Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity.

I am happy for you to click share the images or share the album or share your online gallery link! I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal or alter them. Thank you!
