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

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

When some of your friends finally got in front of the camera for family portraits…it only took NINE years! :) LOVE these three to pieces and beyond thankful for them!

“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” ~ Earl Nightingale
