    “This is us!” Family: Julie, John, O, W

    •

    When I first spoke with Julie, she suggested that we spend our family session together in their back yard. If you saw this back yard, you’d understand why. What a cozy, naturey, eclectic space. She and her husband welcomed me, and their kids warmed up to me immediately (which, if…

    As the weather cools rapidly and we retreat indoors, I’m searching through my archives for photos my clients have had me take in their homes. I love these sessions as much as I love naturey, outdoorsy sessions. There’s something very unique about how people feel at home, and I believe…

    These guys were a blast to photograph. The girls were just perfect for the camera, and so was the sunlight! Thanks for snagging one of the mini session slots, gorgeous fam!

    While I was heartbroken not being able to give this mini shoot away to multiple contestants, I was truly lucky to be able to spend a gorgeously-lit morning with this family. Dear happy family, thank you for sharing your wisdom with a soon-to-be mommy of two, for igniting my imagination as…

    Holy moly, was it hard to pick a photo to use as a preview before I really dug into this shoot. So, here’s a photo of Ophelia laughing so happily — I believe Levon had just given her the flower she’s holding. 🙂 More to come.

    I can’t believe it’s been more than four years since I photographed this couple on their wedding day. More than that, I can’t believe they are now a family of four. We were able to squeeze in this photoshoot just days before Jamie and Chris’ son, Charlotte’s little brother, was…

    I was so excited to photograph this family before their move to the west coast. How bittersweet it was — a little sad to see them go, a little jealous of their move (no offense to east coasters… I’ve lived here forever), but mostly, so happy about their new beginning! Thank…
