the color sisters

i just love these girls. and getting to photograph them at their home was a dream. their mom has decorated each room so sweetly. i just wish it hadn't been so hot outside. they live on a great piece of property and it would have been great to get some photos out doors. curse you summer.

connections

i know we've all experience this. you meet someone for the first time and after a few minutes you just know that given the right circumstances you and they could end up being friends for life. i l o v e feeling that connection with someone, especially if i'm photographing them. i literally could have hung out with them for hours after our session just talking and listening to this families amazing story.

sweet little "j"

sweet little "j" just turned one and a little sprout of a thing and always happy to be where she's at. love her and her amazing mommy as well.

oh the reality of the brutality of this summer was pretty much all we could thing about on this day. we met at 8:30 in the morning at mayfield park. there is more than enough shade so i really thought it'd be pleasant, it was 8:30 in the morning for crying out loud. it was horrible. but the "l" family did a fantastic job dealing with it and it show'd in their photos.

grandmas

i love photographing parents with their grown up kids, and especially with their grand kids. both relationships are a blessing to me. i get a little window of what it will be like when my girls are grown and of the precious moments i'll get to have when they one day have babies of their own. granted all of that is a foggy groggy long way off, and i'm in no rush to get there. but, i'm excited to see what it will look like.
