I am so excited to share this beautiful family with all of you today! I have been very fortunate to meet some wonderful people over the years and this family is one of the absolute kindest and loveliest families you could ever hope to meet. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Dana first through work, then as a friend, and now also as the pastor at the church our family attends. She is a brilliant human being who is super engaged in helping others and being super involved in the community. I also met Donald through work first as a chaplain who provided spiritual care to patients in early recovery but have gotten to know him more and more as time goes by. And their son Davis is an exceptional young man. Incredibly taleneted musically, smart, and with a wealth of possibilities in his future.

For their session, we decided to go to Rock Springs Park since the fall colors were beautiful here. I always do my best to get some standard portraits but also candid moments that capture who the family and individuals are. I had so much fun working with this trio and am so excited to share their session with you now!
