A Big Move

As a parent, I find great joy in seeing my children succeed in their passions and talents. The McCoyville family knows that joy- their very talented son was accepted into Boston Ballet School. This meant they would be packing up their home in Oregon to make a new home on the other side of the country.

Before they left the West Coast, they visited family in California- where I got to take their photos.

I look forward to the next family visit on this coast!

Allen Family

This beautiful family of four brought me to a lovely ranch studio for their portraits.

I was glad we got this photo in, soon enough they won’t fit together!

The lighting was nice, and they are so fun to spend time with.

I hope I have an update with them again soon… when they are a family of FIVE πŸ™‚

The Mays kids were excited to see their grandma and great-grandma, who were visiting California from the mid-west.

Christensen, McConville, McCoy

Rebecca organized family portraits while her brother and his family were visiting from out of state. I’m so glad she did! I had a great time being with each one of them. It was an honor to celebrate their family with them!
