Reese Jesse

My dear friend, Jess, and her troop came over this morning. Little Reese was quite the miracle baby so I can never take enough shots of her as she grows... we're SO THANKFUL she's here and healthy.

She was sleeping so peacefully as Jess and I sipped coffee in the kitchen... and then I started clicking away... she could sense me.

Bubbly Joy

Oh the joy of blowing bubbles in the grass during the middle of summer...

Photoshoot with Hannah - my beautiful sister.

Recent favorites...

Some of my favorite moments and shots of the last couple weeks... many of them were simply captured in the midst of my day. Time with my family, visits with friends, the kids' surprises for me, etc. Please enjoy!

The Johnson Family

A wonderful family. A beautiful place. The perfect day.

Thank you, Alex and Alayne, for the honor of shooting your family. I enjoyed every moment... even when the park ranger told us to get off the tracks.

Enjoy your 'quencher'.
