Newborn Family Session at Carburn Park in Calgary

A little while ago, I photographed this lovely family’s maternity session at Reader Rock Garden. It was a peaceful evening filled with anticipation as they prepared to welcome their second baby. Seeing them again at Carburn Park, now as a family of four, felt like the most beautiful continuation of their story.

Golden hour was truly showing off for us. The warm light settled softly over the pathways, the river glowed in the background, and the tall grasses caught every bit of that evening shimmer. It was one of those sessions where everything aligned. The location, the light, and the gentle sweetness that comes with a family welcoming a new little one all came together so naturally.

One of my favourite parts was watching their older child step into their new role as a sibling. The unprompted moments were the most precious. Leaning in close, checking on the baby, proudly holding his tiny hand. You could feel how much love already surrounds this new addition.

The parents were just as lovely as ever, embracing the beautiful chaos that comes with having two little ones. Between cuddles, feeding breaks, and a few joyful giggles from their toddler, the whole session felt relaxed and real. It reflected this season of life perfectly.

From their quiet maternity evening at Reader Rock Garden to this warm golden session at Carburn Park, it has been such a joy to document their journey as their family grows. These milestones feel even more meaningful when you get to witness the story unfold from one chapter to the next.

I am so grateful they trusted me once again to capture these tender and fleeting moments.
