There’s something magical about a family photoshoot in the fields of the Hudson Valley—especially in that golden hour light when everything feels just a little softer, a little slower, and a lot more meaningful.

This recent family session was one of those dreamy evenings that felt like a page out of a storybook. Set against the gentle greens and blooming wildflowers of late spring, the session had a quiet, effortless beauty—and a lot of that came down to the thoughtful styling and soft color palette this family chose.

Let’s talk about that dress.

Mom wore a flowy, feminine gown from Don’t Stress the Dress—a rental company I absolutely adore. The soft floral print and pastel tones were the perfect complement to the setting. The dress moved beautifully with each breeze and made her look like she’d stepped out of a romantic painting. Ethereal doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Even better? A dress rental from Don’t Stress the Dress is included complimentary with all of my signature sessions. Because I believe moms deserve to feel amazing and stress-free during their shoot. No last-minute shopping, no second-guessing—just an easy, beautiful option that photographs like a dream.

The rest of the family followed suit with outfits in muted pastels and soft textures. Think blush, sage, ivory, and dusty blue—colors that always play well with the natural tones of the Hudson Valley. It all came together to create that “effortless but intentional” look I love so much.

And truly, that’s the goal of every session: to capture your family in a way that feels elevated but real. Beautiful, but never overdone. Honest, but full of heart.

If you’re dreaming of a family session that feels soft, connected, and just a little magical—this is your sign. Let’s make it happen. And don’t worry, I’ve got the dress covered.
