Occasionally, I will have someone request two locations for one theme of a photoshoot. This family in particular was really in love with the idea of beach newborn photos but also really liked the easiness of an in home lifestyle photoshoot. While photoshoots like this have to be done in two days, if it were an occasion like an older kiddos birthday that would be something we could do in one day. It's very "two birds, one stone", and you only need to get ready once for two photoshoots that day.
One really special thing about this photoshoot is that Mom is active duty Navy and Dad is a former Army Ranger. She wanted to combine the two services into props for their son. I was able to use her uniform hat and top and an American flag that he carried with him during his service. When families ask me to include props like these, I feel like it makes the images a lot more sentimental and meaningful.
