Creating a truly custom photography experience for my clients is what I love most about my work. For me, this is not accomplished through staged settings or elaborate props or stylized posing. I prefer to draw on more organic, inherent elements — the individual personalities of my clients, the way they relate to each other, our collective mood, the light, the time of year, the weather, the existing features of our setting. At each session, these factors and more combine to create an entirely unique experience, and consequently, entirely unique and personal images.
Sometimes a photo session comes together in such a spontaneous, effortless way it feels truly magical. Last year’s photo session for this family was one of those sessions. When we headed out to the same location again this year, I confess I was a little bit nervous that we might not be able to recreate last year’s magic. But I needn’t have worried because of course the point was not to recreate the past, but to capture the present in this family’s life. Yes, this year was different with different weather, different light, mowed grass instead of long grass, and slightly older children. From different elements, we crafted a different kind of magic, a sequel that I love just as much and maybe more.
What were they laughing about? That’s a secret I’m not going to tell. 
A heartfelt thank you to the T family for another wonderful session. Until next year . . .
Big sister was pretty delightful as well.
by hope
