It was the perfect day for a photo shoot ..

.. Few more shadows than I might have liked or know yet what to do with, the amateur photographer I am.  But the temperature, for a late summer day was just right.  And most importantly, everyone, all 18 of them, could be there.

Spent time taking this past week taking photos for a dear friend from our younger years and her beautiful family … as they face some pretty big life challenges.

It truly is an honor that people allow you into some of the most wonderful, heartfelt, intimate times in their lives in order to take a photo, or tell a story ..
