The Reeves Family

One of the better parts of my job is to capture multiple life events. I don’t narrow myself into one specific niche of photography, which enables me to capture both weddings and family portraits and such was the case for the Reeves family.

I first met Kaitlyn and Cody back in October of 2017 when I captured their engagement portraits in anticipation for their wedding, which I also photographed. It’s been so touching to see their family grow from two… then three… and now four! Kaitlyn is absolutely overwhelmed in a house full of boys and judging by these photos, she’s absolutely thriving.

Loved catching up with this sweet family this past fall - here are just a few of my favorite photos from their session!

The Chambers Family


The Chambers are familiar faces here on the blog! I've worked with this sweet family since their oldest was less than 3 years old, photographed their youngest when he was days old, and grew up 3 houses down from the Man of the House. Their annual session is one I look forward to every year, much of which is due in part to Kali's gracious feedback. She knows how to make me feel like a million bucks and I love how eager she is to share how she's displayed the photos in her home. I couldn't ask for better clients! 









The Savage Family


One of the best aspects of my job is working with clients again and again over the years and watching how their families grow. I've seen a senior in high school through to her wedding. Engaged couples to parents. I met Mark and Shannon for maternity photos back in January of 2014 and this past fall I had the opportunity to photograph their gorgeous family of FOUR. 


These boys were so well behaved, and while Shannon is outnumbered, she couldn't be in better company. I absolutely adored every image from this session, but here are just some of my favorites! 














A Snowy Winter Session


Every photographer has a bucket list. While I've shot post snow fall many times, I'd never had the opportunity to shoot during a snow storm. A week before Christmas, I finally crossed it off my list! While this dusting was by no means a storm, it fell just enough to blanket the ground and act as a perfect reflector for gorgeous light during this mother daughter session.



You'd think maybe perhaps the cold or the wind would be the reason for cutting a snowy, winter session short. Nope! It's actually the hair. Once the snow saturates and wets the hair, the session is over! Luckily we captured so many gorgeous photos in such a short amount of time.








The Beatty Family


I love social media. Although my blog sometimes gets a bit dusty, I find myself on Instagram quite often and love meeting and networking with other local photographers. When I'm not watching food videos and makeup tutorials of course... Anywho, one of those photographers Insagram introduced me to was Denise. After years of being official "Instagram Friends", she reached out to book a session for her super adorable, stylish, and devastatingly sweet family. There was a tiny window where the session could happen - one child returned home from France just days before our session, and in just days another was about to set out half way across the globe to India. Oh, and did I mention the entire family was moving to California in days as well?? Go big or go home!
