The relationships I form with my clients are the best part of my job! Seriously. I love being creative and making images, but capturing a growing family and watching their children meet milestones throughout the years is wonderful! Kelly has not only been a great client, but a sweet friend. She’s a nurse, too, so we have that in common. But a few months ago when we were spending days in the hospital with my very ill mother-in-law, she offered to bring our entire family a delicious home-cooked dinner. After nights of every kind of fast food, a real meal was a true blessing. I will always be grateful for her kindness and for caring so much for us during a scary time.  Kelly, thank you! You’re a gem!

I last saw Thomas during his newborn session and instantly fell in love with this handsome guy. I mean, how could you not? There’s a tradition in their family where they have their portraits taken ON their first birthday! Two years ago, I captured big sister Elisabeth’s first birthday. It was exciting to attend Thomas’ celebration and capture a great cake smash!
