I happen to have the most gorgeous nieces (and two adorable nephews!). No really, I do.
G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.!!!
I recently took senior portraits for 'E' (on the left) while my son and I were visiting his cousins. I'll be posting the whole session soon, but I wanted to post this beautiful snapshot of my son and the girls, two of my four stunning nieces. (Now I need to get the others photographed so you can see what I mean!)
Thank you, Nell, for introducing me to your amazing, fun, absolutely gorgeous family. And not to rush things, but you better call me when these kids of yours get engaged!
Reader, please be aware that you are about to view amazing genetics...

I recently had the pleasure of photographing some friends and their extended family as a birthday present to his mom. All the siblings, kids, grandkids and great-grand kids came together for this beautiful gift for her. Such a sweet, thoughtful present.
My friends and their kiddos...

When my clients realize that they don't need to be getting married/pregnant/having a birthday/having a baby/eighteen/fill in the blank, to have their portrait taken, I'm thrilled. Portraits that celebrate life, just because, are some of my favorites.
Not only are these images a gift to herself, but what a great gift Lynn has given to her kids and grandkids. Having documented this time in her life is an heirloom that her family will cherish forever. I wish I had these of my folks, don't you?

I feel like I'm so behind on blogging, products and album design and have been trying to play a bit of catch up today. It seems a bit surreal that my fathers funeral was just yesterday but the distraction of work has it's place.
This portrait session was shot a few weeks back. It was a gift to Donna's parents on their anniversary! Isn't that a great idea? So thoughtful. Her brother was supposed to fly out from New York but got snowed in. A few of my favs...
