Kocher Family Harley Session at Arbor Hills | Welcoming Baby Riley

Tiffany and her beautiful family recently welcomed their newest addition—sweet baby Riley, who arrived this past March. To celebrate her arrival, they booked a Harley session with me, and it turned into the perfect way to commemorate this special chapter.

We waited until Riley was a little older before heading out to Arbor Hills, which is especially lush and green this time of year thanks to all the spring rain we’ve had in North Texas. As a Plano photographer, I always love when nature gives us a vibrant, fresh backdrop like this one—it adds so much life to each photo.

Their oldest child, Addy, stole the show and ran the session like a total pro. From picking wildflowers to exploring the open fields, the energy and curiosity they brought made the shoot even more joyful. It’s always fun to let kids take the lead during family sessions—you never know what little moments they’ll create!

Patrick, the dad, has a grass allergy, so while we didn’t do too much frolicking, we still managed to capture all the sweet, natural moments the Kocher family was hoping for. There were snuggles, giggles, and plenty of love to go around.

As a family photographer in DFW, I love sessions like this—where real life meets real beauty. Whether you're welcoming a new baby like Riley or just want to celebrate your current season, a family photo shoot is the perfect way to press pause and soak it all in.

If you're searching for a DFW photographer who gets what real family life looks like (allergies, toddler energy, and everything in between), I’d love to help you capture your story.
