Photographing the Albrecht family was an absolute joy! We planned a morning session—because let’s be honest, no one’s getting much sleep with a little one at home anyways 🙂 It ended up being the perfect choice! Smith Gardens in Oakwood was glowing, and so was this blessed bunch.

The undeniable star of the morning was sweet Lucien. His name means light, and truly, he brought it. He lit up every frame with his bright eyes and joyful little spirit, it’s obvious that this little guy is so very loved!

What made this session even more meaningful was that Svetlana—an incredibly talented photographer herself—trusted me to photograph her family. That kind of trust is the highest compliment. If you haven’t seen her work yet, go check it out at svetlanaphotography.com!

From the winding green grass paths to the cheerful pops of purple allium, it all came together so naturally. Thank you, Albrecht family, for letting me be a part of this sweet chapter in your story.
