Capturing Family Love: A First Birthday Photo Session at Jeffrey Open Space Trail


This was one of those photo sessions where I wished it didn't end. Sashant and his beautiful family booked me for his daughter's 1st birthday photos a couple of months prior. I had previously worked with Sashant on a commercial photography level, taking headshot photos for him and his family for their hotel business portfolio. So the transition to capturing their family dynamic was flawless. We picked Jeffrey Open Space Trail as our location. The colors with the woodsy vibes came out perfectly! Even though some posed shots were inevitable, I still managed to capture plenty of candid and genuinely sincere images. The love between Sashant and his girls was very evident, which made my job a breeze! Can't wait to work with the Patel family again soon!
