The G Family

Krista spent some time with this lovely family while all of the “kids” were in town over the summer.  Patty and Dan are one of the nicest couples you’ll ever meet, and they’ve raised some pretty amazing children!

Spring (2015) Mini Sessions

I know that I’m slightly biased given that most of these families are friends of mine, but Spring mini-sessions were especially wonderful this year!  :)  It was a perfect May day and so much fun!

A holiday session at home with family

winter extended family lifestyle portrait photography at home near Christmas

Talk about a quintessential pre – holiday family day!   These grandparents had their children and grandchildren over for a beautiful session with Krista just before Christmas last year.  My favorite moments captured are the ones that catch the family just being themselves.  Sometimes quietly, sometimes goofily, but always genuine and real.
