Capturing connections is my big WHY. I do this because I want the world to see your love – for your spouse, children, family, fiancé, newborn, BAE if you must… whoever you love, I want to give you the memories of your relationship in print. For me, family sessions are about chasing down your two year old, telling jokes with your four year old, and pulling those little personalities out. They will shine if we let them. 🙂

The Regelins are an adorable family that traveled from Columbia for their family session. Grant is off to Hawaii very soon as he’s been stationed there. His family will join him shortly after. Tiffany contacted me to capture their family because the girls are growing so quickly! We took a stroll around Lake Linganore and played a few games. The kids were relaxed and happy and couldn’t wait to get their toes in the sand. Bryn showed me her twirl and how she loves to be silly. Two year old Lilah loved searching for rocks. Two year olds are awesome because they’re in this stage of continuous learning. They are curious little beings that run the show. Lilah was quiet but fierce. You can see it in her eyes.

Is this family awesome or what?! Look at those smiles! Natural, playful giggles and snuggling together. I love this.

Ohhhhhh, Tiffany! You are a gorgeous mama. I can tell how much you adore these little girls. LOVE!

It’s tough to keep the love when those little mess-makers we call children come into our lives. These two are a solid team. I love seeing parents who stick together.

You’re going to be a heartbreaker, little lady!

Tiffany specifically wanted the colorful kayaks in the photo like this session. I love getting creative with surrounding elements.

Thank you, Tiffany and Grant, for sharing your amazing family with me. Best of luck with your future travels. 🙂 Contact me now to set up your family session!
