Southern Sunrise at the Rose Garden

A Family & Maternity Session on Film by Fauna & Film

As the first light of morning spilled over Delano Park in Decatur, Alabama, a quiet magic unfolded. Nestled in the garden’s soft blooms and dappled light, sisters Rose and Robyn of Fauna & Film captured a tender chapter of motherhood and connection on film.

Shot entirely on Portra 800, Fuji 400 35mm, and Portra 400 120 film, this family and maternity session radiates a kind of intimacy that can only be achieved when the photographer’s presence is as grounded and nurturing as the scene itself. With their unique sister-led approach, Fauna & Film offers more than just images; they create a space for presence, reflection, and heirloom creation.

In their words:

“The process of photographing families and preserving core memories is deeply personal, from the initial session planning to the treasured artwork those images become.”

This session is a love letter to slow mornings, southern light, and the quiet joy of growing families. With each click of the shutter, Rose and Robyn have created more than a gallery, they’ve told a story of legacy and belonging.
