One of the most wonderful things about being a photographer is capturing precious moments of the people you love and seeing the joy in those moments. One of my oldest friends approached me to take her family pictures and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. She and I go way back to when we were only 6 years old! To see where our lives have taken us and the families that we now have has been an amazing journey. Through the craziness of the teenage years to transitioning into adulthood and finding ourselves, our friendship has grown. And although busy schedules can take over occasionally it is always a comfort to have someone you know you can call on. I can only hope that the B family enjoys their pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. I often talk about the experience of having family pictures taken this way, instead of in a chain studio, and while I always enjoy meeting new families and getting to know new people, you just can’t beat spending an afternoon with your oldest friend and her beautiful family.

Aw, Thanks Tam!! You’ve always had a knack for making me cry! And you’re very welcome! I can’t wait to meet your new little one also!
Lauren,
Having you take our family photos was really special for me. You did an amazing job and we couldn’t be more thrilled with all the photos! You captured Mason’s personality, infectious smile and zest for life so well and we will cherish these photos for years and years to come. Having my oldest friend take our photos and share in this memorable experience with us was a special treat for me. They always say that oldest friends are the best friends and I’m a firm believer that this is so true. Thank you for these beautiful photos, for your friendship over all these years and I hope there will be more stunning photos like these of our growing family in the near future!
