Internet, meet Calvin. And those are his parents, Laura and Alex, in the background. But come on, we know who’s the star of this photo session right?

The Decker Family: 2011 Portraits
When Holly contacted me early in the summer about setting up September portraits with her family, of course I didn’t hesitate to say “YES!” I just adore this family and how laid-back they are.

The Shafer Family (in 2011)
Two years ago when I visited the Los Angeles area with one of my dearest pals, Stacey, we stayed with her sister, Erin, Erin’s hubby, Jeff, and their (then) newborn, Maya. It didn’t take me long to fall in love with California—or, in turn, with the sweet Shafer clan. I took photos for them...
California Session: Inna’s Family
Inna would be the first to admit it was hectic making this session happen—but then again, when you have four beautiful kiddos ages 7 and under, how can it NOT be that way? Getting them all dressed in cute clothes (and then thinking about yourself AND what your hubby will wear? I seriously cannot even...

I don’t remember when I first heard from Emily.

She’s so sweet and will be helping...

She was pregnant at Ashley’s wedding, and shortly after she gave birth, contacted me about wanting to do a family session.
