This year has rattle us like no other. Some of us can’t even begin to comprehend the impact “this” has had in some many families. But with challenges come new beginnings; new opportunities; and the making of new memories.

In the middle of packing and moving out of state; this family of 4, including a brand new baby, decided to take a break to make memories. And what better way to say good bye to California, than to get photographed at the beach.

When I am “hired” to help make this memories, and I feel I get to be welcomed in a very intimate place for a family. They surrender themselves to my high pitch giggles, and laugher. They trust me to laugh before me. They trust me to let them get hugged by their kids, and their spouses. I get so much joy creating, and even more joy capturing their essence, and love for each other.

I will “forgo” of my SEO rules writing this blog, because I want you to know that I appreciate you letting me in. Thanks for letting me part of your family for the time we are together.

Dear Shank family… I am certain, in my heart, I will see you again. XOXO
