We got to see and spend time my beautiful, spirited, energetic, and very precocious niece over the holidays. The last time I saw her was 2 1/2 years ago. She is 4 1/2 now and brought a smile to all of our faces. I am so glad to have gotten to get to know her.  I cherish these photos of her.

This was such a sweet and special session. I first met part of this family when I photographed the youngest, 7 month old Pace, as a newborn. When they asked if I would come take their extended family portraits at the Oregon Coast, of course I said yes! I am always up for beautiful locations! The day could not have been more beautiful… the sun was shining, sky was blue, and it was actually kind of warm for a winter day. There was a lot of happy energy. 5 kids under the age of 5 or is it 6?? Either way, that’s a lot of little people. I love these photos. They are beyond real. They show the special connections and emotions.

Thank you for a lovely day. I look forward to showing you more soon…
