Larson Family

I had an opportunity to take pictures of my friend Suzanna and her family recently. Practically the very first picture we took of Suzanna that evening was perfect. She’s incredibly beautiful and photogenic and it made shooting her a breeze. After we took some pictures around my mom and dad’s house, her husband and boys came out for some family shots. I was pleased with how they turned out. I finally feel confident playing with the sun and it feels soooo good. Suzanna is stunning and her family is clearly excited for their newest bundle of joy coming soon! Here are some of my favorites: untitled shoot-334 untitled shoot-335 untitled shoot-336 untitled shoot-361 untitled shoot-375 untitled shoot-396 untitled shoot-402 untitled shoot-405 untitled shoot-446 untitled shoot-472 untitled shoot-532untitled shoot-536untitled shoot-516

Pictures with Mags

Last week I asked Maggie if she wanted to let me take some pictures of her so I could practice before taking some maternity shots for a friend. She surprised me by answering with an enthusiastic ‘yes!’ and so we headed out for an hour or so to play around. The previous week she’d attended drama camp with Cora and Chach and was more than pleased to act out some emotions and do some dramatic play. These aren’t even my favorites from what we got, but it is a demonstration of how drastic the light changed while we were out. It was also a fun way for Audrey to get some one-on-one time with my mom and dad and Maggie and I time to have a different type of play.

Taking a Leap

Pipe dreams. That’s what my Grandma Midge calls them. You know. Those ideas and thoughts that sometimes feel beyond reach or too difficult to achieve. I’ve had a pipe dream about photography, and capturing the everyday adventure, for quite a while now. I’m trying to figure out if I want my dreams to be just dreams or if I want to make them a reality. It’s hard and really easy to let fear dictate my choices and decisions.

So, here’s to not letting dreams just be dreams.

And taking a leap.
