My grandparents were an integral part of my childhood and I know that there is nothing quite like the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. My approach to these sessions is to capture your children interacting with and loving on their grandparents.  
It is so important that you document that bond for your children; they will thank you for the photos when they are older. 

The warm weather is finally here and Summer is right around the corner.  For most of us, Summer is a fun and relaxing time of years during which time we can spend some quality time with our children and build some lasting memories.

Melissa contacted me in the winter about a first birthday session for her daughter and I was thrilled when she decided to do a family session instead.  Although I love photographing one year olds on their special day, there is nothing quite like a family session.  I love getting to know my families and having fun with them on the day of their session to capture the unique dynamic of their family.  

Even though we spend a lot of time with our extended families, how often do you really take the time to photograph yourselves together?  For most families, the last photo that documents them together as a family is from a wedding years ago and most likely does not include the youngest generation.  When I was contacted to photograph this family of over 20 people, I was excited about the endeavor.  After all, it is no secret that I love photographing families, so what could be more exciting than photographing a family with over 20 members?   I had a lot of laughs with this family and I absolutely love the images from the session.  Here are a few of my favorite.  

If you are anything like me, you are elated that the warm Spring weather is finally here;   I feel completely rejuvenated and have been spending as much time outside as possible, which includes photographing gorgeous families outdoors again.  Recently, I have been busy photographing moms and their babies for their Mother and Child Sessions.  I love these sessions so much because there is nothing more beautiful than the bond between a mother and her child and I think every mom deserves to have her photographs taken with her babies.   Because no two families have the same energy and dynamic, each of these sessions has been unique and exciting for me and I love learning about each of the families I photograph.  

I am so thankful for all of the families who have hired me to photograph them this holiday season. I am looking forward to meeting all of you.  

I would like to take a moment to offer some tips that can help to make our mini session run smoothly.
