It is no secret that I enjoy taking pictures. What you may not know is that I also love people-watching. It's really one of my favorite past-times. Humans do funny things. However, family-watching is my absolute favorite. Family interactions bring so much more emotion to the table than just watching people at the mall. Seriously - three words - King of Queens.

I often hear people say some member of their family would like pictures (usually mom) but they just hate the process of trying to coordinate everyone's outfits, locations, nap schedules, work demands etc. Couple that with the empty promises we tell ourselves of losing 10 lbs, looking 10 years younger and finding the perfect outfit, and family pictures can be hard to schedule.

This sweet and adorable family was amazing. They were willing to go with this non-traditional idea and they rocked it! These are the moments I adore my job. ...

so much has happened recently and I am so excited! I just got back from WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Professionals International). I feel inspired and energized to take more pictures of your adorable kiddos! In light of that, one of my most popular pictures has been of my son as Clark Kent. I believe that every child is a super hero in their own way. I love seeing their little personalities come out and encouraging...

However, as often happens, life becomes busy, and "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" as my grandmother would say. In other words, what...
