Some families plan for weeks, and some families go with the flow. 

Some families plan detailed outfits and other families grab whatever they find in their closets. 

Some families focus on being together while other families plan out the detail shots. 

Some families relax into the session and some families put all their energy into it. 

Some families prefer laying in the grass for hours on end and other families adore the busyness of the city streets and downtown alleyways. 

No matter your preference, your tendencies, or your personalities.... 

All families want to be seen. 

To be seen with a camera in such a way that the resulting photos bring back memories of joy, laughter, and perfectly imperfect reality. 

No matter what kind of family you are! 

Mike and Chris, we did it again! I look forward to our photos every year, and I'm so so thankful for the amazing opportunity to watch your children grow (and see more added!). Thanks for being YOU and allowing me to see every part of the craziness and beauty that fills your lives. Much love! <3 

Being invited into someone's home for a photo session is a special thing.

It's almost sacred. 

To see the nooks and crannies they inhabit on a daily basis.... 

And to be given permission to invade and capture the comforts of their safe place. 

I always feel as though I'm seeing a family for real. For who they really are. 

Where they live, where they cry, where they laugh and snuggle, and where they make plans and dream about the future. 

It's both a privilege and a honor. 

Jesse and Elisa, thank you so much for letting me come by your adorable little home to photograph your sweet munchkin!! Ethel is precious and you are so blessed to be her parents. Thanks for inviting me into your home and for showing me how you live and love together! Much love! <3
