Family Session

It’s so fun to reconnect with friends. Getting to catch up while photographing them is just an added bonus. A. and I have a dear friend in common. We met when we were both bridesmaids in her wedding years ago. Over the years we have run into each other, kept up through mutual friends, and even lived in the same town. Recently our sons started playing baseball together, so I now I get to see her more often. I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph her gorgeous family. Thanks, A! I had a wonderful visit and enjoyed getting to finally meet M. I loved watching you all together – laughing, smiling, playing, and just hanging out. The capture of that interaction is my favorite thing about these images. Your love for one another shines through.

I love this shot. As a mom of boys, I adore the candidness and boyishness of it:

I’ll be in touch soon with the rest of your gallery!

Over the river

and through the woods to Grandmother’s house we go went. Such a beautiful place! It stormed all night before and we were thankful for a break in the weather to shoot. I can’t believe that this little beauty is 3 already. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph her since she was a newborn, and she gets cuter every time I see her. I love hanging out with her and her and always have a great time visiting with her sweet mom. Thanks, A. for having me photograph Miss Reese for her birthday. And thanks, M. for letting us shoot at your beautiful home. Happy, happy birthday, Reese!

Class of 2010

I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted. I’m still here and still shooting, but on a much lighter schedule. More details on that to come, but for now I wanted to pop in and share this senior’s recent session. I have to say I had one of the best times during this shoot. I laughed almost the whole time. This fun guy was not only fun, but funny. Witty. Sarcastic. Just my style. He reminded me so much of my brother that I called him on the way home because spending time with this senior made me miss him.

Congratulations, S. on your graduation! Thanks for putting up with me and making me laugh. Best wishes!

Welcome, Baby K!

Pink has found a way into this family of boys. Baby sister K. arrived recently – and she is just as adorable as I imagined she would be. This little one’s mommy and I played ball together in college where we became dear friends and her home became my home-away-from-home. And where I met her husband and his incredible family whom we are also blessed to call dear friends. After several years of living out of state, the B. family recently moved home. We are so glad they did! It has been wonderful to reconnect and share life together again. Our boys are the same ages, and Baby K. now represents the only pink between our six kiddos. It was fun to photograph a little pink! Congrats, B. family on your sweet new addition. She is beautiful. We are so happy for you.

Sweet baby K -
