Jalen & Abbi

Take a beautiful little girl (Abbi), her handsome brother (Jalen), their "magical" back yard, and a couple of cameras, blend them all together and "Voila!" you have one of the most fun and heartwarming afternoons you could ever ask for.

 

The drizzle didn't stop a single moment of the fun.

 

 And Jalen didn't let the wet weather stop him from flying.

 Secrets were shared....

 And Wet Willys were given (in honor of Pops).

Books were read and thoroughly enjoyed.

But mostly, this brother and sister opened up their little corner of this big old world and made us feel right at home. Thank you to Abbi and Jalen for giving us an afternoon that will be forever tucked away under our best-memories-of-all-time.  (Thank you to Amy and Jamie too!)

Katelynn and Horses and Ducks, Oh My!

Had the absolute pleasure of photographing Katelynn for her senior portraits this summer and again this fall... A beautiful girl both inside and out.

She has quite the variety of pets and we were lucky to meet them all... well almost all ;-) 

 The best of luck to you, Katelynn, as you begin the next journey of your life.

Byrne's Family

The Byrne's family were such troopers, despite the drizzle and cold weather. Thanks for the great evening and fun time! Here is a little sneak peak!

Wendy-Lady's Adventure

In every parents life there are those moments when you get to step back and be the observer of your children.  This is a privilege of parenthood.  Whether they are 4 or 24, the adventure of who they are unfolds in front of you and reminds you of the fact that you have been a part of this beautiful process of bringing someone you love into this world and holding their hand along their journey until they can navigate that path on their own. 

Out of that innocent shadow of childhood and into the brightness of who they are, as a parent, we get to guide, cheer, and love them into their own light.

My oldest daughter, Dani, has been standing in her own light for a few years now and is seeing her path more clearly every day. 

 I was so fortunate to get to spend some time recently with her while she was working on a film project.  Every time we get to steal a few minutes together, I feel like I learn so much more about the beautiful young lady she is.  (Wendy-lady to the lost boys, even ;-)

It was an honor and a joy to get to take some pictures of her while she was at work.  And it was an even greater joy to get to spend a few hours watching her adventure continue to unfold.  Second star to the right, and straight on til morning my wendy-lady! Oh, and don't worry, Nana's got your back! ;-)

A Place In This World

We have been making big strides with our business and said to ourselves one day "We need a place." Not the cluttered kitchen table, or the busy camp store counter (our family's business), but a place just for us. We chose to use the old shed in our back yard.. and so it began!

After choosing to use the shed, we had the wonderful task of going through everything in the shed and deciding what to keep and what to pitch. 

And so it was empty! 

And down come the ugly green walls! 

.... to be continued!

Puppy Love

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, he walked into mine." 

.....it's puppy love!  

Chelsie captured a quiet moment with the newest addition to our family.  The kids all decided it's our answer to the onset of "empty nest" since they are all leaving home to start their own lives.  ;-)
