Sometimes I think I sound like a broken record, but the problem is it’s true every year. Every year someone who hired me last year, and hires me again to take photos of their family is something that truly honors me, something I see as one of the biggest compliments. You see, people’s families are a central part of who they are, and for many, it is the single more important thing to them in the world. So to. be told “I want you to photograph my family” is such an incredible honor.
Read MoreI can’t decide if this was the third or fourth time i’ve had the chance to photograph Nora, but each and every time has been a blessing. The things i’m seeing now as she has gotten older (almost 11!) is the women peeking out from inside. She has a mix of playful girl and spunky teenager in her and it’s a lot of fun to see both. Here are some photos from our recent shoot together, showing off a little of both sides.
Read MoreI worked with Shannon for months trying to get the details surrounding this shoot ironed out. Things were always changing, but in the end, on a misty (and at one point, very very rainy) morning, I was able to be there when the Raymond-Becker family was reunited again. The emotions were high, joy was clear, and it was such a fun family shoot to be a part of. I truly enjoyed meeting them, even for the small period of time I had the chance to speak with them. I’m excited to share some of my favorites from our shoot.
Read MoreIf i’m counting right (and i’m probably not) I think this is the fourth time i’ve had a chance to capture the Adrian Family. First when it was just Corey and Katie, but as their family grew, they have continued to ask me to do one of the most important things someone could do - record their family growing up. It’s amazing to me, how each time I get to see this family, how much bigger and joyful the kids are, how great it is to see Corey and Katie, and just visit with them. It’s truly a highlight of my job and this shoot was no different. The Adrian family is no doubt an incredible one - you only need to spend a little bit of time with them to know that - and being able to share some of my favorites from their recent family photo session is a privilege that will never get old.
Read MoreTo say seeing the German-Murrey family is a pleasure would be an understatement. I’ve had the huge privilege of photographing them from the time it was just them (and they were making a pregnancy announcement) to a shoot that included their extended family, and now again, as their youngest (Joseph) is getting bigger and bigger. The last time I saw them, it was swiftly followed by some incredibly sad news, that while it is super sad, I think it’s important that we still remember Rosalie.
Read MoreI had the chance to meet this incredible family of three the day before Kelly’s sister’s wedding (Shout out to John and Blair!). I absolutely love meeting new people, but meeting people as kind and thoughtful as these two as a treat. Not to mention taking that into the next day for the wedding was even better. It’s awesome being able to walk into a getting ready room and meeting several people you already know. It makes the day flow better, makes it easier to have fun. So I hope you enjoy these family photos as much as I loved taking them. Thank you to the Ostrem family for coming out and trusting me with your most precious of memories.
