Here are some more favorite photographs from an early senior session that I  loved doing. There is a different hope and excitement than the little ones I photograph. It is as if the dreams shift from parents to the child (I should say young adult) and it is inspiring to be a little part of this time in a person’s life.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

– Henry David Thoreau

The horizon leans forward,

offering you space to place new steps of change.

– Maya Angelou

Holiday time is the best time for the family photo!  Three little girls at a park is super fun and a challenge.  Thanks a bunch!

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.

Having three girls….they are still a beautiful couple!

Another photo shoot as baby gets older….big sister still a big help and still smiling!

“A sister is a gift to the heart,

a friend to the spirit,

a golden thread to the meaning of life.”

Love those legs before they start moving around!

A mini-session for this cool little guy needing head shots to make it big.   He has the talent and looks!

Summer is here, so we headed up to the mountains to enjoy some cool weather and fresh air. There are so many reasons to love camping: bright stars, no distractions from family and nature, long walks to nowhere, discovering bird’s nests, watching the bugs, collecting rocks, devouring marshmallows and hanging out with good friends.  But, at three in the morning, I could have easily come up with a few reasons not to camp!

In wilderness I sense the miracle of life,

and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

Adopt the pace of nature:  her secret is patience.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
