Hello

The Whitmore Family

A Hancher Summer Family Shoot

Family & Kids

Well, this was super fun!! I photographed Sarah & Ian’s wedding back in 2015 and then the entire Whitmore family when Wes was just a few months old. Now Sarah is expected their second (a girl!) and she reached out asking if I could do some photos of them. Of course! Wes was very unsure […]
