Diantoniis Family | Ocean Springs Family Photos

It was SUCH a pleasure meeting the Diantoniis family for this sweet family portrait session in Ocean Springs last weekend! They’re so new to the Gulf Coast that they don’t even know what it was like before COVID, but nonetheless they were excited to document this season of their life in this lovely place.

Precious Atlas did so well posing for me, especially when he got to play with his favorite toy tractor. :)

This handsome almost-one-year-old will be walking any day now!

I LOVE it when people bring meaningful objects to incorporate into their photos, and this fabulous quilt definitely fits the bill. It’s made from Kaci’s late father’s clothing, including a shirt she and Rick brought back from their honeymoon! So, so special.

Grandma happened to be in town for a visit, and we coaxed her into a few peekaboo photos. ;)

Beach time!

Atlas is a water baby for sure!

Kaci requested a few “naked baby” photos, and I must say I am OBSESSED with these. Can we get rid of cake smashes and make skinny dipping the new one-year-old milestone, please?

Thank you for spending time in front of my camera, Diantoniis family—it was truly a delight hanging out with you while we captured these memories. :)

I have room for a few more portrait sessions this fall; let me know if you want to get on my schedule! (Bonus points for skinny dipping babies, obviously. ;))
