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 […]

This gorgeous girl has been my photo assistant for about 4 years. I can’t believe that she is old enough to graduate. The first time I took her photos she was about 5 and I did not really know what I was doing. I have photographed her almost every year since then and I am […]
