show & tell

Looking back over some of the photo shoots I did this last year, I realized that I missed out on show-and-tell here on my blog.  This fun shoot was a Father's Day gift; taken in the spring at Bernhard Museum.  Sweet kids...

R Family

Started off the fall season in a good way... a lovely time with the R Family.  The morning light was beautiful and there were cool breezes.  A big thanks to their friends who let us use their home on the river for their family photos.

Bea and family

Here's those big brothers I mentioned.  Lucky girl.  This next shot is one of my very favorites, though.  This is real life.  I like to capture the pouting and crying sometimes - these are the things you are going to look back on and laugh about.  Someday....

fall frenzie

Fall is well underway and I'm thankful that I've been busy with family portraits.  This family was a fun photo shoot.  Everyone was relaxed and ready to have a good time.  Aiden and Lily are blessed to have parents such as these.

stand by me

The tracks remind me of 'Stand By Me'. This was a fun shoot with a mom and her kids... I love the image above with the three balancing on the track. We were able to cover a lot of ground in Auburn - the advantage of a photo shoot with older kids.

a mom's love...

is a beautiful thing.

And dads, too!!!

Empire Mine State Park

One of my very favorite photo shoot locations... for obvious reasons! And one of my very favorite families, too. These were taken the beginning of December - I was surprised at how much color was left on the trees.

what do you think?

Color, or black and white? I can't decide which I like best. I'm loving these stairs, though!

And these two handsome boys!

i heart fall

As we round the corner to into the CHRISTmas season and winter, I bid farewell to the beautiful fall colors. Oh, how I will miss you. Luckily, I have plenty of images with fall color that I haven't posted here yet. More to come!

mama's and their babies

I can never get enough of capturing those sweet moments. That love between a mom and her babe.

thankful for black and whites

another beautiful family

I'm so blessed with the fantastic families I've worked with; this one is no exception. And thank you to my friends (and friends of friends) who have given me referrals. I appreciate your faith in me. Officially starting my business last year, I'm still blown away with the way God has blessed my new venture. It's appropriate (being so close to Thanksgiving) that I am truly thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
