While visiting my brother and his family recently, I had the opportunity to take some family photos. We shot for a little while, in a couple different locations, and made some beautiful images, perfect for that frame on the mantel or the front of the Christmas card. And though I am excited to show those ones (in a future sneak peek!) it’s these two that have captured my heart. These two images, to me, embody their little family – all the energy and chaos and love. They simultaneously bring a smile to my face and put a lump in my throat because it makes me remember… the way they are right now… and how much I adore each and every one of them.


My brother will probably hate me for posting these, but these are the ones that remind me why I became a photographer. ![]()
