Home for the Holidays...

The holidays are steeped with tradition, filled with love and family.  I love spending time with our family and extended relatives through out the season.  The season seems to wrap itself around you like a blanket that warms your heart.  I count myself very luck to be able to help clients capture a bit of that warmth to cherish all year long!  I was asked to join this family at Grandma's home in Iowa City for some family portraits.  The memories, traditions and values are so vibrant there and I could see just how important it is for them to share that with their little girl so that those traditions will continue on, new memories made and values strengthened.

I felt so honored to be welcomed into the living room.  I felt certain that this fireplace had many happy stories of this family from the 40 years that they have resided in those walls.  It was the perfect spot to capture this family because of the connection that they have to it.  And so I thank them for sharing the afternoon with me.  I thank all of my 2013 clients for doing the same and I am looking forward to seeing all of you and even more new families in this new year!  Happy 2014!
