First, it was a meeting at a Starbucks, then engagement photos, then a wedding…and THIS was their first family portrait session with their pups. Wonder what’s next? :) Love these two and this is how I know God favors me when He continually sends me such wonderful clients.

I love the Sanews and these guys make family portraits a high priority. On this day of their photo session, there was a slow-burn happening in the forest which happens to be part of their backyard, I worried about it for one second but then realized that it would make such an interesting background and the smoke gave it a cool vibe. We always have fun…that’s for sure!

Another year, another amazing portrait session for the Plungis family! We had a little adventure at Herrick Lake and it started raining right after we wrapped. A, A, X, and K…you have my freaking heart!

“This. Is. Everything. All the hard work. Supporting of each other. Good times. Painful times. Times when you want to give up. When real life gets too real. When you see the worst in someone and they see the worst in you and you stand by each other anyway. When you see someone go through the pain of growing despite how easy it may seem to remain the same. This moment. This is what it’s all about.” ~ AP 11/07/17

I adore the Scott family. The weather was getting cold on us this last week of October but we still managed to get beautiful images. So blessed to see these guys every portrait season since Charlotte was a little baby. :)

These guys go ALL OUT for Halloween! :)))

“Have fun with your family. Be kind. Make no room for regrets. Tomorrow is not promised and today is short.”
