This family’s closeness and their visible care and interest in each other are compelling and moving to me. Janelle called me to arrange a family session as a gift for her dad. A high school student, paying for and organizing a professional family lifestyle session because she knew it would be a meaningful gift for…
Mallory, Courtney and Madison trekked into the bush, over hills, rocks and gullies – all in their sandals! – to create some sweet images for their mom. I was completely impressed and appreciative that they were up for serious hiking and had the perfect attitude to get this done. These 3 laugh easily together and…
