Family

LeeAnn + SidaLee

The following pictures tell a story. The story of a love so deep that rocks every woman. It is the deepest of human loves. I am speaking of the love of a mother and her child.

I’ve had the privilege to know this woman throughout most of my young adult life. I watched her grow into a beautiful woman. I watched her as she became a momma. I watched her as pain and hurt came into her life unexpectedly. I watched as she felt the loss of so many things around her. I watched her as she faced so many questions. In the midst of it all, she chose mercy and grace. She chose wisdom and truth. She is one of the bravest souls I know.

I hope these pictures give a small glimpse to the wonderful woman and momma she is. She is raising a young giant with a faith that can move mountains. I am so proud to call her a friend. SidaLee has the best momma!

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. "

Tobar Family

It's been a while my friends...with a move overseas, being new parents, and handling working full time plus a business...let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. This season has set its challenges. Everything is in motion, yet everything is still. Just a few weeks ago, for mother's day,  an old college friend reached out asking for family photos. There is a long story behind this request, but let's just say that the Tobar family were long due for some pictures! 


Linda and Michael and Vinny had a beautiful intimate family session. Though shy at first, little Vinny eventually gave us a smile and had a blast with mom and dad. I am grateful to capture these moments! 

Durain Family Session

To say we had good weather is underestimating this session. The Durain family had THE perfect lighting and THE perfect weather for their family pictures. In the midst of a cold, lack of sleep and a week full of work, Dianna and Jesse were optimistic about enjoying their time in front of the camera. Little Olivia Grace, I was told, barely smiled. Somehow, we broke that barrier on that day and she could not contain her excitement as she played and twirled around with mom and dad. Magical fields, blue skies and so much more...enjoy. :)
