Stailey Family

admin — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:14:33 +0000

Ann came to me many moons ago wanting photographs of her family. Little did I know that I would photograph both of her daughter’s, Hanna and Lyndsey standing in their wedding dresses in front of the same mirror Ann and her Mom each stood in front of when they were preparing to be married.

I am not only the keeper of people’s stories through the generations of photographs I make, I get to watch and listen to people as their lives evolve. I met the Stailey Family when Ann and Bob brought their young daughters to the studio.

Since I began photographing this beautiful family, I have gotten to know them and have been moved by the love they share in the world and as a family. Bob has since died and his memory lives on in all of us. The girls are now married and I have photographed both of Lyndsey’s babies. Ann brought her mother in recently along with her daughters, son in laws, and grandchildren. Talking with four generations of family members and having the gift of photographing them is a remarkable experience.

It warms my heart hearing what everyone is doing in their lives, watching them grow and feeling as though they are like family to me.

I highly encourage having professional photographs made to hang on your walls and to give to your children when they get older. While photography in digital form has its ease and joy, there is nothing like looking at years of photographs on the walls that tell the story of our family and of our lives.

The Three Musketeers

admin — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:15:10 +0000

At the age of 5, these three girls became fast friends.

From grade school graduation through upcoming high school graduation, the three young women have laughed their way through life. Looking through the lens, I saw three beautiful young women who clearly have a zest for life. At times I could picture them as little girls, tickling each other and giggling. I also saw three young women ready to set out into the world

to experience new adventures.

On behalf of myself, Reece and Marianne, we wish all of you seniors a magical time as the world is revealed through you and as you.

Mitzner Family

I have been photographing Ronnie and her children since they were quite young. Now she is bringing her grandchildren. I find such delight in not only seeing families as they grow, but learning about what roads families travel and how their journey through time has affected them as human beings. Getting to photograph a new generation of a family is a remarkable gift. I am grateful.

Jannine & Julia

admin — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:41:54 +0000

Jannine and Julia, along with Grandma and Grandpa, came into the studio and we immediately went to the play area so Julia could take time to adjust to a new environment. Little by little, the serious face melted away and was replaced with a smile that lit up the room. As with most two year olds, keeping Julia engaged was the key to great photos. Up in the air, sitting on shoulders, hanging upside down, and spinning are often the best way to make photos that capture the joy and the relationship between family members. What shows in the photos is pure love. May we all be so blessed!

3 Brothers

The Frankum Brothers came into the studio with traces of breakfast on their faces, fabulous cowlicks, inquisitive questions and playful spirits. We did individual photos first as they each shared stories with me about their lives and incorporated our imaginations into the plot. Laughing and being silly, we made the photo session fun to where they wanted to have photos with all three of them together. Once again, I am not sure who had a better time, the boys or me.
