The Reilly’s have been friends of ours for years and recently Jen took a job working for Hershey in PA. (yeah, I know…I’m loving that she works for a chocolate company! Somebody has to!) Although we’re happy that they are starting a new adventure, they will be missed. Saying goodbye is never easy but, parting with a last photo-shoot makes it easier. Because of pictures…we have memories that will last forever.

We’re praying that your family settles quickly and the job is everything you hoped it would be. PLUS, we’re hoping to get out there and hang with the family really soon! Love you. thank you for letting me capture your family!

When I married Matt 10 years ago there were a few things I knew for sure.

1. I was never going to live in Canada again

2. I was going to go to Bethany Church

3. I was going to be friends with Dave and Vicki Willcock

My friendship with Vicki wasn’t instantaneous. It was a journey. Not cause we didn’t like each other because we did (well, I guess I should only answer for me…I did!)  But, we were (and are) opposites in so many ways and trust had to be built.  That doesn’t happen in an instant even though I wanted it to. Some things are worth the wait and this friendship is one of them. We had to walk many miles alongside each other and in the sharing of life we became incredible friends. Part of our journey is sharing the births of all 6 of our kids…Somehow it worked out for both of us! We both have a girl, boy, girl family of five  now!

Vicki was my best kept secret for a few years…now I feel like everyone is in on it and they are delighted to know her too!

She’s the first person I would call in an emergency and I know she would always be there for me.

She’s one of the rare people that truly delights in serving.

She’s changed over the last couple of years…stronger, bolder in truth, and more confident walk forward even into the unknown.

I’m so proud to you Vicki. Proud to be your friend. Thankful you are in my life.

Here’s some pictures of Vicki loving life with her  kids…love you Vick!

You can’t get too much of a good thing right? I’ve captured this family before and I will probably be capturing them again in the future. They are a gorgeous family in so many ways! It such a blessing to be able to bless friends with Family Portraits.

I picked a bunch of candids and featured each one of the kids in their spotlight. I love capturing the family without having to have each one looking perfectly at the camera saying cheese – although those are nice to have too!

I know I’ve said this before but I truly believe I have the most beautiful children in the world. Clara, my lovely surprise, is stunning! Her features remain petite even when the rest of her is growing and changing and gaining weight. Like my other two she is in the 96th % for height and 85th % for weight and then sadly only 35th % for her head! I love my kids…each one is sooooo different and perfect in so many ways.

I know someone is going to write asking about the amazing towel in the shots so I’m going to give you the information up front. My good friend Melissa Gruber is talented in so many ways. In the last couple of years she set up an online shop and makes the most creative things for kids. If you’re looking for incredible gift ideas or something fun for you new little one I can’t say enough about this towel! Click here for her blog!

Here’s celebrating Clara’s 6th months! Oh by the way, I wasn’t purposely leaving Leyton out of these pictures…he just happened to be sleeping when we did the photo-shoot! You snooze you lose.
