A Farewell Filled with Laughter: The Braas Family’s Final Session
Family Photos | Cosumnes River Preserve
This was such a special session for me. The Braas family—Trevor, Kelly, Mabel, Ember, Maverick, and baby Wrenley—mean the world to us, and this photoshoot was especially emotional because they’re about to move across the country. We were all in our feels the whole time, capturing moments that we’ll all hold close as they start their new adventure.
I’ve had the joy of photographing their family over the last couple of years, including baby Wrenley’s newborn session, and seeing their kids’ unique personalities come out has been such a gift. Mabel, Ember, Maverick and even Wrenley are all full of life, and they each brought their own personality to the session. Each one of them brings something special to their family dynamic, and I was so honored to capture that. For their final session here, Kelly envisioned something laid-back and fun—she wanted their photos to show the joy and love they share as a family, creating lasting memories of them simply being together.
We headed to Cosumnes River Preserve for the session, and wow—the location was perfect! The golden light and early fall colors set the scene beautifully. Their outfits totally nailed it too, blending perfectly with the warm tones of the preserve. It was one of those sessions where everything just came together, and we had the best time.
Editing these photos was bittersweet. By then, we had already said our goodbyes, and I couldn’t help but tear up as I went through each image. Every shot reminded me of the laughter, the love, and all the memories we’ve shared with this amazing family.
Braas family, we’re going to miss you all so much! I’m grateful for the opportunity to capture one last set of memories before your big move. I know this new adventure is part of God’s bigger plan, and we’re praying for nothing but the best as you embark on this journey. Already missing you more than words can say! You’re in our hearts and prayers as you start this new chapter. Already missing you more than you know! 💛
