The secret to precious photos?

Embracing the silliness.

Encouraging the crazy faces.

Saying yes when your son picks you up and swings you around.

Keeping in mind that your child’s “perfect smiling” face is just one version of how they can look lovely… and there are so many more.

Celebrating the stage that your child is in - the awkward, the goofy, the refusing-to-cooperate, the hates-photos-with-a-passion stage.

And loving them because of it all.

Amanda, you and your children are just breathtaking. (Not just because it was so cold!) I’m so so thankful that we could work together again, and LOVED hanging out with your precious babies. Much love to you!!

Families change every year.

When I work with my clients frequently, I get to watch their kids grow up.

I’ve been photographing the Vieau’s for almost 10 years, and gosh - how times have changed!

The littles babies become full grown girls…

Families grow in their quirks and laughs…

And young girls become high school seniors.

Vieau’s - thank you SO MUCH for letting me work with your family over and over again! I had so much fun photographing your family and Hannah for her senior photos! Thanks for the immense privilege. <3
