Family & Kids

Ten months ago, I visited the Nebel home to photograph their brand new baby. (Just look at this wiggly little guy now!) I love looking back over the years at the progression of Zach and Bethany’s family, not just the growth of kids, but the growth of relationships and families. I have gotten to photograph […]

Weddings

For the first time in weeks, it didn’t rain! Not only did it not rain, it was the most perfect, idyllic fall day. Finally. And what makes a perfect day more perfect? A dog.

I kept the radar […]

A Kent Park Summer Family Shoot

Family & Kids

I’ve been lucky to photograph the Smith family many times over the years and looking back at their previous sessions always makes me smile, particularly when I see how much affection Owen has for his little sister.
