Bright Family

Last week, I met up with the Bright family for a spring mini session at the Gardens in Pinehurst, and I’m so excited to share a few favorites!

It’s always special to photograph families in the thick of these early years — chasing toddlers, squeezing in snuggles, and making memories in the in-between moments. The Brights were so laid-back and easy to be around, and the Gardens gave us such a gorgeous backdrop with its blooming flowers and soft spring colors.

We took our time wandering through the paths, letting the session unfold naturally. Sometimes that means fewer posed moments and more real, honest glimpses into this season of life — and that’s exactly what I love most about these sessions.

The Bright family was a joy to work with, and I’m so glad I got to document this little slice of their story. These photos are full of the quiet, candid moments that make up a beautiful chapter in the life of a young family.

Thank you, Brights, for trusting me to capture your day at the gardens!
