update: Michelle and Isaac were called to Heaven early Christmas morning.  You'll always be "my" Michelle.  Love you.  Aleera is living with her Grandparents and doing fine....and being loved by so many.

I've never photographed children that I didn't know really well.  So I was nervous when a former co-worker asked me to shoot her family....but so excited that she would trust me.

We braved a super windy day and couldn't get two of the shots I wanted, but they were all troopers!

Thank you for spending part of our Thanksgiving weekend with me!

From the first of two sessions on Saturday, my good friend Kim and her family:

On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting another friend's family.  Their home made for the perfect setting. 

We met when we joined a New Mom's Group in our area with our eldest (they were 1-2 months old).  All of these children have grown to be best friends & some of us ladies have created a strong bond.  There are days that I don't know what I would do without them.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your family!
