you’ve seen these little ones and their parents on the blog. a lot. in november 2005 their mama found me via google. emma’s first photo shoot took place when she was 3 months old and i’ve lost count on the number of portrait sessions we’ve done since. although marc and kristi started out as clients we quickly became friends and realized just how much we have in common. over the last 8 years we’ve spent a lot of time together. i’ve watched their daughter grow up, i was in the room when their son was born and i have the incredible honor of being his godmother. these were a couple of my favorite images from gavin’s newborn session and the one on the right is still one of my favorite newborn sibling shots ever. over the years chris and marc have grown just as close as kristi and i and our kids simply adore each other. marc and kristi are more than just our friends – they’re like family. i call kristi my sister from another mister and having the four of them in front of my camera feels like anything but work. here are just a few of my […]

the dold family came to see me for a mini session but we ended up with an amazing number of images. and they are another great example of what to wear for family portraits. rachel chose a mix of colors, textures and patterns that worked flawlessly together. everyone coordinated but wasn’t too perfectly matched. and they were so much fun to photograph. it’s families like the dolds that make me love my job. thank you, rachel and chris, for trusting me to tell your family’s story. i can’t wait to have you all back in front of my camera again soon! until next time, keep smiling and keep loving on that beautiful family of yours, H
