What is unique about this season of life together as a family?
Mickey is new but not so new that he's sleepy all the time anymore. Al shows him attention and affection and he covers his ears when Mickey cries. Meris loves to hold Mickey but he's almost too big for her to hold confidently. Kupa is getting up in years but is still healthy.

If you never step foot in your house again, what are the memories you'd want to keep with you forever?
The old imperfect house where we first lived as a family. The simple activities and moments with A____. The feeling of our home being cozy, loving, and simple (and often messy!).
2020 Mini Sessions, Part 1
2020 pandemic parameters (like Stay Home orders and advisories to avoid indoor spaces with non-household members) may have put a bit of a limp in my step as an in-home family photojournalist but it did NOT stop the mini session magic from happening. I think I did close to 16 mini sessions, some in the spring and some in the fall.
Here are some highlights from those families with last names beginning in A to M. I’ll post the remainder of the alphabet another day soon.

Summertime. It was a lovely summer. I loved coming to this family’s custom-built new home to document some of their life together since they added a second daughter. Such a thoughtful house, such a loving family, such a chubby baby. All the goodness.
