As a family photographer, every session is unique and special, but some stand out more than others. The Dellinger family's maternity session at Farmhouse Garden Succulents in New Holland, PA, was one such memorable experience. The picturesque setting, featuring Dad, big sister Jeni, and the delightful farm animals, made for a magical session that captured the essence of family and the anticipation of welcoming a new member.
The Perfect Setting
Kate and Jeni, the dynamic duo of the Dellinger family, found their haven at Farmhouse Garden Succulents. This enchanting farm, nestled in the heart of New Holland, PA, is not only a greenhouse full of lush plants but also home to a delightful array of farm animals, puppies, and kittens. For Kate and Jeni, spending their days among these adorable creatures is an almost daily joy, making it the ideal backdrop for their family's maternity session.
Golden Hour Magic
Timing is everything in photography, and capturing the golden hour glow was the key to making the Dellinger family's maternity session truly magical. With special permission granted after the business closed, we embarked on an evening adventure bathed in the warm, soft hues of sunset. The farm took on a dreamlike quality, providing the perfect canvas for intimate family moments.
Meaningful Locations
As a photographer, I always encourage my clients to choose locations that hold special meaning to them. For the Dellinger family, Farmhouse Garden Succulents was not just a beautiful setting but a cherished place filled with joy and connection. The choice to have their maternity session here added an extra layer of significance to the photos.
Animals Galore
One of the highlights of the session was the interaction with the farm animals. Farmhouse Garden Succulents is home to animals big and small, and the Dellinger family was in their element. Puppies and kittens played in the background, adding an extra dose of cuteness to the photos. The farm's unique charm brought out the genuine smiles and laughter of the family.
The true standout of the session was the time spent in the pasture with a horse mama and her new baby colt. Capturing Kate in the presence of these majestic creatures added an ethereal touch to the maternity photos. The bond between the expectant mother and the horse family showcased the beauty of life and new beginnings.
The Dellinger family's maternity session at Farmhouse Garden Succulents was a testament to the power of choosing a location that resonates with your heart. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, adorable animals, and the warmth of familial love, this session captured the essence of the Dellinger family's unique story. As a family photographer, it's moments like these that make each session a treasured experience, and I feel grateful to have been part of their journey.
