Sanew {Family}

Posted on by

Out of all my clients, I think Mom Danielle here is a lot like me. First of all, she has four children like I do…three girls, one boy! :) I appreciate Danielle’s easy-going personality and I’ve observed how that has rubbed off on her children; they are also kind, compassionate, and fun to be with. If you were to take a look at my list of clients and the number of photos they have in my external library, the Sanew family is probably top six families with the most photos I’ve taken. We’ve had lots of sessions!! I’ve also had the privilege of doing newborn sessions with her last two children and that was a huge blast for me. But what I love most about Danielle, and it has been time tested, is her love for preserving moments with her children and she values what I do as an artist and photographer! She understands that we are not promised tomorrow and she knows her children grow up and change at a very fast rate. Having a large family myself and I know how hard it is to have photos done year after year…I can’t tell you how proud I am to work with clients that make sacrifices to get across my camera. I TRULY love this family and their photos get more amazing every year!

I am so excited for the Mortensen family! They are moments away from going from a family of three to family of four! I can’t imagine anything more JOYful.

Zamparo {Family}

Posted on by

 I loved every minute being with the Zamparo Family. I enjoy them a tiny bit more every time I get to see them. The icing on the cake this time was feeling like I made connections with Emma and Leo where they looked into my eyes when I talked to them and Leo gave me an unsolicited hug! Heart.Melted.

Armstrong {Family}

Posted on by

A job is never just a job when you do it with your whole heart. Year after year, these guys are being tucked away deeper in my heart and their images are more precious to me. I started photographing them when they were a family of three…and now that they grew to a family of five, getting together for portraits is such a JOY and celebration for me! Documenting your days when the children are this little means the world. This day was filled with magic and God’s favor that I cannot fully articulate…but the obvious things were the horses and beautiful gorgeous light! You have my heart, Armstrong Family! Love and Gratitude for allowing me to observe and freeze these precious but fleeting moments for you! xoxo
