THE BRIGGS FAMILY || BOYS WILL BE BOYS

I am having so much fun meeting so many new families this fall. The light and the colors have been beautiful. It’s been warm a lot longer, it’s been pretty rainy and the leaves on the trees haven’t really changed yet, so I’m hoping that means we have a longer photography season and I can […]

AWE! I loved working with this family. I could tell right away that they weren’t extremely comfortable getting their photos taken, who is?, but I wanted them to have a good experience and to have photos they would love.

THE GROENEWOLD FAMILY || KIDS WILL BE KIDS

There really are places in the heart you don’t even know exist  until you love a child. ~Anne Lamott   I am naturally an extrovert. I love being around people. I’m a talker.

Family pictures are HARD. I totally GET IT!! You’re trying to find the perfect outfit that matches and “goes” together, without being matchy, matchy. You’ve scoured Pinterest boards, and put together colors, and you find something for the kids, and the hubby and then you realize that you have no idea what you’re going to […]
