I’ve been capturing the mischievous twinkle in these two little girls’ eyes for a couple years now–& what a joy this family is every time we shoot! Jacque is the the quintessential modern mom–stylish, organized, & prompt. Her girls Haley & Hanna are always dressed in the cutest coordinated outfits, & prepared with their sweet smiles. And their dad Leroy is always game for racing, tickling, or snuggling his girls. I’m so glad I get to chronicle these two gals as they grow up all too quickly!
I met Alithea & Bryen through mutual friends Karen & Jason over five years ago. Karen introduced me to Alithea, because she thought we’d have a lot in common–including being pregnant at the same time! Now, it’s been five years, six pregnancies (all but one of them simultaneous) & four kids between the two of us! In addition to growing a wonderful friendship of mutual support & lots of shared philosophies, I’ve also had the pleasure of capturing their family in pictures for births, holidays, & “just because” with lots of regularity. Theirs is one of the last families I’m shooting this holiday season, since I’m on maternity leave through the spring. And as usual, it was a fun, high-energy shoot, followed by a great playdate, great conversation, & lots of snacking. Good times!
We celebrated Mother’s Day last Sunday with my cousins & their two beautiful families. The spring flowers have been exploding in the backyard, so I was so excited to use them as a backdrop for a few quick portraits. We ran outside just before sunset, & gathered the mamas with their getting-too-big-too-fast children, ranging from age 9 months to 13 years…How quickly it all goes by!

Our very close friends, the Corter-Bells, are subjects I have gotten to shoot regularly since their first-born daughter, Mikayla, was just about a year old. Since then, they’ve become a family of four, with the addition of son Connor. This February, we did a few pix to commemorate Connor’s second birthday, Mikayla’s fourth birthday & Chinese New Year. Happy Year of the Tiger–rowr!
