Two Star Ranch Fall Family Session
It’s always a joy to capture the Green Family’s annual photos, and this year was no exception! Their beautifully coordinated tan, brown, and olive toned outfits looked stunning against the charming ranch setting. Elder and Sister Green have been treasured mentors in my life for over 27 years, guiding me through every season. It’s such a privilege capturing these memories for them year after year!
Caldwell Park Cloudy Fall Family Session
Meet the Worden Family! Despite the gloomy skies, we captured beautiful, heartfelt moments with their sweet family at Caldwell Park. This session was extra special because it was part of my annual donation to the Turtle Bay Auction, and Brooke, whom I knew from past work with Ceramic Designs, was this year’s winner. It was such an honor getting to be their family photographer this year!
