This beautiful couple and their kids are blending families. So fun! I’m so happy for them. When you have this many people and so many boys, the session feels like nothing went right. But we busted out some beautiful family portraits and I can’t wait to see them on their walls.

Conra realized it has been too long since her last “family portrait”. Her kids were coming home from college to visit for spring break so we planned a perfect session to represent her family. We started in the studio and got a studio family portrait and updated everyone’s professional headshots. They changed clothes and we headed to the outdoor locations. It was a beautiful evening and everyone enjoyed the experience. It can be hard to find time to get family portraits but where there is a will, there is a way. Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful family, Conra.

You would have never thought that we would get so many amazing images in such a little amount of time! Sometimes the plan doesn’t go as planned. Sometimes a young child will throw a tantrum, have an accident, refuse to wear something…and cause “the plan” to go right out the door! The Van Kempen’s went with the flow, I went with the flow and the session went amazing! We had a lot less time than originally planned so I had to have my ducks in a row, put my nice but bossy pants on and they trusted me and listened to every suggestion. We laughed a lot and seriously had fun! You can see it in their images! We were racing against the sunset and we won!! I can’t say enough about this family. If you know them, you are blessed! They have some of the kindest hearts I have every come across. I have loved watching their kids grow up since little man was 3 or 4 months old I believe. I look forward to more sessions with them. I thank them for keep coming back to me, trusting me and always up for a new adventure! Thank you Heather, Dallas and your amazing little people! Can’t wait to hang this moment in time on our wall!
