Being with Christian and Chloe in Hawaii is such a dream! Having fun with them and taking photos of them is therapeutic for my momma’s heart. Love these two so much and they are definitely a match made in heaven!

Hawaii’s beauty is beyond words. I am so honored that I get to experience a real coffee farm and even discovered a little nest while I was there. Unreal.
The coconut macaroons at this place were AMAZING!!!

Get outside and be astounded regularly by God’s creation. There are so may facets of Him and He reveals Himself and heals you through nature. I will never forget this hike with my daughter (Chloe) and son-in-law (Christian)…in HAWAII. It was almost a four mile hike and most of it felt like the jungle. We even picked a wild fruit to eat and I found several streams of clean water to wash my face. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.

Spring was very satisfying this year. I made sure I took my time looking deeply and capturing beauty as life in nature unfolded in front of me. Loved every minute because peace and inspiration filled my soul.
All images were taken on the west side of The Morton Arboretum >>> Lake Marmo, The Thornhill Education Center, and The Fragrance Garden.

When it comes to picking out a photographer for your family, I think it all boils down to how the photographer edits his/her photos. We all can take a photo with the same pose, same equipment, same stats, but our individual decisions on how to edit will give you a glimpse of our style and personality. So hopefully you’ll see enough consistency in the photographer’s work to know what you like and don’t like and make your decision accordingly.
