The Kehrli Family

I have to admit – I was a little nervous heading into this session. The Kehrli’s have four children under the age of nine and it’s hard to know what to expect early on a Sunday morning but they were wonderful! Paige, Owen, Elliot and little Patrice were so sweet and kind and well behaved…

The Jensen Family

I first met the Jensen’s last fall and today we met again in the orchard for some updated pictures of the boys. Garrett is 3 and Gavin just turned 1. Their birthdays are within a week of each other so it’s a perfect time to capture these memories. I can’t believe how much they’ve grown…

“e” is for Ethan

After a successful photo shoot with Nike, Ethan’s mom decided it was probably time to get some updated head shots for her little budding model. I’ve shot Ethan several times before but always with his younger brother, so it was nice to spend some time alone with this little cutie. I can’t wait to say…
