I could write a book about this family– and someone probably should.  They have overcome so much.  So much loss, so many victories.  They choose to look at the bright side, and on this day, they celebrated.  What were they celebrating?  Family!  And also, this is the first time they’ve all been together in over […]

There are so many things to love about the Donatelli family, and I am so thankful that I get to photograph them year after year!  We’ve done a family session, a wedding, now a senior session, and there’s already a family session on the books for later this year! Sam is awesome. He’s got a […]

Kelly + Nick were high school sweethearts and dated for 8 years before tying the knot last month!  Kelly said she always needed help in geometry class and Nick helped her out.  It turns out, he was so willing to help because he thought she was pretty! I agree, Nick… Kelly is gorgeous!  And after 8 […]

I love when I admire someone from a distance, and then get to meet them up close!  I saw Lizzy singing at church one day and told Josh how great she was– and then the next week I got to meet her and photograph her and Austin’s first anniversary session!  They are just plain awesome and it […]

Stunning attention to detail, perfect gardens, and a fountain!  Everything was absolute perfection at Alex + Brian’s wedding day.  Alex took special care to make sure that there was time to relax and enjoy the sweet moments of the day.  When it came time for her to put on her wedding dress, it was just […]

We arrived in Boston and spent the 4th of July roaming the city and trying to hold on to the last bit of normalcy for awhile.  Zane wasn’t having the best time.  His whole schedule has been thrown off, he had to take two plane rides (the first since leaving Bulgaria, which can bring up […]

Just a heads up– if you’re a really squirmy type and can’t handle anything medical, then you’ll want to skip this.  It’s all pretty mild stuff, but it shows a feeding tube and some weird medical things. No blood, and nothing gory, though. Four and a half months ago we arrived at Zane’s orphanage on a cold day, […]

I feel like I’m supposed to say that I started doing photography because of these munchkins… because I wanted more time with them and away from the corporate world. But the truth is, they weren’t even on my radar 7 years ago when I bought my first DSLR. My niece, Kyah, has passed away the […]

I don’t know what I was doing four year ago today… the day you were born. I don’t know if there’s a woman… a family… on the other side of the world mourning you today. There’s a lot I don’t know.   As I looked through pictures to share, I cried.  I’ve missed a lot […]

Alli’s family took us in as their own family when we moved here 6 years ago– when she was still in high school!  We’ve celebrated many holidays with them, and they are always serving other people and families.  Alli has that same generous spirit about her, and as I got to know this spunky, fun-spirited […]
