as they continue to grow.
