Photographing Family Milestones We've been on an incredible photographic journey with a wonderful family that we first met at their maternity portrait session. The arrival of their adorable baby girl brought immense joy, and we were deeply honored when they asked us to photograph the precious moments of their newborn's early days.

When our oldest son Jack started school the first few days were a breeze.

Being critical, within reason is something I applaud, it’s how we get better after all but when these thoughts go too far they begin to wreak havoc on our lives. These overly critical thoughts prevent us from getting the most out of life and can even negatively affect our love life, our social life, and our work life. The Way You See You If I were to show you a photo of yourself what would be your immediate reaction? Would you focus on your imperfect smile? How about your imperfect skin? Even the mos ..read more
