These images are brought to you by the perfect evenings we get in October – which is when this session took place.
Some of my favorite images from 2009.
They drove circles around me in the parking lot for awhile and then we walked down to play at the beach. I couldn’t get enough of this little guy, who reminded me of my husband as a child. And I just loved the genuine love that came through both Mom and Dad. So many great smiles.

- I think this is the most perfect family session I have every seen! Warm fuzzies all around!
- I am simply in love with the way you creatively capture the magic of the ordinary, the way that each image tells a story, and when, combined are more reminiscent of a home movie than a standalone portrait shoot. they speak loudly: we are family. we were here. and we loved. every one of your family shoots exudes this. thank you for sharing your art.
