When I started photographing families, the word family usually meant a dad and a mom-to-be with a big ole pregnant belly.
Now these families are all kind of sizes and kiddos are in various stages of growing up.

I have been so fortunate to know these two young ladies for several years now, since before a certain picture in this gallery. Their mama is one of the warmest and smartest women I know, and these girls are quickly following in her footsteps.
Just one reason she is so smart? She thinks on her feet. Case in point: on one of the last warm days where leaves remained on trees, she got in touch with me for a Portrait Refresher and we made it happen.
As a photographer, it is always, always such a joy to capture young ones over and over, to watch them grow right in front of the camera!
Happy Halloween from my little cowgirl!.jpg)

My friend Lisa has two beautiful daughters who are busy and social and smart and fun to photograph, and who have a new love this year: Peter.
Peter had his very first Portrait Refresher experience this fall and absolutely nailed it.
Good lookin’, Peter!

It’s barely September anymore, yet it’s felt like summer the way the warmth has hung in the air. But the trees know best; they’re just popping right now.
My mind can’t quite compute that there are less than three months until Christmas (gasp! I’m sorry!), and yet it’s right there for us all to see on the calendar.
We’re in the school swing of things now, and looking toward Halloween costumes is probably next on the list. And yet. Holidays. Right immediately exactly after Halloween.
So.
Portrait Refreshers. It’s my answer to the ever-increasing craziness of the fallleadingintoholidaysearlierandearlier.
It’s simple, so simple I want one of my own, because that’s what we need, an updated image of us this year, not last.
If you think about it, there aren’t that many fall weekends, fewer warm or warm-ish ones, and far fewer ones with anything on the trees.
I urge you to think about it sooner than later, because, yes, I’ll do my best to fit you in on November 30th when you realize you still need a photo for your holiday cards, but it’s much prettier out now, and also right now the weather doesn’t require me to wear gloves and shiver.
Book your Portrait Refresher soon, friends. They’re only here ’til December 1st.
