Megan & Frankie You know how great it is when you’re with people that keep you laughing and smiling, even when things don’t go as planned? That’s exactly how we feel with Megan and Frankie! These two are so laid back and full of joy. Their engagement session was full of laughter, even though it […]

The Nelson Family First, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Kelly and Russ! They’re celebrating seven years of marriage today! Life feels crazy now with two kids keeping them busy, but just wait until you see the portraits of just the two of them. You’d think this was an engagement session, not a family session with kids running […]
