cody & mellissa

Posted in Maternity

I am tempted to let this one float out into the world without words. It was such a beautiful night and needs little commentary because everything being felt in Cody and Mellissa’s lives is written on their faces. Love. Tenderness. Anticipation. A sense of being right at home with your best friend. Beautiful baby, you’re […]

They know how to have fun together which is one of my personal top family values. Their laughter comes easily and usually because of something they all know really, really well about […]

Keith and Morgan and Thomas. They are the dang happiest (and CUTEST) family around! Thomas is everything wonderful a two-year-old boy could possibly be. He is sweet, rambunctious, funny, eager, curious, and super-in-love with his parents. Photographing him was simply delightful. I think in this family’s case, the wild look in Thomas’ eyes comes from […]

Sometimes a family has such a tight-knit dynamic it’s like they have their own language. I felt that way about the Ring family. They know each other so well and the looks they exchanged and even the way they walked together had a well-worn rhythm to it. Aren’t they the cutest? I really hope my […]
