That first year with your baby? It’s a beautiful blur. As a mom of tow, I know the saying “the days are long but the years are short” is so so true! This is exactly why I love the “sitter” milestone session (usually around 6–9 months)- which we can do in the studio or outside as a full family session. And thats just what we did for these golden hour family pictures in Deerfield Beach.

How This Milestone Session Turned into Family Pictures
I actually first met this family at their newborn session with their first baby girl. They were absolutely smitten and did not stop smiling the entire session. That session will always stay with me- it was the day after a very significant personal event for me, and its one I’ll never forget.
When baby girl was about 8 months old, mama reached out to me to schedule her milestone session. After chatting for a bit, I said, “why don’t we take this milestone session outside?” Mom loved this idea, so we swapped baby’s milestone session for golden hour family pictures in Deerfield Beach and I’m so glad they did.
I wanted to have our photo shoot in the soft glow of golden hour and in a relaxed tucked away setting. I wanted it to feel like a fairytale. My hope is your session is a moment you’ll relive every time you see your images.

This Baby Girl Totally Stole the Spotlight
Baby was smiling, laughing, and showing off her sweet little quirks that mom and dad want to remember forever. The session flowed easily as I just told mom and dad to cuddle and give baby all the kisses. That was no challenge obviously, she is such a cutie!!
Baby loved having the spotlight and loved dads airplane swings. Once again, the smiles never left mom and dad’s face as they played with their sweet baby girl-t’s exactly the kind of interaction I love capturing during golden hour family pictures in Deerfield Beach.
Planning Outfits Without the Stress
As with all my sessions, I help take the stress out of that inevitable question: “What should we wear?” Did you know that I give all my clients access to a fantastic service called Style & Select—an interactive styling tool that helps you coordinate outfits for the whole family in just a few clicks. My clients love it and its so easy to use.
I always tell moms to start with their outfit first and then plan everyone else’s outfit. If you’re curious about what’s included in these sessions, you can check out my family photography page for all the details.
Bonus! Baby girl is wearing an adorable handknit sitter outfit from studio. It worked perfect for this golden hour family pictures!

Why I Love Golden Hour in Deerfield Beach
After such a meaningful newborn session, I already knew they were incredible parents. But seeing them again, after spending the last 8 months with their baby girl and watching them play as a family of three, was something super special.
As a professional family photography serving Deerfield Beach, I can’t get enough of golden hour sessions! There’s just something about photographing a family as the sun dips low in the sky. It adds a layer of magic you can’t quite describe, only feel.
These are the kinds of sessions that moms look back on and treasure deeply: a moment in time when life feels full, joyful, and beautifully real. I already can’t wait to see this family again and continue telling their story as the years go by.
