Spring brings a unique charm to family photos, and the Majer family wanted to capture this season with a fun photo session. The goal was simple: photograph their daughters in lovely spring dresses, celebrating the arrival of warm weather. We chose Fells Point in Baltimore as our backdrop. This location, rich in history and full of picturesque scenes, was perfect. Our aim was to create memories that the Majer family will cherish for years to come.
The Value of Family Photos in Spring
Springtime is an ideal season for family photos. The flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and the sun is warm. This is the perfect place to take pictures of family life. These photos are more than just images; they freeze a moment in time. They allow families to look back and remember the joy of being together. Spring family photos also symbolize new beginnings, growth, and the enduring bond that holds a family together.
For the Majer family, these spring photos are a celebration of life, warmth, and the special connection they share. The colorful dresses, vibrant surroundings, and genuine smiles all come together to create images that radiate happiness and love.
The Joy of Capturing Priceless Moments
Photographing the Majer family was a delightful experience. Their daughters were full of energy and excitement, making it easy to capture candid moments that truly reflected their personalities. The spontaneity of the children, combined with the relaxed atmosphere of a spring day, resulted in photos that are both natural and heartwarming. Capturing these priceless moments is what makes family photography so rewarding. Each image tells a story of love, laughter, and the simple joys of life.
Gear Talk: The Tools Behind the Photos
To ensure that every detail of this spring family session was captured with precision, I used the following gear:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III: This camera is known for its outstanding image quality, making it the perfect choice for family photography. Its ability to handle different lighting conditions allowed me to capture clear, vibrant images throughout the session.
- EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Lens: The 35mm f/1.4 lens was ideal for this shoot. It provided sharp, detailed images while allowing me to work closely with the family, capturing intimate moments with beautiful depth of field. The wide aperture was perfect for isolating subjects and creating a soft, pleasing background blur that highlighted the warmth and charm of spring.

“These are moments we would otherwise only hold onto in our memories and, we think, will be our most cherished photos.”
With the arrival of our second child and many friends and close relatives scattered across the country, we felt it was time to get serious about capturing and sharing this moment in our growing family’s life. We had long resisted hiring a professional, tired of seeing the same old photos and skeptical of anyone’s ability to truly capture this exciting and fleeting time. We chose Jiho because of his extraordinary ability to be friendly enough to make you entirely comfortable with his presence while also somehow constantly recording what often turn out to be striking, well-composed, high-quality images.
Because we wanted authenticity, we invited Jiho to hang out with us in our home, in our neighborhood, and in our city. He gently urged us to let him photograph our morning routine, pajamas and all, and beautifully captured the ordinary and mundane. These are moments we would otherwise only hold onto in our memories and, we think, will be our most cherished photos. We hope we will have many more opportunities to work with Jiho in this lifetime.
