The Cockroft Family…

It felt like one of the coldest days ever, but when all the kids are home for Christmas, you bundle up (at least the photographer does), brave the cold, and take outdoor family photographs. I love this family and was honored they asked me to capture “this moment in time” for them.  

Woven together by choice…

What more could a photographer ask for than a client who loves your work, values your artistic ability, and has family portraits done every two years! What made this year special was the inclusion of the mom’s fiancé and his family – a total of 8! I found a phrase online (I couldn’t find the author to credit) that describes this family perfectly, “Woven…

The Old Bridge Across Ol’ Man River…

Before heading to the Mississippi River to photograph a family, I already knew what the mom was wanting – another large, framed wall print of her two kids. I had already photographed these two with the Hernando De Soto Bridge in the background. This time the three “old” bridges that span Ol’ Man River to the south would be the background. It started off…

Celebrating Families…

Being a family photographer is a like being the proverbial fly on the wall. Once a family gets comfortable with the whole process of being photographed, they tend to forget you’re there and you get to witness first-hand the interaction between family members. Siblings start to tease and play with each other…little ones let go of their death grip on mom…even dads relax! Here…

A Fall Afternoon on the River

There’s no better place in the fall to take family photographs than down by the river…

A Family That Plays Together…

Whether it’s riding bikes, taking a run, or relaxing together at home, this family loves to laugh and play together. A warm afternoon on the Wolf River Greenway was perfect to capture this family’s love of life and love for each other.    

Funny, loving & delightful…

You have to meet this awesome family…funny, loving, and delightful! The kids were spontaneous; the parents loving. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the kids interact with one another as they roamed up and down the riverbank throwing sticks and logs into the river. They scoured the rocks that lined the river looking for frogs and other creatures. They ran and played through the fallen leaves….

The Marlowe Family…

I had the privilege of photographing this family and creating some amazing wall art for their home. They knew they wanted a large family portrait and so we were able to capture exactly what they needed during their session. It was so much fun taking photographs afterwards of Miss P who had some great posing ideas of her own. She’s a natural model with…

Maternity… Waiting on #3

Isn’t it funny that when we’re pregnant with our first child, we take photos during the entire 9 months to document this wonderous event. Then when the second one comes along, we get some photos of our growing belly, especially with the older sibling kissing the new baby. But when number three is on the way, we’re doing good just to get our hair…

Rolling on the River…

  The Mississippi River is an awesome backdrop for a photography session – especially in the afternoon with the soft golden glow of the setting sun washing over everything. This family was so much fun to be with. The brother and sister truly love each other and absolutely adore their mom! When we headed downtown to the river, we knew exactly what the mom…
