Szumla Family | Leesylvania State Park – Haylo Photo by Heather

Now, this is the way you do Mother’s Day! Natascha is such a wonderful, deserving mom and I can’t be happier for her and her beautiful family. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long since the Missouri days, but I am so happy that we are close enough now and were able to do some family pictures after TJ’s arrival.

When Natascha asked me if I could do family pictures once TJ was born, I started counting the days! I photographed Kiera 4-ish years ago back in Missouri, now she’s SO tall, and the best big sister!

Tim drove the family down to Leesylvania State Park all the way from Baltimore for their session. He’s quite the trooper, he did everything I asked him too, even when pictures aren’t his favorite thing to do. When TJ needed a bottle break, Tim jumped at it. Such a good daddy.

We lucked out with the weather finally! We had to postpone once already because of the rain and I was honestly a little worried over this weekend too because it hadn’t stopped raining for three days, but…look at those blue skies we were blessed with! It was nice and warm too, yay! It all worked out the way it was supposed to, and on Mother’s Day to top it all. They have so much to be thankful for and I am super happy for them. TJ was such a tiny, laid back, bundle, and just the cutest!

Ok, ok…pictures! Here are some of my favorites from our time together!

How proud does she look?!

I love the ole ‘one eye’, and as Tim called this on the right, “the Lion King”. HA!

*Sigh* all those sweet baby details! <3
I love seeing these relationships! So much love!

Showing off that Orioles gear!
