A Fave

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...

Kathi - Love. Love. Love. Beautiful pictures!

Celebrating Them.

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...

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

Again, I love your writing. I can always totally relate to it. It has always been so. Take care friend.

Kayli - 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.

Brenda - 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.

I adore this family. You could honestly feel the love just radiating from them, and their home was filled with such joy and laughter. Not an easy feat, considering they had three kids under 2! But they take it all in stride. It was so much fun for me to watch how much they cherished...

Back safe and sound

Japan was SO much fun. Such a great adventure! I’m planning a big blog post soon, but I’ve got a ton of images to sort through first. I’m finally caught up on sleep after sleeping for nearly a whole weekend. I highly recommend returning from a big trip on a Friday morning so you can...
