Carlson Family

I almost fell out of my chair with joy when I got the text from Katie asking to schedule more photos with me. About a year ago they were one of my first families to ask me to photograph them and it's still one of my favorite galleries. You guys will always hold a special place in my heart! I am so excited to meet the new member of the family this summer! Cade will be such a good big brother. I loved playing with him and hearing that sweet two year old's giggle. Photographing families is so much more than getting a smile out of everyone-it's about movement, playing, interacting, and capturing the family in their natural beauty. It was so hard for me to narrow these images down, because so many of them showed some characteristic of Katie, Chad, or Cade. Those brief, intimate moments between mother and son before a new baby arrives, the playful nature of a two year old, and the love this family has for each other = my favorite.
