There are days that feel like they were pulled straight from a dream, and our session with the Millers at Oakes Farm was exactly that. Between the endless rows of vibrant tulips and the blue Smoky Mountain skies, every moment felt full of color, light, and joy — the perfect way to celebrate Grayson’s second birthday!

Grayson was a natural explorer, loving every minute surrounded by the flowers. He especially loved bending down to sniff the tulips, flashing that sweet smile that could melt anyone’s heart. (Just look at that happy little face in the fields!) 🌷

Of course, as much as he loved the blooms, the real highlight of the day for Grayson was the tractors! Oakes Farm has some gorgeous vintage tractors scattered throughout the fields, and Grayson’s eyes lit up the second he spotted them. Whether he was “driving” the big yellow tractor with pure glee or concentrating intently while investigating every button and lever on the green one, it was clear we had found his happy place.

We wrapped up the afternoon with some time on the giant slides and chasing bubbles — pure two-year-old bliss. Grayson’s laughter echoing through the farm made it a day none of us will ever forget.

Sessions like this are such a reminder of why I love capturing real, joyful moments. Thank you to the Millers for trusting me to freeze these memories in time — and happiest second birthday to sweet Grayson! Here’s to many more adventures, tractor rides, and tulip fields ahead. 🚜🌸
