Inspired Portrait Photography

Once day each summer my family and their families gather to celebrate in a style unlike any other I’ve seen. We call it a family reunion but it’s more comparable to a small county fair. We have a silent auction(where we raise funds for the following year) a raffle, loads of foods, time to relax, and many fun games and prizes for all people and all ages. This year the theme was “gather round the family tree” We were each encouraged to bring a leaf to add to the family tree, with each sibling (my mom’s sisters and brothers) having their own branches. It was great to see the unique way in which leaves were presented. Here are a few images of the many i photographed that day. I didn’t hear a count but our family has 125+ members.

If your special loved ones are getting together soon, I would love to be invited to photograph the day!

My Fellow Photographer and dear friend who has shared more Life advice with me than many others is fighting cancer.  David Grupa  is one amazing fellow, I know how much he’s impacted my life since we met in 2004 and I know many many other professional photographers would say the same. He gives endless to charitable organizations and works tirelessly to make everyone’s life more worth living for. He is humble and kind and someone I thank God for more then he knows.  Take a moment to google David Grupa and see the many ways he has made an impact.  My next fundraiser (details coming soon) will be to benefit David & his medical expenses, until then here is how you can help.

This Family has become very near and dear to me as mommy and me both have two kids that are similar in age. We have many stories to share. After the session I was able to have sometime playing with the new big brother building block and riding a little bike around the gallery, very precious!  Here is the newest addition to the family…

I was recently invited to photograph Hosanna Fest at Hosanna Lutheran Church when they welcomed Jimmy Needham to preform. Here are a select few of my favorite from the event. Thanks to Alex Ramerth and staff for making it a great event!
