I got to share an amazing afternoon with this family recently. Their little man was SO good considering we were out on the hottest day I could think of at the beginning of June. We wandered through this gorgeous area and some of my favorite shots were when mom and dad were unsuspecting that I was actually shooting. I am a photographer that very much believes in keeping my clients as comfortable and therefore natural as possible. I try not to pose people and let them find thei

Extended families are always so much fun to photograph. I had the pleasure of shooting the little man in these pictures for my spring minis and then mom wanted some pictures of her extended family. Her brother was only going to be able to visit for a very short time and she really wanted to capture some memories of Uncle with his nephew.

I love offering minis because it gives mom (or dad) the chance to just have fun, update the family pictures and not worry about being behind the camera. I very much believ

I always love when I get a phone call from a client. This mom contacted me wanting some portraits for her daughter (in studio) and afterwards some family pictures outdoors. She said her son and husband might be a bit reluctant to be in pictures. I told her we would focus on her daughter and sneek them in for as many as we could. Well...the boys were great and pretty much did whatever I asked them to do! I love the shots of big brother playing with his car. He had packed it ar
