Laing Family | Newborn Family Session at Tunnel Springs Park
There is something magical about springtime in Utah, especially when the hills at Tunnel Springs Park come alive with lush green grass, warm sunshine, and comfortable temperatures. This beautiful family of four couldn't have picked a more perfect evening to celebrate their newest addition.
As a Utah family and newborn photographer, I love documenting families during this special season of life. Those first few weeks with a new baby pass by so quickly, and preserving these moments becomes something you'll treasure for years to come.
This family chose beautiful coordinating shades of blue for their outfits, which complemented the vibrant green landscape perfectly. Rather than matching exactly, each family member wore different tones of blue that created a cohesive, timeless look without feeling overly styled.
Coordinated colors help keep the focus where it belongs—on the connection between your family.
Photographing families with both a newborn and a toddler is always filled with genuine moments. While toddlers rarely want to sit still for long, that's exactly what makes these sessions so meaningful.
Some of my favorite images came from letting their toddler simply interact with Mom, Dad, and the new baby naturally. Whether it was curious little hugs, playful smiles, or quiet cuddles, every moment reflected the joy of becoming a family of four.
One of the most meaningful moments from this session was when Mom peacefully breastfed her newborn surrounded by the soft spring landscape.
Breastfeeding is a journey that deserves to be remembered. These quiet moments of comfort, nourishment, and connection often become some of the most cherished photographs in a family's gallery. They tell a story that goes beyond posed portraits—a story of love, sacrifice, and the incredible bond between mother and baby.
If breastfeeding is part of your family's story, I always welcome the opportunity to document it in a way that feels natural, respectful, and beautiful.
Tunnel Springs Park is one of my favorite locations for family photography in northern Utah. During the spring, the rolling green hills create a timeless backdrop that feels both natural and peaceful. The soft evening light paired with the fresh landscape makes every image feel warm, airy, and full of life.
The mild spring weather made this session especially enjoyable. There was just enough warmth to keep everyone comfortable—including their sweet newborn—while their energetic toddler had plenty of room to explore, laugh, and play.
While we captured plenty of smiling portraits together, some of the most treasured images were the candid ones—the tiny newborn stretches, toddler giggles, gentle forehead kisses, and the peaceful moments in between.
These are the photographs that transport you back to exactly how this season of life felt.
