The .M. Family

Alisa and I, we get each other. She has two beautiful girls nearly the exact same ages as my two handsome men and while boys and girls are worlds apart three year olds across the board know what they want and one year olds simply love life and want to explore more of it. So we get it. It's that unique unspoken connection between mom's who are right there in the thick of it right alongside you. It's comforting!

I love shooting these girls and it was an absolute pleasure to incorporate mom and dad this time. There simply could not be a more gorgeous family both in front of the camera and behind!


I often encourage parents of little one's to bring a comforting toy or blanket. Leila brought "Monkey" and while he did appear in some of the photos I absolutely love to capture all of the special things that will bring back fond memories for the child. I think Leila will love this one of "Monkey"!

And while Leila snuggled "Monkey", Nina just needed Dad!



Couldn't decide which I loved more, this one;

Or this one;




Leila loves to dance and sing! That's definitely one big difference between my boys and these little girls, while Leila looks like a ballerina my Lincoln would look like a mosh pit member!

The .P. Family

I, of course, love these guys but I didn't realize how much until the other night when I did their session. Again, I cannot say how amazing this photog gig is! I get to know people in ways that I would have otherwise never seen. It's really awesome! They are such a fun loving, tight crew. I could definitely tell that they enjoy and cherish the relationships with each other and to tell the truth the girls reminded me of my sister and I, hugging one minute and wresting each other to the ground the next :)

The lighting for this session was amazing. If you are a budding photog and want one key piece of advice that will change the way your images look for the oh so better it is this; learn what good light is and FIND IT! Oh honey, it makes such a difference. I prefer sunset light but I can get by with open shade (found under thick trees, just before the sun rises and just after the sun sets) or back light (where the light is low enough to be positioned behind the subject). Call me crazy but I also love a good overcast day and provided the fog isn't too thick it can be a great natural diffuser!

Onto the P family!!

Another New Feature!

I'm just on a techy roll! Seriously though, my new client gallery feature is so fun. I've got it up and running and just for kicks I wanted to show you all a slideshow put together through my gallery of my last wedding. I will be doing these now from time to time on some sessions and hopefully on lots more weddings to showcase a few more images!
