The Arey Family

This wonderful family moved in across the street from us a year and a half ago.

I took them to a nearby favorite spot for their family picture.Polly is the wife of Jordan and mother of these four lucky kids.
Polly is such an awesome friend to me, always ready to help my family in any way possible.
She's great at lending a listening ear and likes to surprise us with yummy homemade treats.

Jordan is a fun loving guy and my son's Young Mens President (youth leader) at our church.
If you're in need of a great Financial Consultant, contact Jordan Arey with Allegis Financial Partners 

Kaylee is always so sweet and kind to my girls.

She's like a big sister to my girls and has the biggest heart.

Carson is a very fun and energetic boy.

He loves to come over and play with Tyler.

They like playing sports in the backyard and 

learning how to draw on Art for Kids Hub.

Ethan is in Julia's preschool class.

He's got a great imagination and a contagious laugh.

 Brad is so fun.  He calls me "Lis Lis". 

This boy can totally keep up with the big kids.

 What good looking brothers!

 Don't worry!  I can tell when the kids are totally done being in front of the camera!

My Family

I'm so grateful for my family

and the way they motivate me to better myself.

 I strive to be the wife 

and mother my family deserves.

We totally bribed the kids with homemade pumpkin bread for cooperating.

Sugar brings out the crazy in K!

Four Generations

It was a bright sunny summer day in Upstate New York... 

which created perfect window light for an indoor photo shoot with my 94 year old Grandma Jean.

Grandma Jean had just had her hair perfectly coiffed for a special occasion: Four Generation Pictures.

My sister, Emily wanted me to capture some four generation pictures that she could treasure forever.

Her baby, Hanna's middle name is Jean after my Grandma Jean.  

My mom's middle name is also Jean.  

Grandma Jean has lived in an assisted living facility for almost two years.

She is in good spirits. 

Her short term memory is about gone, but her long term memory is pretty good.

I made sure I got a picture with my grandma.

I sure hope it's not the last time I get to see her.

Jagoda Family

My sweet sister, Emily and her family are one good looking bunch.  

We had so much fun together capturing these moments. 

 Emily and Nate's baby girl, Hanna is very loved and  has the best belly laugh I've ever heard.  

I sure wish we didn't live so far away, but I'm grateful for 

all of the quality time we had in New York. 

Olsen Family

 This family of 5 sure kept me on my toes during this photo shoot.  

The boys were excited about the location and we had a fun time exploring.  

Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with me, Chelsea!
