This year I've had a bunch of return clients who have a new addition to the family. This is one of those awesome families. It's such a treat to see clients over (and over) again -- it's so fun to see how they've changed and grown (in lots of ways!). Meet Eli and his new baby brother Owen...

Another new family that I feel so fortunate to have met this year. We met up on a chilly October day. Not too chilly to be outside, but chilly enough that we pretty much had the park to ourselves. And I fell in love with this park. It was a perfect location suggested by this family. These are some of my favorite black & white images this year. I've been typing and erasing and typing and erasing for thirty minutes now trying to find the words to describe what it is about these images that I appreciate so much. But actually, I'd rather have the images speak for themselves and you can decide. I'll just say what a true pleasure it was to spend the afternoon with this family.

I've been lucky enough to have been photographing Alex since he was a few months old. He is one of my favorite little guys. You can't help but feel really happy when you're around him. :)
