When Heather contacted me about wanting to set up a family portrait session I was so excited, but I admit that my excitement turned into slight apprehension when I learned that she wanted to include the family dog and that her daughter Peyton was 15 months old. Four subjects, two of whom could potentially be very uncooperative we would need to have a lot of skill, a lot of patience and little bit luck on our side. And you know what? Sometimes it’s the hardest shoots that get the best results because I think we got several AMAZING images, dog, toddler, beautiful mom and handsome dad and all!


And even though she made me work incredibly hard for it, I finally managed to get a little smile out of Miss Peyton!


Heather, Eric, Peyton & Thor, it was a pleasure meeting you all. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peak - I can’t wait to share the rest with you!



these are … wow!
These are amazing — simply gorgeous! I wish you lived near DC; we’re looking for a family photographer and I can’t find anyone who does it as good as you!
Love all of these especially the third one!!!
I absolutely LOVE these. So happy Heather called you, she is my best friend for 25 years.
Thanks everyone, especially Kendra for the referral! :)
