Welcome Home, Baby Grady – A Lifestyle Newborn Session with the Culver Family

Few things are more meaningful than watching a family grow right before your lens. I’ve had the joy of photographing the Culver family for the past five years, and each session has been filled with warmth, love, and a sense of connection that shines through in every image. This time, we gathered in their home to welcome their newest addition—baby Grady—and the love that filled the space was truly unforgettable.

Grady is a precious little boy with the sweetest presence. His arrival brought even more love into a home that already radiates joy. It was a relaxed, heartfelt session—just the way lifestyle newborn photography is meant to be. In their familiar, cozy space, we captured the tiny details of this new chapter: quiet moments with Mom and Dad, soft snuggles, and the magic of new beginnings. There’s something incredibly special about photographing a newborn where their story begins—right at home.

One of the highlights of this session was Adeline, Grady’s proud big sister. She’s a vibrant, energetic little girl who absolutely lit up the room. Her playful spirit kept us all smiling, and her excitement over her new baby brother was contagious. Whether she was helping me set the scene or gently loving on her brother, Adeline reminded me just how important these sibling moments are—full of curiosity, pride, and pure love.

Ashley and Garrett are such kind and devoted parents. Watching them hold their son and beam with pride reminded me of the beauty in the everyday moments—the glances, the laughter, the tiny fingers held tight. Their home was filled with the kind of love that makes storytelling through photos effortless. Every corner of their home held meaning, and every frame captured a piece of their growing bond as a family of four.

Culver family, thank you for once again trusting me with your memories—your love is inspiring, and I’m so honored to be part of documenting your beautiful journey with baby Grady.
