It’s always an honor getting to work with another photographer’s family. You get to collaborate during the session, and trust Natalie to find all the best golden hour pockets of light. Another bonus, it’s extra special when you’ve known the mom since you were both teenagers yourselves. Back in the day, we both did the high school musicals. And around the 46 minute mark you can see one of our dance numbers together in Pippin (Natalie is on the left, I’m in the middle).

But back to the present, Natalie is just as fun and adorable as always.

Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to St. Edwards Park to check out the wildflowers in bloom.

I loved getting to capture each girl’s personality.

And the family dog’s personality as well 😉 Hi, Satsuma!

The wildflowers were putting on quite a show.

Which meant we had to put on a show back 😉 Or at least the only one wanting to do splits would…

Thank you, S. Family!

And thanks to Natalie for taking some behind the scenes pics as well.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?

I have known Stephanie for more than 20 years! We both grew up in New Orleans, and went to high school together where we were both in the drama club and performed in shows together. 🙂

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?

The location Stephanie suggested was spectacular.

3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?

Let Stephanie direct you! She was great at moving us around, telling us where to look, and how to make ourselves feel as natural as possible while she was shooting.

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

It was so much FUN. Stephanie is such an easy person to be around and completely put our whole family at ease!!
