Zara’s 6 Month Milestone Shoot
Today, I want to share a heartfelt story of a beautiful family I had the honor of meeting—one that touched my heart and reminded me why I love what I do.
I recently had the joy of capturing baby Zara’s 6-month milestone session at the stunning Adriatica Village in McKinney, and this one is definitely going down as one of my favorite shoots to date. It’s funny how the universe works sometimes. Mayra(Zara’s mom) had posted on Snapchat about needing a photographer, and something told me to respond immediately. We connected, and after a couple days of chatting, she told me she wanted to book a session. However, she mentioned a hiccup—her previous photographer was causing issues with a refund. My heart went out to her, and I decided to offer a free session. I’m so thankful that I did because not only did I meet an incredibly kind and genuine family, but I also got to capture such beautiful memories of baby Zara at this sweet milestone.
They were naturals in front of the camera, radiating warmth and love for their little girl. And Zara? She was a dream to photograph—her bright eyes, her sweet smile, and that adorable little outfit! I mean, how could you not fall in love with capturing such cuteness? The stone bridge, the greenery, and the serene water at Adriatica provided the perfect backdrop for this precious family. It felt like a fairy tale, and I’m so glad these images reflect the magic of that day.
What I loved most about this session is how it reminded me why I do what I do. Being kind, staying patient, and connecting with my clients on a personal level always pays off. It’s more than just about photos—it’s about building relationships and capturing real love and joy. The bond within this family was so easy to capture, and I know these moments will be cherished for years to come. Just before we wrapped up the session, Mayra told me, I would be their forever photographer. Those words touched my heart in a way I can’t even fully describe. Knowing that they trust me to capture their memories from now on means more to me than anything.
Baby Zara and her loving parents are forever clients now, and I’m so excited to see Zara grow and hopefully capture many more milestones for this sweet family. They remind me how important it is to lead with kindness, always. Sometimes, that simple act of generosity allows you to meet some of the best people.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with this amazing family and look forward to the memories yet to be made. Here’s to more smiles, more moments, and more milestones! Get ready to see more of this sweet family!!
