Another Year with the Specter’s


The Specter’s are another one of my OG families.  They took a chance on me when I was a newbie photographer, then hired me back in spite of being forced indoors by a winter storm for their first photo session.  Over the years since that first eventful session, my talent, their grapes, their daughter, and our friendship has grown.  I’m […]

Routine


The Nanson family hired me my first year out as a newbie photographer.  They put their trust in me, and have continued to hire me each year to document how their girls are growing.  By now we all have the photo session down to a routine: get in, get out, get on your way. I love seeing them each year, […]
