I heart me some Adamson’s :)

Lael and Mike just welcomed their first daughter into the world, and brought her and the rest of the fam in for some pictures. I really love this family. They really appreciate art, and allowed me to do some fun things with baby. All of the children are always so well behaved it is always such a delight to see them. Can’t wait to see you all again!

Norris Family

When Jess first contacted me to set up a session to photograph her family, she mentioned to me that their dog would be the best behaved. I knew right from there, this session was going to be full of enenrgy and a fun one! And it didn’t disappoint/ The kids were cracking us up. From a variety of expressions, to the kids fighting with each other, I got to see it all, and loved it. Here are some fun shots we captured this day. Thank you!
