Ok, so I am a week late in doing this. My excuse is this: Life is good. Thank you all for giving me a great year of capturing new love, new life, new beginnings, strong family ties, and a boatload of great memories. Here are just a few of the highlights of the year. May 2012 find you happiness and new hope.
Sometimes I meet a family I get to capture and just know we are going to be instant friends, sometimes, life has it in store for it to be a brief encounter, leaving me hoping that I have left an impression in their hearts and memories.
Samantha was one of those instances. I had the pleasure of capturing her and her two older sisters 4 years ago. I loved every shot of that session and loved playing with that family, but of course, they lived over the mountain and had different lives than mine, so our paths never connected again, until now… Sam is graduating high school, and I was so honored that they called me to capture her senior portraits. Nothing better than a family that comes back to you, its then I know my first impression was a good one.

Family extensions are the best. My sister in law asked me to capture her family portraits… and by her family portraits I mean her mom and dad, her two brothers and their family, and of course her family… and combo’s of everything in between. Believe it or not I was most nervous about my own nieces giving me what I need, as they are used to goofy auntie, and may not think I’m all that funny by showtime. But using my super photography powers, even they gave me the warmth in a real smile, and most importantly the soul of the image that was needed.
I had so much fun capturing a family that I have come to love. The Ryan Family Rocks! Thanks you guys for some good laughs and for not thinking I am completely crazy in my technique of getting good smiles! Or do you?
