This session was good for my soul. It was on a day where I really needed the perfect weather, the perfect light, and the perfect family to cheer me up. And that is exactly what I got! I left for this session straight from my friend Kathi’s house, after saying goodbye to her as she...
Love. Love. Love. Beautiful pictures!
I met this family several years ago, and in the time since I met them, I’ve always been impressed by the sweet interactions among each other. A large family, with extra large hearts. Twins! Thanks, Dallas, for serving our country! (he’s a Marine) These two are the best.

Pretty nice blog post! This has been a really wonderful post. Many thanks for shearing this info.
These babies sure are making me baby hungry. I can’t help it. It could be that I just want to rewind time and enjoy my own babies a little bit… It’s nice to snuggle and cuddle a sweet new baby. And it’s also nice to sleep a whole night through. So, really, this is probably...

I absolutely love these pictures! You are amazing Shannon. We will treasure them forever.
This little guy. Such a sweet baby. His parents watched my four (grown older) babies while I went to Japan, so the least I could do was capture their little man! I took a break from shooting for a couple months, so it felt good to get back in the groove with such a sweet...

When I talked about this blog being a place where I celebrate the good things in my life, there is nothing better than these guys. (well, Dave too… but he’s not in the shots here) I captured these images nearly a year ago. In the meantime, Matthew has grown a bunch and gotten braces. Franklin...

Yes I totally agree, God does care about good photography. We had just such a moment as you described a year ago Christmastime.

You put it soooo perfectly- about why pictures are important to us. (Except women more than men, I think.) But yes, it does make you feel a surge of love in your heart when you see your children peaceful and happy, even when you know that chaos was actually happening in the milliseconds before and after. And also how it does save, in a small, precious way, who they were then, and looking back later you just can’t believe how much they’ve changed.
And your photos are gorgeous. And your children are too. And your words.
Such treasures! your children, your pictures, your words!!! Wow Shannon!!!
I’m laughing so hard right now. It was a beautiful post and you can always say what I’m feeling (get out of my head). But I am soooo that yelling mom when we’re getting family pictures done! But in my defense, my kids are the only kids on the planet who don’t cooperate during picture time. It’s really not my fault.
Love the silouhette pic!
