It’s not easy getting everyone together for family portraits, but it’s worth it!! Michele wanted updated pictures of her kids and grandkids! Was it cold? Of course! Was it hard to get everyone happy to be in the snow for an hour? Totally! Was there a few that absolutely hate getting their picture taken? Duh!! […]

When your daughter is a season senior tribe member, you get to choose one season for family portraits! Great choice, Martell’s!! Winter is magical and sometimes we get lucky and have snow on the trees and a gorgeous sunset and I always have beautiful people in front of my camera. I love that they included […]

Quinn is a Season Senior Tribe member! I hear he is pretty dang good on his BMX bike, like really good! We actually captured him on his bike at the skate park back in the fall but they wanted a few more pics with his bike in the snow. Great idea! Looks awesome! He loves […]

A surprise for her husband and senior portraits while we were at it! Okay, I know a lot of guys would not like the surprise of family portraits but when your oldest son, daughter in law and grand baby you have not met will be in town, all of this is a time to celebrate […]

One of my favorite backdrops…a winter wonderland!! It was time to update family portraits for the beautiful McCarthy family. Their son was home for the holidays and so we worked together to get outfits figured out and all willing for a little adventure to the snow. It really isn’t that cold to do snow pictures. […]

I have had Monica and her family in front of my camera for […]

I have had the honor of photographing these kiddos at our annual Little Heroes Santa Fundraiser event for many years. I finally got to have the whole family in front of my camera and we got such beautiful and fun results! We did most of their images in Freak Ally and I’m LOVING the look […]

“Our family is fun, can you capture that?” Well of course I can. You be you, I will be me and genuine is what we will get! We have posed family for grandma’s needs and fun family for individual family needs. I have to say I am so thankful that this family was sent my […]

This first image is so sweet…it looks like big sis is showing little sis something fun! “Hey sis, let’s go jump on the trampoline.” “Let’s go pick that pretty flower.” With two little girls myself (well, not so little anymore), all the memories flood back from when they were this little! It also makes me […]

Look at this handsome fella! Dechaun has a heart of gold and I am honored to take his senior portraits throughout his senior year! This kid has donated to Little Heroes all on his own, works hard, plays hard and is the biggest help to his beautiful mama! We played around downtown and a few […]
