It is fitting that the last family I photographed before my big move to North Carolina was this beautiful family. Kim was one of the first other mamas I met when I moved to Westmont 10 years ago. I have seen her family change and evolve over the 10 years we have been friends and […]

The Rasmussen family invited me to photograph their family in their community of Westmont. We found a great mix of the area right near the tracks and a park nearby. Rosemary and Arand are so close as siblings and it was so much fun to tell the story of this family’s connection.
