Is this a beautiful family or what?! I have known this wonderful bunch for a very long time and since they were all home for Christmas this year they wanted to get family portraits taken. The "busy"ness of the season and the weather (several days of nothing but rain) made this family portrait session almost impossible. Luckily the weather cooperated the day before everyone went back home so we were able to capture some beautiful moments in this outdoor setting by the river. It truly was the perfect backdrop! Thanks for the fun, you guys are great!

















Say hello to the BEAUTIFUL Victoria, a senior from Taipei American School! Yes, you read that right! She traveled all the way from Taiwan for her senior portrait session. Victoria actually grew up living across the street from me and decided to do a couple years of high school in Taiwan. While she was home for Christmas break we decided to sneak her portraits in. She wanted a downtown more urban location which I thought was absolutely perfect for her style! She was a great sport as I drug her all over the place and told her to ignore the crowds of onlookers. We had so much fun together downtown! Thanks Victoria for a very fun shoot and I wish you only the best as you finish your senior year! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you!














This is my third year taking photos of this beautiful family. They are one busy bunch with several activities and nailing down a date where everyone could be there at the same time (on a day that it wasn't pouring down rain) was a little tricky. Our first and second attempts were "rained out" but we finally were successful and the overcast skies made for beautiful natural colors! We also wanted to change it up a bit so they had a different feel from the previous years. We took a few photos in the meadow then hiked in a bit and captured some at the edge of the river. We used every ounce of light we could find shooting until almost dark. Thanks for a fun evening!
