Ver Steegs – Family Mini 2019

I may or may not be a little in love with winter sessions. The golden sunshine coming through pine trees over the top of crisp, white snow is just sublime.

Sanchez – Family 2019

After waiting and watching for several weeks, the fall colors finally showed up along with approximately 48 hours of warm(ish) weather, and I was able to enjoy a late afternoon session with this adorable family. The two boys were full of energy, so we embraced that and had fun playing in the leaves, carrying around gourds, and jingling the car keys. 😉 Check out…

Yearly portraits are so much fun for me, because I get to see these spirited, poke-fun, every-face-expression-imaginable kids grow into stunning young adults. They’re still silly, though. Anytime I photograph them, I know I’m in for a real treat looking through the photos later. 😉 I like…
