A Is For Adorable.

I had the privilege to take these pictures for Amanda and Michael. They are a very sweet family and their little Caroline is such a happy baby. They really made the job fun. Enjoy a peak from our morning together.

Another Year Later

This is my third year photographing this family. My first time since they've been a family of four. It's always fun chasing Charlie around. Now I can't even keep up with him! The kid is constantly moving! He talks non stop. He moves a mile a minute! Although he's full of energy, he is still the sweet boy I've always known him to be. Anne has done a wonderful job with him. We were very fortunate to get one picture with all of them looking at the camera, with the help of that Star Wars card you see. Charlie was not about to let that card get out of his sight.

Michael is the complete opposite of Charlie. He just sat back, relaxed, and hung out the whole session. He'd look at the camera, he's smile when I would tickle him. He was a total ham.





And for this one I worked so hard to get Charlie to look....and what does his father do? Did someone say squirrel? Yeah. I love the death grip he has on Charlie though. Makes me laugh.



Thanks for the fun afternoon Barnard family!

Meet my fourth grade teacher. Miss Hunter.



Now, meet her family. You're going to have to endure a whole lot of pictures because I couldn't pick favorites.



Andrew is their youngest. He reminds me a lot of my brother.... You try and get a good family picture and this is what happens. I laughed so hard when I got home and saw this.



It's a good thing I'm a fast clicker so I could get another one.















I think I was pushing it a little too far trying to get these three to sit still for a few too many seconds....



Because this shows how they really felt...



Andrew, Julia, and Thomas are three amazing kids. Thomas even washes dishes and empties the dishwasher without even having to be asked. He just does it. Who does that? Julia wrote me an adorable love note before she left. It's now found a place on my fridge....forever. And Andrew, well, he just melts your heart every time he smiles into your eyes.



I had a great time with this fam. I miss them terribly. Stella however has quite a different opinion about the matter.



I love you Miss Hunter. Thank you for being a constant in my life and a huge part of my faith journey. You're an amazing wife, mother and friend.

Now will you forgive me for the first picture?

Oh Charlie.

I got the privilege to take pictures for this loving family this afternoon. Charlie continues to grow into a cuter little man every time I see him. He and his family are actually welcoming another little one in January. As this family grows, so does their love for one another. They are a joy to work with. Enjoy this sneak peek.

Shhh. It's a Secret.

My friend Rachel asked me to take some pictures of her and her girls as a surprise for her husband's birthday. We went downtown to a playground and had a lot of fun. It was hard to get a posed smile out of these girls, but just ask them to be "goofy", and I think I captured their personalities perfectly. This family is just so much fun. They joke, laugh, play and their smiles rub off on you. Here are a few of my favorites from our shoot.

I asked her to smile and this is what I got.

Kohlmeier Family Portrait

I had the priviledge to take some family pictures of a good friend of mine. They just wanted a few shots taken in their backyard. I thought they turned out really well. They were so photogenic. I love being around them. They're so much fun. Thank you again for inviting me into your home!

I love these boys like they're my own brothers.

Ahhhh....sisterly love....
