This family session by the lake was simple and relaxed. Mom, dad, and their three boys spent time together on the paddle boat and dock, looking for fish and frogs in the lily pads. The kids were curious, pointing things out as the family enjoyed the calm setting. Their connection and easygoing nature came through […]

I recently had a delightful mini photoshoot at Lavender Life Farm in Caledonia with two energetic boys and their sweet sister.
