It’s that time of year: lots of holiday portrait sessions. The last few months have been jam-packed.  I love it, though! Sure, I’m a little sleep-deprived; and I had to buy a bigger monitor for my tired eyes, but it is SO worth it! Whether new clients or old, I love my families! I know the holidays can be a very stressful time, and yes – sometimes that includes holiday portrait sessions. But it doesn’t have to be! I know that your time is precious, and so sometimes we have to squeeze a shoot into a less-than-ideal window. Sometimes that means that my clients are in a rush, and sometimes that means I have to shoot in less-than-ideal conditions. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a perfect photo session. I encourage my clients to relax as they can, and we’ll focus on capturing these moments in your family’s story.  We can’t let these memories get away from us. Believe me, I know what it is like to be on the other side of the lens, especially with small children. It may have been hectic, but I treasure every image, even the less than perfect ones. ?

I wanted to share some peeks from a family I photographed a few weeks ago. It was very bright that morning, and they had travel plans for later in the day, but I think we knocked it out of the park and captured this moment for them perfectly! And we had FUN. That is what it is all about!!
