The Magic of a Sunday Morning Stroll Through Hester Park
Capturing the Magic of Today with a Growing Family
Bianca, Apollo, Jackson, & Aiden are claiming JOY and they want to commemorate every moment of a new special season in their lives. Their "Baby Dolphin" (as they've so sweetly dubbed the newest family member while they wait) is due in September 2026. So on a GORGEOUS day in early March, we all met up at Hester Park to capture this moment in the life of their sweet family.
To start out, ZCC loves to make sure a family is comfortable and natural. We love how easily Aiden (left) cracked up throughout this whole photoshoot!

The Twins
Let's talk about these kind, respectful, DAPPER young men! Rumor has it they are beyond excited to be big brothers. You just know they are going to be able to show their little sibling the ropes about how to be the coolest kid in town.



Mom & Dad
Bianca & Apollo emanate sweetness! They have such an easy way together. And they are so intentional about their time with each son.





The Family Portrait(s)


The Bump
With her family behind her every step of the way, this Mama is savoring the joy of a long anticipated pregnancy.

Celebrating the Expansion
To showcase these fantastic family shirts they ordered, we wandered to the other side of the pond at Hester Park to use these bright, happy murals for the second half of the shoot.




Final Family Shot
For the last family portrait, Aiden suggested facing the water and we LOVED this. And of course, ZCC had to sneak one more poignant candid on the walk back to the car.


ZCC was so happy to be able to celebrate this moment in this family's story.
