Have you ever experienced a day where you feel so blessed and filled with joy that you’re practically overflowing? Well, that describes my day last Thursday when I had the chance to meet and photograph the Shields family!
Liz, a dear friend from high school, emailed me a couple weeks ago asking if I’d be able to photograph her sister, Sue, and her family as a gift to celebrate and honor Sue, as a beloved mother, wife and sister. To say that I was thrilled for the opportunity would be an understatement :)
I absolutely LOVED photographing this family. The joy and love that they share is beautiful and inspiring! They have touched my life and heart forever and for that I am so very thankful and blessed. I pray that when you view these images of precious memories that you will experience a blessing as well!
Enjoy!




















So…I could have kept shooting for hours, but I don’t think the boys would have been up for that ;) After they ran off (literally), I had fun snapping a few more portraits :)







Thank you Shields family for welcoming me into your lives for just one evening! It is one I will cherish forever :)

What beautiful pictures! You caught each of them as they really are. The expressions, actions and the true essence of who they are, are in each photo. Thanks for a wonderful job of our dear family.

Words cannot express the love I feel when I viewed these pictures! Even though I am Jack’s mom and probably alittle partial, there is so much love and laughter in this family and you did a wonderful job of capturing it!
Thank you for sharing your artistic eye through the lens of your camera. The pix are absolutely beautiful. You’ve captured their family whole-heartedly! Thank you!
Trish (Sue & Liz’s sister)
