I consider it such an honor when families invite me to document their intimate and precious memories each season. These family portraits at Trilith are some of my favorite to date. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to capture some sweet moments for Luke, Emily and their adorable little ones and I’m always bewildered at just how fast these beautiful children grow! This constant state of change just reinforces my passion for capturing and freezing these incredibly fleeting moments. Maybe it’s because I’m a mother myself, but I find such delight in photographing families. Capturing those connections between siblings or between child and parent. Figuring out how to paint their personalities in a photograph. These things just give me life and so much joy.

Emily and Luke’s heirloom family portraits at Trilith this past fall was just as beautiful and joyful as ever. We spent the later part of the morning walking around the lake at Trilith, snapping photos as we walked and then settled on a blanket under a tree for some tender moments with the baby Eli, Harper, and JP. (You can see Eli’s in-home newborn session here). Emily did a spectacular job coordinating their wardrobe with navy and neutral tones of gingham and the kids had a blast running around and exploring. So without further ado, here are some favorite family portraits at Trilith.
