“Joy comes to us in ordinary moments. We risk missing out when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.”

– Brene Brown

I love when families bring Grandma or Grandpa to join in on the session, even just for a few minutes. There is a special depth that they bring and I love showing those sweet relationships. We had a wonderful evening together with this family and I am often sweating by the end of sessions with kids from playing around with them. I love being able to capture kids being themselves, happily playing and laughing. I think it brings an interest to the photos and keeps the mood light for all involved. It brings out so many genuine smiles, which is a win for me, for the kids, and for the parents too! These photos will be sure to bring back happy memories and bring that feeling of love and joy for one another. That is such a beautiful purpose of photos and one that I hope to accomplish with each family that I have the privilege of photographing.
