My most treasured images

When The Big Move took us to this small town, I shut down my business. It was a relief to let it go, and it broke my heart. Now, I am focusing on therapy, and image making for the joy of it. Since I have not taken an image worth celebrating in a bit, I share with you my most treasured images thus far.

Allow me to preface these by saying, not one of them is perfection. Many are soft and OOF, and some are from the beginnings of my photography journey. I love them, flaws and all.

Damn transitions lenses, but I love the action, and so much more about this image.

Homeschool at the coffee shop. Jairus is an avid reader. I love that about him.

My favorite client’s son. Nine months old here. I adore detail shots.

Named Roman, he is the valliant little boy his name implies.

Carter’s newborn Session.

Favorite clients again, when Carter was in the belly.

My son, Daddy behind him.

Mount Rainier Super Moon.

The majestic Mount Rainier.

One of my favorite baby images, ever.

Carter, yet again. His parents are my favorite. His dad is an artist, and we really feed off each other. I always have great inspiration when we do a session together.

Amelia. She is very much my girl.

Amelia’s other side.

That guitar is a treasured family heirloom. This shot moves me to tears. The story behind the guitar, the meaning to the family, makes it all worth it.

Helping me cook, Amelia’s toddler years.

Warmth on a cool night, light, peace.
