When editing is as much fun as shooting. Sometimes I don’t understand the concept of showing the client all their unedited photos because how is it possible for them understand the vision in the photographer’s head? The finished photo can go in so many directions. I enjoy this one.

Sanew {Family}

Out of all my clients, I think Mom Danielle here is a lot like me. First of all, she has four children like I do…three girls, one boy! :) I appreciate Danielle’s easy-going personality and I’ve observed how that has rubbed off on her children; they are also kind, compassionate, and fun to be with. If you were to take a look at my list of clients and the number of photos they have in my external library, the Sanew family is probably top six families with the most photos I’ve taken. We’ve had lots of sessions!! I’ve also had the privilege of doing newborn sessions with her last two children and that was a huge blast for me. But what I love most about Danielle, and it has been time tested, is her love for preserving moments with her children and she values what I do as an artist and photographer! She understands that we are not promised tomorrow and she knows her children grow up and change at a very fast rate. Having a large family myself and I know how hard it is to have photos done year after year…I can’t tell you how proud I am to work with clients that make sacrifices to get across my camera. I TRULY love this family and their photos get more amazing every year!

Kimberly + David {One Year}

I want to wish Kimberly + David a Happy One Year Anniversary! When they eloped last year, Kimberly’s ring wasn’t ready so they tied a string on her finger. This is one year later and they came to me on a beautiful fall day to show me the ring that David personally designed for her; and it was a beauty! I love these two. Perfect example of when clients become dear friends!
