Brothers
A mini session in the park, getting to know these soon-to-be brothers.
Sunrise at the Tulip Festival
For me, Family Photography sessions are all about capturing a moment in time. It’s not about how they look, or what they wear in and of themselves, it’s about what that says about who they ARE right now. In this moment that we never get back. In the time that is so precious because it’s spent together.
FULL DISCLOSURE:
Photographers kids don’t all love to be photographed. I mean, lets be real- I felt the same when I was that age and I’m certainly still now more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. So I get it. Having your picture taken may not be the worlds most comfortable situation, but I’m […]
It’s time to play
It’s been a long year. And I don’t just mean 2020’s monthly Hunger Games challenges (though they are enough in and of themselves).

Confessions
Oh the sweet relief. This week is “take down all the Christmas decorations at the church” week for me. It’s a big project that is less enjoyable than putting it up, but nevertheless has to be done. It feels much more like a chore, but today it became a blessing for me. I was sorting […]
Happy New Year
2018 was…. full. But I know what’s coming next year.
