Family

I love working with families, especially extended families. I love to see the bond across generations. The R. family was a wonderful family to work with!

(See more of their images on my Facebook page.) (See images of other families on my web site.)They also are a very busy family, so we had to do some creative scheduling. For our first date, we were met with a snowstorm,…
