These aren’t just clients…they are friends. One of the wonderful and challenging parts of photographing friends is that their kids are so comfortable with me that it can get a bit…wild. So, we just went with it! The dimples are legit and the smiles in their eyes just make my heart happy.

It seems like yesterday that we were taking newborn photos of this little one. Look at her now! So full of life and personality.

Let’s eat cake…with our toes! The Torrance family had a sweet moment to celebrate as their littlest turned one! What better way to celebrate and and commemorate the moment than to capture it in photos. I can just imagine these guys pulling out their book of photos are laughing as they see little brother digging in…toe first.

Meeting new friends is always an adventure. This family was such a sweet treat to get to work with. When you add a newborn to the bunch you never quite know what you’re going to get on picture day. But we had a great time getting some photos of this little family of 5.

Meet my friend Jenn. She is a super hero. Her husband is a super hero too. You may not know it just by looking at them, but to their two sweet boys and their amazing daughter, they are the sun and the moon and everything in between.

One of the benefits of photographing the same family year after year is the utter joy that comes when the littles hop out of the car. It always amazes and shocks me how much they have grown and changed in just a year. The Greene’s have been one of my regulars (and one of my absolute favorites) for several years. This year, the family gathered for a family vacay on St. Simons Island and so of course we had to schedule in a photo session!

The ocean is a tempting friend. We had a great time dipping our toes in the water and climbing the driftwood trees for this beautiful Jekyll Island session. Can’t you just hear the giggles that erupt when a little dips her toes in the cold ocean water? There’s not a happier place in the world than right in the center of a child’s joy.

Generations. Family. Together.

It’s no small feat getting the whole family together, especially when they come from all over! But it is so worth the effort.

This session was one that I don’t think I will ever forget. After getting that news that none of us ever wants to receive, “you have cancer”, Valerie decided to stop the world and capture the beautiful bond between mother and son. Not knowing what the future would hold, she wanted to lay a “stone of remembrance”, this was our life, today.
