A Sweet First Mother's Day at the Murphy Windmill

By Matt Dea ·

There’s something timeless about early morning light filtering through the trees at Golden Gate Park, and on this particular Mother’s Day, it was made even more special by a new family of three.

I had the joy of photographing a beautiful session at the Murphy Windmill with a mom, dad, and their 10-week-old baby boy. It was their first Mother’s Day: a quiet morning full of fresh beginnings and gentle cuddles.

What made this session especially sweet was the love shown in every look between them. It was a calm, golden kind of morning, the kind you want to hold onto forever.

Here’s to first milestones, new chapters, and the start of a very special journey.
