Mackenzie was truly amazing to photograph. It was so much fun listening to and watching her dance on campus. If someone asked me to describe her in one word, that word would have to be JOYFUL.

Generations…

People often ask me who I like to photograph most. My honest reply is, "whoever I am working with at the moment". It's true, I really feel that way. I do have to admit, though, I enjoy working with multi generations during a photo shoot. I have a strong belief in family and feel honored when I get to document a special moment that includes lots of loved ones. This family is close to my heart and I so enjoyed photographing all their specialness!
