Smith Family | Trexler Nature Preserve Family Photos | Schnecksville, PA

I recently had the incredible honor of photographing the Smith family, a couple whose wedding I captured 10 years ago. It’s always special to be part of someone’s journey, but coming back after a decade to photograph their family was truly a full-circle moment.

I still remember their wedding day—the laughter, the tears, and all the love they shared as they started their new life together. Fast forward 10 years, and here they are, with the sweetest daughter who brought so much joy to the session. Watching them as parents now, I was struck by how much they’ve grown, not just as a couple, but as a family.

For me, sessions like these remind me of why I do what I do. It’s not just about the photos; it’s about documenting life’s milestones and the beautiful journey between them. Seeing a couple I photographed on their wedding day now creating new memories with their child is such a rewarding experience. It’s these moments that tell the real story of love and family, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of both chapters for the Smiths.
