Posted on by

Another year, another amazing portrait session for the Plungis family! We had a little adventure at Herrick Lake and it started raining right after we wrapped. A, A, X, and K…you have my freaking heart!

“This. Is. Everything. All the hard work. Supporting of each other. Good times. Painful times. Times when you want to give up. When real life gets too real. When you see the worst in someone and they see the worst in you and you stand by each other anyway. When you see someone go through the pain of growing despite how easy it may seem to remain the same. This moment. This is what it’s all about.” ~ AP 11/07/17

Brielle {Newborn}

Posted on by

I drove a total of 4 hours for this newborn photo shoot. Brielle and her family are very special to me. I love when my photography is rooted in love because it means something to me instead of just another thing to do. Thankful for Brielle’s life and the sheer JOY she brings to her family!

“Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God – you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration – what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you. The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.” – Psalm 139:13-16 (Message)
