Jared, Cindy and Tyler

How lucky I am to be a photographer and to have such a gorgeous family as neighbors. Jared and Cindy moved into my neighborhood a little while ago, and they are so kind and friendly (not to mention photogenic)! They wanted some family portraits with their son, Tyler - and their dogs, can't forget the dogs - so we took advantage of a beautiful day in their backyard.

I am so proud of these images. This was my first time really shooting for other people instead of just for myself so I was nervous (I honest-to-goodness had butterflies in my stomach beforehand), but these turned out exactly how I had pictured them.
