The Armstrongs
The Armstrongs are missionaries who have lived in the Dominican Republic for a few years now. They have to be one of the most fun families I have ever taken photos of! They were so relaxed, easy to talk to, constantly making jokes and silly faces with one another… a photographer’s dream! I hope through my photos you can see how warm and loving this family is with one another.
The Bernotavicius Family
It was amazing to shoot a family session at this 500 year old Fort.
Pris & Chris
Chris & Pris
We celebrated Chris & Pris’ anniversary at a beautiful restaurant in Bayahibe called Trocadero. Prior to the dinner I took a few quick shots of them around the restaurant- we were there for sunset and it was gorgeous!
Indoors with the Woonacotts
I believe there is something special to be found in the routine of “everyday life.” That’s why I enjoy taking lifestyle photos so much. It may seem like “routine” photos now, but in a few years it will show how that it really was just for a season… a very special season. I’m so glad that this family invited me into their home to photograph this special season of toddlerhood for their son! I enjoyed taking photos of anything that they were doing… nothing staged, and basically just whatever little W wanted to do!
(Note: There are a lot of black & white photos in this blog post. I often give clients the same photos in both b&w and color as well.)
Outdoors w/ the Woonacotts
A year ago I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family. Little “Baby W” is not so little anymore! He is so much taller, and runs around everywhere now! But he still has those beautiful blue eyes and sweet smile 🙂 ! I enjoyed taking photos at the rooftop this year— the clouds were AMAZING!
J+S+M+A
Silje wanted to do an afternoon session in Zona Colonial since they are leaving Santo Domingo soon. I love taking photos there, and so we took some photos in the Plaza Duarte area. The little ones had so much energy, so it was fun taking photos of them jumping and running around! Pretty soon, a storm came in and it started raining. But I didn’t mind. I loved taking photos of the kids enjoying the rain. Luckily, we had a tiny little umbrella for the family to squeeze under!
The Corrals
Meet the Corral Family!
We had a lovely afternoon in the Zona Colonial area of Santo Domingo. The sunlight was perfect. They wanted a portrait session, so I took photos of the whole family, but also took a few candids. Some of my favorite photos were the ones where they were dancing- they looked like they were having tons of fun! The youngest son was so silly during the shoot, making faces and dancing around— I loved it! Hope you enjoy these photos of this beautiful family!
The Dilles
It was a lot of fun taking pictures of this lovely family and their little furry friend Louie. It was a pretty hot day, so we managed to find some shade around walls as well as the ruins of an old hospital. Some of my favorite photos were when everyone was just relaxing and enjoying playing with Louie!
Stacey's Maternity
Stacey is one of my dear friends who I have known since high school. I had the opportunity to visit her in Florida to celebrate a SURPRISE baby shower for her son, Owen. We had a great time hanging out, catching up, and talking all things BABY. We also got to stroll around a beautiful park with lilies and colorful trees- it looked like autumn! She was 30 weeks pregnant when these photos were taken, and she has the cutest little bump! I am so excited for her in this new season in her life!
