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 […]

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 […]

Cousins…These girls have my heart! They all have a bit of “Galeazzi” in them! They have big hearts and competitive spirits. They can be feisty but always beautiful, inside and out! With everyone’s busy schedule’s we for sure get their pictures updated, spend holiday’s together, support each other in sports, and a big bonus if […]

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family for about 12 years now. It is so crazy how time flies. This family is pretty amazing! They have the kindest hearts, and they are some of the hardest working people I know. They have had portraits done with me enough that Ryan (dad) asked his […]

My sister! Growing up she was a pain in my ass and my best friend! I have always admired her and her qualities. She is fun!! She is a dork! She is talented at everything she does. She is beautiful inside and out and can be feisty as hell! She is simply amazing! She turns […]

My girls with their dad… It is a choice by both parties to be kind, parent together, and communicate. I am thankful that even though Clarence and I didn’t make it together, we are pretty awesome at the co-parent thing.  I am thankful for my husband, Roger for being a great role model and parent. He is […]

The wonderful Fewkes family! We met when our kids were in daycare/preschool together, they attend the Santa Event every year and this was my second time photographing this beautiful family to create family art for their walls! We met for a planning session and ironed out all the details, we met at the mall and […]

The world gets smaller every day. I met this wonderful family on a referral to do some business shots for their fantastic business, Keller Skin Care. As we chatted during the office session, we realized that they are my parents neighbors. My parents have talked about how fun this family is, how they all dress […]

A trip to Sun Valley to capture this family in their “home away from home” did not disappoint. I am really finding a lot of joy and satisfaction capturing families in places that mean something to them, and the families appreciate it too! Glory and I met a few weeks prior to their session and started […]
