Making a lasting memory of a baby during its whirlwind of a childhood is like trying to preserve footprints in the sand as the tide comes in. Kids grow so fast, and forget with such ease. So this family decided to capture the joy their baby John felt at his young age before he grew too old to be dazzled by cresting waves and sand castles. Julia Wade Photography created the perfect mood for a carefree day on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, complete with sunshine, puddy-like sand, and even some downward facing dog poses with Rachel, a mom and yogi extraordinaire.



Julia Wade Photography didn’t just hone in on the baby; she also captured the bigger picture. Instead of making a timeline of just the baby’s life, the photographer tried to tell the story of the married couple’s relationship. That was when everything fell into place. They loved each other, and somehow managed to love their son the same, breathtaking amount. What a great sentiment to preserve, with the bonus of capturing it against the beautiful backdrop of a beach during sunrise!






Thanks to Julia Wade Photography for sharing such a heartwarming photo session! We hope it will last as a great memory for the whole family.
