Mary and her family are truly dear friends, and our story goes way back 💛📸 From senior portraits for her grown kids, to updating family photos through the years, to Mary serving on our Little Heroes board — being part of their journey has been such an honor.

Watching these kids grow up, build careers, start families… and now seeing the baby of the family in high school doing high school things 🤯💫 Where does the time go?!

Getting everyone together for family photos is no small task, but of course Mary nailed it 🙌 We met in the studio yard for a beautiful sunrise session 🌅 and captured so many genuine smiles and beautiful faces.

Mary had a family wall she was ready to update — and that’s exactly what we did 🖼️✨ The second image isn’t her home, but it is the layout she chose for her wall art, and I absolutely love it. I know she walks by it every day and smiles… just like I do with my own family portraits.

Some people think it’s “weird” to have photos of yourself and your family on the walls — but my home is covered in them, and everyone who walks in always says how warm and welcoming it feels 🏡💕

Family is art. Always. 💛
