What a beautiful morning here at Burnside Farms! This maternity session features the Carter family in a sun-soaked sunflower field. We arrived in the morning for sunrise and were met with open fields to explore and sunflowers to adore.
Throughout the session, there was an abundance of joy & laughter, and also a real sense of calm. It felt as though Mom and Dad were simply enjoying a leisurely outing with their first baby, anticipating the arrival of their next.
Truly my hope is for every family to leave feeling more connected and bonded after spending quality, carefree time together. There’s no need to stress about children “behaving” or forcing smiles for the camera—just trust me to capture those authentic moments of fun and togetherness.
Enjoy some of my favorites from this sunrise maternity session at Burnside Sunflower Farms!
