I met Mara at the gym here in Farmington about 15 years ago. Her Maggie was only 4or5 and her son and Beau were on the same soccer team. I was just starting out my photography journey. She was kind enough to bring Maggie and her friend Hannah to a photoshoot. Those photos […]

Hi, It’s me and this is  bitty. I’m not sure yet what I am supposed to do with her  but Mom says I have to share my chair so here we are! Mosty the bitty sleeps and eats and sleeps some more. Maybe someday she will be able to ride bikes with me. But for […]

I love photographing Artists!  Here’s why.  They appreciate composition, color, movement, light and the list goes on.   Taking the Wheeler family photos on a regular basis has been one of the greatest blessings. Not only do I love their faces but watching these kids grown over time is such a sweet journey.  Little Edie was […]

What a great family to be sharing the evening with.  It’s hard to find places that have shade and sun in the right combination.   Whatever the weather, or moments or issues that come up we seem to find balance in the chaos and composition by just being together in the same place for a few […]

Nobody does reunion like the Nelson Family.  They are great examples of getting together!  I could not believe that one of the families of six was waiting for me at the destination!  I’m usually the first one there but they beat me to it.  I was so impressed I added extra photos of their family […]

That’s right, […]

I love meeting new families by getting referrals  for outdoor family sessions.   I love families with all boys or all girls.  I love families like mine that have a mix of boys and girls. I love how some people can take my style guide and show up with something awesome even without any help from […]

I was so happy that Jessie and Chad wanted to have their photos taken in the orchard.  I love this time of year.  It was so fun to see how genuine they were about being together. They have known each other since high school, just like me and my hubby!  Its so fun that even […]

Ellie wasn’t sure if she wanted to play the game of reacting to our jumping jacks and coaxes for some expression. It was much to our delight that not long after we started shooting Ellie’s  Dad came out and Ellie had the best reactions! It made me so happy to see such emotion and delight […]
