From Headshots to Home: A Special Family Session
A connection made during a free headshot event led to this heartfelt family session with two teenage boys, their loving mom and dad, and the sweetest dog. A reminder of how moments unfold in the most meaningful ways.
Back in March, I did an event that included free headshots for federal workers. It was my way of offering a small gesture of support. That’s how I met Seema.
Fast forward to last week and I had the joy of meeting her full crew for fun family session.
Her two boys are in that season of life that moves fast. One is finishing up his senior year and prepping for college, and you can feel that mix of pride, nostalgia, and a little bit of "how did we get here so fast?" energy.
The family’s sweet dog made an appearance too, and showed off his cuteness. We got some great portraits of everyone and some senior shots!
Grateful to have crossed paths and grateful to be the one behind the camera for this special time in their family story.

Fontaine Family: An Extended Family Session Full of Laughs and Love
This fun-loving extended family brought the energy, the smiles, and the chaos (the good kind!) to their session. Despite a sketchy forecast, the weather held out, and the result? A gallery full of beautiful, joy-filled images.
I recently had the pleasure of photographing an extended family session that reminded me exactly why I love what I do. An extended family just wanting to celebrating each other.
We did the classic group shots, but once we got through the formal stuff, everyone relaxed, kids started goofing off, and the “fake” laughter became more real.
Extended family sessions can feel a little chaotic, but once we get into the rhythm, it all falls into place. Thanks to this amazing bunch for bringing your full selves and letting me capture the love.
