The white 15 passenger van pulled into the park, and I thought, “It’s go time!”  Eight kids, this family has eight kids, and I agreed to photograph them all. At. one. time. What was I thinking? Oh, and by they way, they were going to bring their very large dog.** Once they all piled out […]

I can’t think of a better couple to be my first engagement clients. I met them in January, and have loved getting to know them over the past 8 months.  They have such a great story of overcoming adversity to be able to stay together through some hard situations.  They were so comfortable in front of the camera.
