What:
🌿✨ Heirloom Spring Garden Sessions ✨🌿
There will be several sets and set variations available.
🌿 Spring Garden / Easter Sessions &🤍 Motherhood Sessions
The Spring Garden set feels like stepping into a quiet heirloom garden at golden hour. Soft lace curtains frame the space like an open garden window, gently pulled back to reveal that warm evening light.
Neutral fabrics, wicker elements, and vintage details create a relaxed seating area surrounded by natural greenery and seasonal blooms.
For sessions before April 4th, subtle “Easter” touches will be included on set including baskets of pastel eggs, carrots and bunny decor as well as live ducklings (if desired).
For sessions after April 4th, we will focus on motherhood sessions. No ducklings and we will pull the Easter decor.
This setup is designed to feel airy, organic, and beautifully understated — allowing genuine connection, laughter, and quiet moments to take center stage.
🐥 Little Red Truck Sessions
The Little Red Truck set is a touch of rustic countryside charm. Styled with natural textures like straw, wooden crates, baskets, and seasonal accents, the truck creates a playful scene designed especially for toddlers and young children.
The vintage-style truck is perfectly scaled for little ones, inviting them to climb, explore, and interact naturally with the space. Ducklings are incorporated, creating sweet storytelling moments as children discover the tiny spring visitors.
The result is a portrait that feels nostalgic and whimsical — a little moment of country springtime preserved in a timeless image.
🫖 Tea Table / Garden Bistro Sessions
The Tea Table set creates a charming storybook moment tucked into the garden landscape. A petite vintage-style bistro table with delicate chairs sits among soft greenery and warm evening light, styled with a classic teapot, cups, and gentle floral accents.
This intimate setup is designed for one or two subjects, making it perfect for siblings sharing a quiet tea moment, a mother and child, or a little one enjoying an imaginative tea party with a favorite teddy bear or bunny.
The soft surroundings and golden light create an atmosphere that feels whimsical, peaceful, and timeless — like a quiet garden moment frozen in time.

Please note many session dates are weekday evenings. Traveling up the hill during the work week may take extra planning, though a limited number of weekend sessions are available.
Weekend spots will fill quickly.
Who:
These sessions include several different set styles. Because each set is designed at a different scale, the ideal participants vary depending on the setup you choose.
Spring / Easter Garden Sessions
(with or without ducklings) and Motherhood Sessions are open to:
-Children
-Siblings
-Mothers with their children
-Immediate families
(Immediate family includes parents and their children only.)
For the best experience, these sessions photograph most comfortably with families of six or fewer members.
Little Red Truck Sessions
The Little Red Truck set is scaled specifically for toddlers and very young children, making it best suited for:
-One child
-Two siblings
This set photographs best for children under approximately 5 years old, as the truck is designed for smaller kids to safely sit and interact with the scene.
These sessions focus on children rather than full family portraits.
Tea Table / Bistro Sessions
The Tea Table set features a small two-person bistro table, making it ideal for:
-Two siblings
- A mother with one young child
-One child interacting with a teddy bear or bunny stuffed prop
This set is designed for intimate, storybook-style portraits and works best with one or two subjects.
👕 What to Wear
The overall palette for these sessions is soft, natural, and timeless.
Best colors:
-Soft neutrals (cream, ivory, beige, oatmeal)
-Light pastels (soft yellows, sage, dusty blue, lavender, soft pinks)
-Earth tones (tan, warm brown, soft olive)
-Light denim
Textures that photograph beautifully:
-Linen
-Cotton
-Eyelet or lace
-Knit sweaters
-Flowy dresses
-Soft cardigans
Style tips:
-Keep outfits simple and cohesive
-Layers add beautiful depth to photos
-Barefoot or neutral shoes photograph best
-Coordinate tones instead of matching exactly
These choices help maintain the soft, heirloom feel of the set while keeping the focus on connection and expression.
🚫 What NOT to Wear
To maintain the timeless look of the set, please avoid:
-Neon colors
-Bright or overly saturated tones
-Busy patterns or large prints
-
Logos or graphic text
• Athletic wear or sporty sneakers
-Very dark or heavy black outfits
• Shiny fabrics or sequins
Pro tip: If the clothing grabs attention before the people do, it’s probably not the best choice. Soft, natural, and timeless always photographs best.
