It has been such a pleasure capturing all the milestones in this precious family’s life.  I have known Eric for over 20 years (wow, thats hard to believe!) and when they asked me to capture the whole family, I was so excited.  I really think capturing your entire family; parents, siblings and cousins as often […]
