Welcoming Wylder | A Beautiful Family Session in Western New York

Every time I photograph Karly and Nick, it feels like I’m adding to the pages of a love story I’ve had the honor to witness from the start. This session was extra special—we were celebrating the arrival of their second child, a beautiful baby boy named Wylder.

We returned to the same property where we’ve captured their memories before—land that belongs to Nick now, and where they dream of building their family home. It’s a place filled with meaning and love, and it always sets the perfect stage for their story.

Watching their oldest bond with his new baby brother was incredibly heartwarming. I captured little moments of laughter, curiosity, and pride between them—memories they’ll hold close forever. As always, I made sure to pull mom and dad aside for a few portraits together, highlighting the connection they share as a couple, not just as parents. Their love continues to glow, and it’s a joy to witness every single time.

Karly and Nick are not just clients—they’re friends. Documenting this chapter of their life and welcoming baby Wylder into their story was a true privilege. It’s sessions like these that remind me exactly why I do what I do.
