The Foulk Children


Great things come in small packages. Joe and Dalayni recently welcomed their new baby brother, Traxton, into the family. They instinctively nurture, protect, and care for him without reservation. Babies are amazing gifts from God; bringing new joy and peace into our lives.

Here are a few of my favorites from our children's session:

The Allen Family


Last week I traveled back to my hometown of Fort Scott, Kansas for a few days to help a friend photograph her first wedding. Between shooting for local clients, cooking dinner for my parents, playing with my niece and nephews, helping out with the family business and visiting old friends, time seems to disappear. However, I did manage to sneak away and photograph my sister and her family. It was a little chilly, but you would never know from the warmth and love they share.

Here are a few of my favorites from our family session:












After prying off their little fingers one by one that are gripping my legs and holding on with all their might, I finally managed to slip away from my niece and nephew who have begged and bribed me to allow them to climb into my suitcase and fly back to Portland. About an hour on the road to Kansas City, I receive an email from my niece stating in a very serious tone that if I don't turn around and come back right now she will slap me:) Guess I have it coming upon my return!
