    The Outtakes and Thanksgiving

    So… you know how life can sometimes get so busy where you feel like you’re treading water but it’s getting harder and harder and you feel like you’re struggling to keep your head above water? Yeah, it’s felt like that for these past few months. All good things- school stuff, activities, schedules, appointments. Means the kids are growing up, thriving, and we are definitely not in the baby stage of life anymore.

    Pan Family Session

Check, check, check.                   At the end of it, I overheard their sweet girl say, “Well, that was fun!” and I couldn’t have agreed with her more. So fun meeting and spending an afternoon with you, Pan fam!

    Pyo Family Session

    Spending some time with families- running around, playing, and getting to know them through photo sessions is seriously one of my favorite things and I count it a blessing whenever I get the opportunity. The Pyos’ session was pure fun with the cuteness levels going off the charts. Loved the time we spent together!                                                       Thank you Pyos, for an awesome afternoon! Such fun to hang out with you guys!
