I know these guys have been waiting for a peek at their photos, so I’m sharing a few to hold them over.  One thing that we really connected on was running a business, while also raising a family.  Check it, they own and operate United Maids of America, a successful commercial and residential cleaning company, all the while keeping up with a busy household, and  maintaining their sanity!  : c)  They were super relaxed to talk to, and bounce business ideas off of, and were just all around good, positive, salt of the earth people.

They had two things that could make any portrait photographer giddy (besides beautiful children), an amazing wardrobe, and they were up for anything!  We started off with a professional meets urban style family portraits.

And thanks to being up for anything, we ended up with an edgy love vibe!  Love it!

Being a visual artist, it really makes a huge difference when my clients trust my artistic vision.  It allows me to really explore the creative process and approach the session with my heart wide open.  This brings a fresh, inspired energy to the session and the portraits.  I know it can be hard because we (including me) often have our preconceived ideas about what a portrait should look like, but when we can let go of that and can flow with the moment, the light, the feelings, the environment…amazing images can happen.  Those are the moments that move me…and I give thanks.
