I had such a wonderful time shooting this family last fall. Their photos have literally been some of my favorite images I have ever taken. To watch children grow up each year and getting to document that for a family is such an amazing privilege because that family will be looking back on these photos when their children get older.

I’ll be the first one to admit that I don’t wear make up everyday and I’m lucky if I get to wash my hair! Taking care of two kids all day and running a photography business at the same time, not to mention being a wife and trying to keep my house clean, is a lot to do! However, you really need to set some time aside for yourself and schedule some head shots or a branding session. Showing who you are to your clients is one of the best things you can do for your business!

Photographing families and especially moms-to-be is so special to me. Whether they are mothers expecting their first child, expecting again, or having their rainbow baby like me, having a child is one of the most wonderful experiences you can have. When I found out that Melissa was expecting a baby boy and also her last baby, I wanted to create some beautiful images for her! Melissa is a teacher like me, as are most of the women in my immediate family, so it was even more special to schedule this session for her.
