You know what happens every fall? The kids get a You know what happens every fall?

The kids get a little taller.

Their faces change.

The clothes they wore last year don't fit anymore.

And somehow another year has passed.

That’s why I love fall family sessions so much. It isn't really about getting everyone dressed up and smiling for a photo.

It’s about having a record of who your family was right now.

This year's version of them.

Fall 2026 sessions are officially underway, and I have limited availability remaining.

If you've been putting off family photos, don't wait until the leaves are gone.

Let's make some memories while they're still this little.
Fall sessions are officially happening, and I have Fall sessions are officially happening, and I have just a few openings left.

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll get family photos done this fall, this is your reminder that fall has a way of disappearing very quickly.

One minute we’re waiting for the leaves to change and the next we’re talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I still have a limited number of fall session dates available, but my calendar is getting tight.

If you want the fall colors, the pretty evening light and photos you can actually have printed before the holidays, now is the time to book.

Send me a message here or use my contact form on my website for more information
It’s officially fall session season around here. It’s officially fall session season around here.

Which means the pretty light, changing leaves, cozy sweaters and all the little moments that make family photos feel like fall are coming back.

My fall calendar is already filling FAST, and I have limited availability remaining for this season.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, now is the time to get on the calendar. Once those remaining dates are gone, that’s it for fall 2026.

I’d love to see your family this year. Message me for link to book!!
Can we bring this back? Because shirtless dads us Can we bring this back?

Because shirtless dads used to be a THING in my newborn studio.

I’m talking tattooed arms, sleepy newborns, and that very specific kind of newborn photo that somehow makes dad look like he just wandered onto the set of a Calvin Klein ad. 

This image is from 2017, and I actually used to have “shirtless dad” as an option on my session questionnaire because SO many dads wanted one.

And honestly?

I kind of miss it.

There’s something about a tiny newborn curled up against dad’s chest that just works. It’s simple, masculine, intimate, and completely different from the traditional family portrait.

So I’m officially asking:

Are we bringing back the shirtless dads?

Because I’m ready. 

If you’re expecting a baby and your husband is thinking, “Absolutely not,” just show him this photo.

He may reconsider.
What Happens When We Finish I always notice the c What Happens When We Finish

I always notice the change at the end of a newborn session.

At the beginning, parents are usually watching everything.

Is the baby okay?

Is the baby hungry?

Is the baby comfortable?

Are we getting enough pictures?

Then somewhere along the way, they relax.

They stop watching the clock.

They stop worrying about whether the baby is going to sleep.

They start looking at the photographs.

And by the end, everybody is just tired.

Baby is tired.

Parents are tired.

I'm tired.

And somehow we have a gallery full of photographs that didn't exist a few hours earlier.

That's a pretty good way to spend a morning.
When you love what you do, can you really call it When you love what you do, can you really call it work? #angelamcnaulphotography #bestjobever❤️ #newbornphotography
A pretty newborn photograph is easy to recognize. A pretty newborn photograph is easy to recognize.

Beautiful baby.

Beautiful prop.

Beautiful lighting.

Everything is technically right.

But a good photograph?

That's different.

A good photograph makes you recognize the baby.

You look at it and immediately think:

"That's her."

"That's his little face."

"That's the way he sleeps."

"That's the exact expression she makes."

That's what I'm looking for.

Pretty is nice.

But recognizable is better.

Because your baby isn't just a newborn.

They're your newborn.
This happens all the time. Mom says: "I really d This happens all the time.

Mom says:

"I really don't want to be in the pictures."

And I get it.

You've just had a baby.

You probably haven't slept.

You may not feel like yourself.

You may not love the way your body looks right now.

You may have spent the entire morning making sure everyone else is ready.

But here's what I want you to know.

I'm not interested in making you look like a model.

I'm interested in making you look like their mom.

Because when your baby is 10 years old, they aren't going to look at that photograph and critique your hair.

They're going to see you holding them.

And I think you'll be glad you were there.
