Beautiful Girls

I've known these girls since they were born and their parents much, much longer. Their mom and I went to middle school together and their dad went to our high school. They've been together more than 20 years now (since high school) and have an absolutely beautiful family. The girls are growing into beautiful, spirited young ladies - Dad is in for it!

What an honor to get to spend some time with them capturing the personality of their family. We enjoyed exploring the park and looking for creatures - they even found a nice worm :)

Enjoy!

Colby

We had a great time with Colby, his mom and his grandparents in their backyard where Colby loves to water plants, dig in the dirt and play in the pool. I just love photographing kids in an environment where they feel comfortable. Like most 2 year olds, Colby was a little shy at first, but as soon as we went outside there was no stopping him.

Enjoy the photographs!

Cousins!!

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph these four cousins a couple of weeks ago - they were so much fun and reminded me a lot of my kids and their cousins. They all have a great time together, are obviously very close and are very sweet to each other.

This shoot was a kind of surreal experience for me because I knew the father of the boys way back in elementary school. When looking through the lens to photograph his boys it was like looking into a time machine.

Enjoy the photos!

Congratulations Delaney

Mazie's sister, Delaney, recently celebrated her First Communion and we were honored to be asked to help commemorate the special occasion with a special shoot for Delaney. She was a joy to work with.

Enjoy the photos!

Mazie's Day

We had such a wonderful time photographing Mazie for her senior portraits. She's a beautiful young lady with a very bright future. Congratulations!

Changing Fast

I did a follow up shoot with this beautiful family about three weeks after they had come home with their beautiful daughter. You can see the images from their previous shoot here. When hired to photograph newborns we like to do a shoot as soon after they are born as possible to capture all the newness and then schedule a follow up shoot when everyone has had a chance to settle into all of the changes a newborn brings. Babies change so fast and this is a great way to preserve those precious memories when things might be a bit of a blur.

Enjoy!

Baby Day

I was honored to be invited to photograph this terrific group of little ones at a play date in the park. The moms of these adorable children get together each week and enjoy each other's company while the kids play (and have snacks) under a shade tree. As I was watching the kids through my lens I could imagine the scene a couple of years from now with little ones running everywhere.

Enjoy!
