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!

Woolner Family

Most of the Woolner family recently moved to my local area from Southern California.

Their son stayed south, as he is pursuing his college education…

Eden & Zion

While visiting family up in Washington state, I took advantage of my sister-in-law’s beautiful home to update Zion and Eden’s portraits.

Sometimes people tell me these girls look like me. I don’t see it, but I certainly take it as a compliment!

Ave Family Portraits

As is customary, I have let a lot of time pass since I last shared. I went through my photo library and had to make a tough call on which beautiful family I would post. These two cuties caught my eye…

Their photo session was done in their back yard. They have a fun playhouse/fort, I love the color! Here they are with their beautiful mom and proud dad…

Such a joy to have photographed- thank you, Ave family!
