Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. ~Marcy DeMaree

A bond between a grandparent and their grandchild is so precious, I was grateful to have the opportunity to photograph this beautiful grandma (AKA Lola) and her grandson. It was an honor to capture some memories for this family whose grandma lives out of the country and only comes to visit a couple times a year. Photos truly are the legacy we leave behind for generations to come, they freeze time and can bring us back to a moment the instant we look at it. While I like the posed shots, the in between moments are still my favorites--the moments I capture my clients playing, interacting with each other are the ones I hope my client treasure forever and plaster all over their walls, because that is their family as it was right at that moment, and it is most certainly perfect. This family was so precious, I loved working with them and Grandma (Lola) was a hoot! She was beautiful and she could run in heels better than I EVER could :) I hope this grandma, mom and grandson love these images as much as I do :) Thank you M family for sharing these moments with me! 

This last image makes my heart sing...I love everything about it :)

I wish I could make this time last forever...every minute is so precious when they are little, and while every minute may not be enjoyable {temper tantrums--yikes!} its the moments like these that make it all worthwhile. I am so blessed to be able to capture it for my family and for so many others!

I loved photographing this family so much! They were so easy going and so much fun! I got the pleasure of photographing them twice because on our first try the lovely Marshall wind was at an all time high and we didn't want any one to blow away! Thank you again, F Family! You were all awesome!

There is NOTHING in this world like that of a mother's love! I got the pleasure in April to photograph 8 beautiful moms and their adorable kids--just in time for mothers' day! It was such a fun day and I captured so may great moments for these kids and their moms. Here are some of my favorites from that day!
