It’s a wonderful feeling.

When you photograph a family so much that you lose track how many times it’s been.

The kids start as babies and become little adults.

Every time you see them, there’s another new baby.

They become people you call friends.

And sometimes a little bit like family.

It’s definitely every photographer’s dream.

You guys. You know you’re my favorites. (But don’t tell anyone, ok?) Thanks for trusting me with your family year after year - you always blow me away with how gorgeous you guys are! Love you so much!

We always pick the coldest day of the year.

It’s like the weather knows we’re coming and tricks us into scheduling photos.

Secretly, I like it when my clients are just a touch cold.

It means they’ll be a lot snugglier.

And clients that snuggle together… stay together. (Or something like that.)

Mel - I promise I’m not trying to freeze your family! I blame the fickle Kansas City weather. ;) Thank you so much for putting up with the chilly temperatures and for being such a delightful family to photograph. Love you guys so much!
