There’s something really special about photographing a family in the studio—no distractions, just connection, light, and a little bit of magic. The Torres family brought all of that and more.

From the moment they walked in, the energy was full of joy and playfulness. Their session felt like a celebration of togetherness—genuine smiles, sweet little moments between siblings, and the kind of love that’s easy to feel and impossible to fake. We kept things simple and natural, letting their dynamic unfold organically, and the result was a collection of images that feel warm, timeless, and full of heart.

Studio sessions like this are a reminder that you don’t need a big location or elaborate setup to tell a beautiful story. Sometimes all it takes is a blank canvas, soft light, and a family as lovely as the Torres crew.

This session was extra special as it was also a celebration of their baby girl’s very first birthday. They brought the cutest little cake, fully expecting a classic smash moment—but she had other plans. Instead of diving in, she gave the cake a few suspicious pokes, looked around like we were all crazy, and decided she'd rather keep her hands clean. One of my favorite things about family sessions is seeing each kid’s personality slowly warm up as the session unfolds—and watching Everly’s cautious eyes turn into a full-face smile by the end was such a sweet reward. She took her time, studied me carefully at first (as she should!), but little by little, she let those walls down.

Thank you, Torres family, for trusting me with these memories. I hope they bring you joy for years to come.
