A Magical Photoshoot with Baylie and Her Adorable Kids at the Train Car Museum

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Baylie and her two adorable children, Brooks and Quinn, at the Train Car Museum in Douglas, Wyoming. Our journey began with a quick drive from Casper, Wyoming, setting the stage for what would be an unforgettable photoshoot.

Baylie, a stunning mother with a heart full of love for her children, was styled in a gorgeous Marissa Webb Collective dress. The elegance of her attire was perfectly complemented by her chic Tony Bianco shoes, adding a touch of sophistication to the shoot. Her makeup and hair, done by the incredibly talented Kelsey from Groovy Babe Beauty, turned out phenomenal (per usual if you know Kelsey’s work!). You can check out Kelsey’s amazing work on her Instagram here.

Brooks, a lively two-year-old boy, and Quinn, an enchanting four-year-old girl, looked absolutely adorable in their outfits. The outfits for the kids, sourced from Amazon, were a perfect fit for the vintage charm of the Train Car Museum.

The Walkway to the Train Cars

We began our shoot on the walkway leading to the train cars, capturing the anticipation and excitement in the eyes of Baylie and her children. The long, wooden path with its rustic charm set against the backdrop of the historic train cars created a perfect blend of modern elegance and vintage allure. The walkway, surrounded by grass and the depot, framed Baylie and her kids beautifully, making their big blue eyes sparkle with joy and curiosity.

Inside the Passenger Car

Next, we moved into the passenger car, where the vintage seats and classic decor provided a beautiful backdrop for capturing candid moments. The soft, natural light filtering through the old windows created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The children’s playful antics on the plush, timeworn seats, combined with Baylie’s radiant smiles, resulted in a series of heartwarming images that tell a story of love and connection.

The Dining Car

The charm of the dining car was up next, offering a cozy and intimate setting for more heartfelt captures. The elegant, old-world decor of the dining car, with its beautifully set tables and classic furnishings, transported us to a bygone era. Baylie and her children shared tender moments over imaginary tea parties, their interactions filled with laughter and affection. The rich history embedded in the dining car’s walls added depth and character to the photographs.

The Grass Between Two Trains

Finally, we shot in the grass between two of trains, where the lush green provided a serene contrast to the historic iron giants. This open, natural setting allowed for spontaneous, joyful expressions and playful poses, complete with a little bit of sass from big sister Quinn. The expansive grassy area was perfect for capturing the kids’ boundless energy and Baylie’s graceful movements. The towering trains on either side framed the scene, emphasizing the unique location and adding a sense of adventure to the shoot.

Baylie’s warmth and genuine love for her children shone through in every shot. She is not only a wonderful mother but also a delightful person to be around. Her trust in my creative vision allowed me to bring my ideas to life, resulting in a collection of photographs that I am incredibly proud of.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. The trust and freedom my clients give me are what truly make me happy and fuel my creativity. I am honored to have captured this beautiful stage in Baylie’s life with her children, creating memories that they will cherish forever.

If anyone else is looking for a styled family session that captures the essence of their bond and the beauty of their moments together, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s create something magical together.
