The N Family - Family Portrait Session

It was wonderful to see The N Family again to update their family portraits. I had first met them last year when little Lennon was born. She has changed so much in 11 months, but one thing that has remained the same is her adorable, sweet face!

We met at Hartwood Acres Mansion near their home. I love this location for it’s beauty and the array of backgrounds. We got so many different looks, simply by walking around the gorgeous historic property.

I was happy to take a few shot with their pups, Axel and Moose, at the end of our time together, too.

The T Family - Extended Family Portrait Session

Summer is a time to reunite with family. The T family came together from all over the region and out of state, to have fun together for a whole week! It was my honor to capture their portraits.

I love the color scheme they chose, which looked so nice against the background of Hartwood Acres Mansion.

It was evident that there is a lot of love between this group.

It was a sweltering evening, but we found some shade behind the mansion on the beautiful patio steps leading down into the pavilion area.

As the sun was setting, we made our way into the gated garden area to capture each sibling group within the grandchildren.

I hope these images are treasured for years to come.

Evelyn is One! - First Birthday Session

It has been a pleasure to capture little Evelyn throughout her first year. This darling girl is so precious, as is big sissy Hadley. The girls looked like two miniature princesses running around the Hartwood Mansion garden. Every time I do a session there, I feel like I am in England at a stately manor. I was a little disappointed by the lack of blooms in the area for early May, but the M Family brought all the beauty we needed to get some great shots.

Happy 1st Birthday, Sweet Evie!

The G Family - Family Mini Session

I love seeing a client’s family grow. I first met the G Family when their oldest little guy was just a few months old. Since then, I’ve been happy to photograph several milestones for them, from holidays to birthdays, to sweet family sessions. This time around, I got to meet their new addition, Caleb! What a sweetheart he was for their first family session as four!

The S Family - Family Portrait Session

I was so honored to take these photos of my friends, The S Family, because it was their first session with their new addition, Baby Bennett! Bennett was born near the beginning of the pandemic, so getting newborn photos were understandably out of the question. Now that Bennett is thriving, it was the perfect time to get some family pictures taken outside.

The family chose Hartwood Acres as the backdrop, and it was my first time shooting there! I’ve already since been back with another client. As any local photographer will tell you, it is a popular place to shoot! You literally have to wait your turn to photograph in the popular spots in the garden and near the home, but it is worth the wait, as is getting a chance to photograph this beautiful family of four.

Welcome to the world, Bennett!
