A January Morning

Don't blink, my friends because before you know it, your life will be different.  Keep those eyes WIDE OPEN, take it all in: the chaos, the familiar, the boring, the adorable, the frustrating and the heart warming. Your everyday life just as it is now will someday be different, and this is good and fine and natural. But don't blink, because you might miss all the good bits in the middle.Last autumn, I started to dabble in creating videos of my family. I fell in love with the form and quickly realized the small moments I was capturing would only become more precious with time. When I was creating my new portrait offerings, I knew I wanted to create a  more in-depth session for my family clients that included both documentary photos and video.I'm so excited to introduce my newest family photography offering: It's a Wonderful Life.  This lifestyle "day-in-the-life" session focuses on the common, yet important, moments of your every day life.Henry, Katalin and their wonderful family were my fist official It's a Wonderful Life session. We spent a January morning reading books, making pancakes, visiting with family and even taking in a little North Dakota winter. It was a lovely time and I'm so happy they opened their doors to me and my camera.You can view a short mini-movie from their session in the image above and a whole bunch of images from their session below.
