Family Portraits {2011}
“Other things may change, but we begin and end with FAMILY”.
I love the break winter gives my business. True, it’s a self-appointed break (due to lack of enjoying cold temperatures and freezing subjects), but it’s a break all the same, and I love it! A time to recharge, organize the previous years computer files, design wedding albums, and plan for the coming years events.
This morning I was going through some files of family photos and decided to post a few of my sessions from last summer. I don’t usually post family pictures before Christmas (so as not to spoil the whole ‘sending out of the family Christmas picture’), but now that that’s past, here’s a peek into some of the fun families I was privileged to work with last year.


Oh for summer and the vivid colors and warm sunshine again!

If you can’t tell, I’m having a square photo fetish right now. Ah, love them!



And I can’t resist one of my parents…just because their cute and I like them. ![]()

Treasure your family today, and make memories that will last a lifetime!
Chris + Sylvia = affection
I’m so thankful I have happy pictures to look back on from this wedding! It truly was a beautiful day, complete with lots of love and all the rights components to make a lovely wedding day. The value of being able to separate business and personal life while on the job was also brought a bit closer home when our car broke down on the way to take pictures that morning. Thanks to many kind souls, we were able to proceed through the day with a borrowed car and had a ride home the next day (we were in Indiana), but the added stress was definitely not something I wish to repeat anytime soon! My hubby did a great job of arranging things with our car while I [attempted to] carry out the wedding portraits as though all was well with the world. ![]()
All that to say, meet Chris and Sylvia, who were happily married and celebrated as planned!
