I had a wonderfuf session for this family a few months back.  The boys were keen as we did some biker photos which I still need to work on.  The little one was a super sweet heart.  I love that I have a studio.  And if outdoor portraits are planned we can always come inside if the weather doesn't cooperate!

It isn't often we get the opportunity to photography FIVE generations. I love the opportunity to photograph each of the families and as many groupings as I can. Since I only photograph one family per day.............

Revisiting images taken over the past seven years and enjoying the journey. My art has progressed and reworking these has been fun and inspiring. Letting me know just how far I have come, but continuing to follow world class portrait artists also inspires me to continue to grow and learn and explore.....like a child.
