Expectations

It is so fun to meet new families.  I try not to go into a session with expectations of getting two hours of photography.  But it is hard for me to stop shooting when my camera hasn't yet captured what my minds eye really wants.  The whole thing should be about having fun and capturing personalities and true family interactions.  Those are the photographs you stay up late pouring over once your children start growing up and changing. 

Sometimes a session only lasts a short time, and sometimes a short time is all we really need. I'm always learning.

Baby Love

What a pleasure it was for me to work with this beautiful and loving family.  Babies are always such a joy to photograph.  And some of the best fun comes from watching the parents ooogle over their most cherished treasure.  

Thank you Russell Family!!!

Through the eyes of a child

I'm so blessed to get to photograph this sweet family and watch this little boy grow.  His wonderful personality truly shines through.  He is all about exploring and having fun.  He is such a joy!

Thank you again Miller Family!

Congrats to the new parents

I love photographing babies!  They don't have to be human, just tiny and new to the world.  I was super excited when asked to photograph nine baby puppies this past weekend.

I love this image most of all.  Mommy tries to go get some rest 

and the little ones just can't let her go.  Any mommy can relate.

Thank you Pattersons for asking me to

photograph your precious puppies and beautiful family!

One of my all time faves!

Thank you Mathews Family for allowing me to capture this season of life for you all.

Your gift of friendship has meant more to me than you will ever know.
