One-year-old Ilana

One-year-olds are so cute! They’re just getting more stable on their feet but there’s still that wobbly cuteness that comes with trying to maneuver different surfaces. I loved getting to watch Ilana figure out the beautiful park we met in. She was hesitant to offer us a smile at first, but once she got going, …

Holidays-R-Us

One of my favorite parts about spending time with this family is hearing about their really cool family tradition: for every major holiday they dress up and have a photo shoot!

When the Grandparents are here… photos!!

Connie’s mom and dad were visiting from overseas for just a short time, so I am glad we were able to get together for a family shoot! I know that the kids, Anson and Kelsie, will miss …
