o'connor family.

 One kid just out of braces.

One kid getting hers soon.

The last kid with a missing tooth in front.

The perfect time to capture some family pictures.

We had a fun time with the O'Connors last week...

and check out the last picture.

The kid with the missing tooth has a great arm!

ruby & charley.

 I get a little giddy when I know I'm going to see Ruby and Charley for pictures.

It's a guaranteed adventure full of smiles and stories.

 They are both filled with wonder and curiosity...

 ...personality and cuteness...

...love and snuggles...

 ...and they both know how to fly.

 After a little break for some summer family time,

Bria's session was the perfect way to kick the fall season off.

She and I (and nineteen others) spent a year together in fifth grade.

We meet every fall for family pictures.

I've watched her grow up from a tiny one in pigtails to the beauty she is today.

And frankly, I can't believe it's time for her senior year.

She is stunning, strong, and smart.

Enjoy these few images from her session.
