What a joy it is to watch families grow over the years! There is something so beautiful and memorable about photographing a couple expecting a baby, and then capturing them again after their little one arrives. I suppose this is because time goes by so quickly and those sweet moments of peacefulness – while the baby is inside mama and then when the baby is so tiny and sleepy – seem to be gone in a blink of an eye. I have found myself absolutely loving photographing families this year, and am excited to focus more of my time shooting sessions like these next year!

To my 2013 family clients: THANK YOU so much for allowing me to capture your beautiful, expanding families!

Here are some of my favorites from family sessions in 2013!
