a growing family

First they were two...

 and then came one more...

and another...

and another...

and one more!

Have you lost count? That's four little people...

Add them all together and you have one big beautiful family!

Elsa Spring

because she is just so sweet...

autumn at the beach

How beautiful is that autumn light? I love beach portraits and these especially for their amber glow. It helps to have a lovely family with a perfectly matching golden retriever in the mix!

a (real) beautiful family

I'm catching up on posting some of the portraits I've taken over the past several months and falling in love with our little old downtown setting. Maybe one of these days I'll get my own family in a picture out there?

I love this sweet family and am so glad I got to take their pictures. This last one is one of my favorites. It is cute and fun and real -just what a family portrait should be!

the littlest grand baby

Meet Kelten -my newest nephew! At two months old he is the youngest of the grand children in my family- but not for long. My sisters are both due with baby girls in a few months. I love having such an unending supply of baby models to photograph!

two weeks new

may I introduce- miss charlotte!

it's obvious her parents are pretty much head-over-heels in love with her (can you blame them?)

charley is bright-eyed and sweet as can be.

welcome to the world little one and congratulations matt & carey!

the Days

so glad I got to capture these three since they will soon be four!

aren't they a beautiful family?

christmas with the family

For some reason my parents and siblings rarely use their cameras when I'm around...but I don't mind so much!

I'm so glad I have lots of cute nieces and nephews to photograph (actually their parents and grandparents are all pretty cute too.)

holiday portraits

I just love this family and their pictures are among my absolute favorites. Downtown Milton proved the perfect setting for a holiday portrait, but what really made the day were those two adorable kiddos. They were all smiles and giggles and made my job a piece of cake. Thank you, A. family -I can't wait to do this again!
