This family, the Ellis family, is at the heart of why people live in the northland.  I could watch this video over and over, because it makes me smile-and takes me back to an age gone by.  A time where people sat on the porch and talked, drank lemonade, and just spent time together.  A time where little boys ran around in overalls and came in muddy, when boys worked on the tractor with daddy and the big boy tools.

A time where life slowed down and we stopped to smell the flowers.  

This is, at its core, my goal in family sessions-not to just get posed family shots, but to capture families TOGETHER.  Because when we blink, our kids will be grown and gone-and I want to give the gift of freezing this moment in time for families to cherish for years to come.

Thank you, Ellis family-you've welcomed me into your family since little Mason was in your tummy, and it has been a joy to get to know you!
