Family Portraits - the Tottens

We photographed Emilie and Bo’s wedding way back in 2012 and since then we’ve been in their lives in one way or another. They adopted our foster cats Jimmy Sprinkles and Magnolia, had us do their maternity photos, and then baby photos. The other day they had me come out to their home to get some updated family portraits now that their kids are a little older. We love working with the Tottens and adore their family!

Thapar extended family portraits

I’ve done several photo sessions for Mala and Nitin over the past couple of years and I always love working for them! Right after our most recent session in June they invited me to come do Nitin’s extended family portraits a few weeks later. It was so much fun hanging out with their family and getting photos of all the different group combinations. Thanks to the Thapar family for having me make these portraits!!

5 month old baby portraits - Lucas

I’m supposed to be in the thick of wedding season right now but, obviously, that’s not the case with the pandemic. So we’ve been making more of a focus on our other big portion of our business which is family photography. Slowly I’m doing more and more sessions as the summer progresses. I can’t say I’m totally used to photographing with a mask on but scuba gear defogging drops helps with my glasses!

Anyways, last year Gladys and John had me come to their home to take portraits of the two of them and their extended family so they could put together an adoption book as they were in the process of adopting a baby. Well, in December their baby was born and they flew out to Texas to adopt him. I’m so happy that I was able to help out with their adoption journey and that they called me back to take some baby portraits of him. It was great to meet Lucas and I hope I get to do more portraits for them in the future!
