Thank you Kay and USRHS, Malka, our wonderful models (both children and animals.   ), and sweet Kara for an amazing shoot!

Work has been a crazy whirlwind of shooting, working, processing, scouting and more lately. I wish I had time to put up individual blog posts as each family and child is so special and unique.

Here are some quick sneak peeks for now.

No title can encompass the enormity of wonder packed into this weekend.

Thank you to my amazing and talented friend Leiba from Jolee Photography for sharing her home, location, friends, and family with me. We love all of you guys and feel so fortunate to call you our friends.

Thank you Drew for this amazing location.

Thank you to the beautiful and talented Amy of Saje Photography for choosing me to photograph your beautiful, funny, and all around wonderful family.

Here is a small sneak peek-

I met Kelly at a photographers association meeting a couple of months back and was delighted that she chose me to photograph her beautiful family.  Kelly is so full of life, laughter, and love, it exceeds the ability to have it confined to images. Her beautiful family both inside and out were like a azure sky on a hot summer day; endlessly amazing.

I loved spending time with all of you and can’t wait to show you what we created together.

Some more sunshine to share today.

Love, laughter, family and friendship was what this shoot was all about.  Jen Snyder is a wonderful and old friend of mine, and I am so lucky she entrusted me to capture the essence of her beautiful family!

Check out her work here-

I have SO many I want to share. I will share a bit at a time so each one can be savored and enjoyed.

Enjoy!

Just one from an awesome shoot today! More bits and images from the shoot coming soon.

Some of the sweetest things in life came together for me yesterday. A beautiful and wonderfully calm and connected family, streaming sunlight through the windows, my grounded and hardworking husband assisting me, and a feeling of allowing this antique loving family to feel like they have come to where they belong.

I can’t wait to show you all of them R family! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful time.

Dear Mr. Winter,

This year you have been hard on us.  You seem to have no qualms about dumping huge  amount of snow and ice on us, or dropping the temperature to bone chilling lows.

You seem to want to be remembered, talked about, and dealt with. I get it. We all need out time to shine. I hope you got enough of what you were looking for.

I do want to let you know, that although you keep on barraging us with so much cold and snow, their is still incredible warmth to be found within your days.

This shoot testified to that. The warmth, love, and real little moments of family can not be frozen by your bitter tries.

so long,

Zoe

I woke up to the sound of icy rain pounding on my windows. Cold, dreary,  rain that feels like it is pouring into your veins and makes you want to curl into a ball and sleep until the sun shines.

These are a beacon of warmth and sun. I am so happy to be posting them on a day like today.
