So glad to meet you...

family sessions
I've met more new people this year than ever before...
what I love, is that I seem to get people that are my perfect match...
I'm not talking about how many kids they have or how old they are...
it's not about what they look like or what clothes they wear...
I am unbelievably honored and quite honestly, blown away, by the AMAZING families that I meet...
Families like this one that are humble, kind, thoughtful, articulate, engaging...
They come to me because they are looking for something outside of the norm...they are looking for connection and REALness...not just with me, but they want to see it captured in pictures...
anyone can dress up, anyone can smile at a camera..and those types of images are GREAT too! However, the type of sessions that I try to conduct are not quick snaps of faces and we're finished...
We take our time talking and laughing...all the while I'm watching and sensing different family dynamics that I want them to see for themselves...
Ultimately, I want families to look at their family pictures and smile...and smile BIG!!! Not just because they look good, not just because it's frame worthy...but because it REMINDS them of THAT moment...of that time their family sat together and laughed, or siblings rode on each others' backs, or mom got a kiss from her boy and daddy squeezed his little girl...
I show a few snapshots on this blog, but in their gallery they have a story timeline...
and one I hope they'll cherish forever...
Thank you for spending an evening with me! You all are fabulous!!
