An Honor!

The "D" family called just before Thanksgiving to try and sneak in a session over the holiday. She mentioned that "everyone" was in town. I didn't fully gather what that meant until they all showed up to the studio. Everyone had gathered to meet the newest member of the family. Grandparents were here from Hawaii. Auntie was visiting from Texas, and her hubby had come home on military leave from Afghanistan. This was truly a family reunion and I was completely honored to capture their short time together.




And I couldn't resist capturing a solo of this angel in the little hat she came in with!

Supporting the Community

Whenever I can I like to try and find ways to support the local community. When the plans started coming together for an outdoor area for the preschool my daughter attends, I suggested a fundraiser. The most recent fundraiser I did for them was mini-sessions in the park, which raised more than $200 for the outdoor area. Here are a few favorite shots from some of the families that attended.

Colorful Fun

I photographed this family a few weeks back. What a wonderful family, with five great kids! It was definitely a busy afternoon! Mom definitely gets bonus points for the great coordination of outfits. I can wait to see the wall design with new prints!

Fab Family Session

I met up with this family at the Edgefield McMenamins. One of my favorite photography destinations. The scenery is beautiful and divers, there is room for the kids to be kids, and fun places to eat at the end of the session. This family enjoyed all three. And I enjoyed them!
