It is always a pleasure to photograph a family multiple times. I’m so lucky that A. & B. have called me back twice since I photographed their wedding in 2008! Last year, I got to meet their beautiful baby girl when she was only a few weeks old. Now she’s a busy 1 year old, and super cute too! Here are a few from our session…
I don’t know if it was in one small moment, or in a series of moments, that I realized how blessed I am to have such an amazing daughter. As L.’s sixteenth birthday approached last week, I reflected back on so many memories, both bright and dark, that have led her to become who she is today. I couldn’t have imagined the beginning of her sixteenth year to be any better than it turned out to be. I think she would say that it has been the best week of her life in so many ways. She is every wonderful thing I ever wanted her to be, and I am truly inspired by the beautiful, loving, intelligent, kind young woman she has become. Love you L.!

Last week, my wonderful colleague, friend, and neighbor kindly welcomed me into her home for a holiday photo session. I then proceeded to open her blinds and shutters that were closed, and close the ones that were open. I also rearranged some furniture. Lucky for me, M. and her family didn’t seem to mind a bit. They have a beautiful home and I love that I had the opportunity to capture this little piece of their lives. As I chose the images for this post, I discovered the difficult part of photographing someone in your circle of friends during the holidays…the fear of posting an image that they intend to put on their holiday cards. There is always that excitement of opening a photo card, and getting to see a beautiful family photo for the first time. In order to keep possible holiday card photos a secret, I chose to feature the glamorous Miss H., her beautiful piano, and Coco, their sweet little dog.
To M. and J., thank you for going with my idea to do photos in your home and also for cleaning up after the rearranging I did! You were great!

My youngest just turned twelve last month only I call it “twelve-teen” because she spends most of her time thinking she is a teenager. The rest of the time, she’s my little girl. I’m hanging on so tightly to the little girl, yet so excited to see her begin to spread her wings and learn to fly. She has an incredible gift of compassion, with the ability to connect with others in a truly unique way. I used to have that all to myself, but now that she’s growing up a little, it is time for her to share that gift with others. I’m so proud of who she is, and who I know she will become. As long as she will be my little girl, I will hold on to her as tight as I can and as long as I can.
