Every year when I see the Stine family pop up on my calendar, I can’t help but smile. It’s hard to believe how many years have passed since the very first fall family session we did. Somehow it feels like no time has passed at all but watching the kids have grow & change is the sweetest reminder that they’ve been trusting me to capture their little family exactly as it is the last 5 years! I never want to take for granted the chance to watch Harper and Grayson go from Dinosaurs and giggles to crazy tickle fights and races to see who’s faster.

It’s crazy that they’re not little babes anymore! I almost melted when after the session Erin was telling me that Harper’s already talking about her plans of babysitting my little one when he gets older. And Grayson is in such a fun stage with his endless energy and goofy faces. I love watching Erin and Jason and the way they look at their kids and let them be themselves, it’s the kind of family dynamic that’s such a gift to capture.

The Stine Family,

I’m so grateful to get you guys in front of my camera each year. It feels like a little time capsule watching you guys grow and change and my photography do the same. It’s such an honor to be trusted to save these seasons of life for you guys and I can’t wait for the day Harper actually gets to babysit baby Alden. Until then, I’ll be over here holding onto every bit of this sweet season we’re all in.
