This lovely family was celebrating their parents’ 50th wedding anniversary.
The patriarch of the family was a photographer himself, and he wanted a portrait very similar to one they had done many years ago. I love it.
I want to have a picture of my husband and me like this on OUR 50th anniversary too. What an amazing couple!
This family sets such an amazing example of love, faith and commitment to those around them. Mrs. D (chuckle) has been my friend for years. We enjoyed a bright, sunny day in one of my favorite new locations.
When I say I LOVE this family, I really mean it. They just love their kids and the kids adore them right back. I could have set down my camera and just joined in with them, chatting up a storm and goofing off with the kids.
The skies did not look promising all morning but we were surprised with the sun coming out just enough to take the chill off and really show off the beautiful colors. Well, ok, it was still pretty chilly, but the perfectly lit scenery was all worth it.
I haven’t been down to the Confluence in Auburn with a client for quite a while. It was so much fun! This family loves the outdoors, so hanging out on the trail and near the water was perfect for them. The mom is one of our well loved librarians and I was so happy to photograph her son and daughter for their senior portraits.
Okay, I am not kidding when I say this family knows how to have FUN together. They made me LAUGH. I get such a kick out of families that are goofy together.
We couldn’t have asked for a better prop than this one.
I have always wanted to photograph someone on this bridge over the river. Luckily, we had plenty of family members to be on the lookout for traffic.

Thanks, A Family!
This family’s farm property is a photographer’s DREAM! Views that go on forever, meadows, landscaping, barns, haystacks and lots of animals. As a primarily outdoor natural light photographer, I was in heaven here. And this family is so much fun! I had no idea this mom could be so wacky until I saw her helping me get her kids to smile. I love this family!
Mom and Dad made for a perfectly balanced pair. One kept the kids behaving nicely and the other kept things natural.
This is one of the meadows that I want in my backyard.
Thank you, M Family! I had a great time with you guys.
This is the song that I was listening to while editing this family’s images. Click the link here —->Have I Told You Lately by Van Morrison I think it fits this family perfectly! They were crazy in love with each other. I drove home with a smile on my face after watching them hug and kiss and simply enjoy each other.
I knew we were doing good when this was the first picture out of my camera that day.
These lucky kids are just blossoming with their mom and dad’s love.
Their lovely au pair came along to join in the fun too.
I LOVE this one. It completely cracks me up how she is so sweetly cuddling up to him and he is just not having it.
We did a family session combined with a maternity session. I never knew how well it could work to have the kids tag along during maternity portraits. I think they made the images that much more “real”.
This is one of my all time favorite images. We didn’t plan it this way, but isn’t this how life goes with kids? You plan something romantic and then the kids come in and make it their own. Ha!
Lovely end to a lovely evening! This family has since welcomed their baby. Welcome to the world, Isabella!
… with my faithful sidekick.
I spent the day at the park recently with my high school best friend and her little sister. Her sister now has a completely adorable 4 year old. I meant to take lots more of her daughter but we got caught up in talking and laughing so much that I forgot until it was almost too late. More next time!
It’s been a little while since I broke out my studio lighting so this was fun! She is always more than willing to pose for me.
Dramatic much?
What is it about sisters that makes me feel all happy inside? Maybe because I waited 20 years to become a big sister! I LOVE watching and photographing sisters. *sigh*
I love how the older girls are trying so hard to keep the little one happy but their patience is wearing thin. haha
And the whole family!
