Some sessions stop us in our tracks. This is one of them.
Our portrait and family specialist CJ is expecting baby number two — and we are absolutely over the moon. She and her husband Kyle brought two-year-old Issac into the studio for the sweetest pregnancy announcement session, and honestly, we are still smiling about every single frame.
Watching Issac discover what it means to be a big brother — in real time, in front of the camera — was everything. He is curious, full of energy, and completely himself. We have a feeling he is going to take this big brother role and absolutely run with it.
Sessions like this are exactly why we love what we do. There is something so special about being trusted with the moments that matter most — not just for our clients, but for our own people. CJ has photographed hundreds of families inside these walls, and getting to turn the camera around and capture her own growing family in the same space felt like a full-circle kind of moment.
Baby number two is joining a studio family that already adores them — and we simply cannot wait.
CJ is our portrait and family specialist here at Lightly Photography in Fort Worth, and if you have ever been in front of her camera, you already know how talented and warm she is. We are so lucky to have her, and so excited to watch her family grow.
