    Wow, what a beautiful group of kids! The Stulps have 6 kids, all blonde hair, all so sweet and loving! We had a great time doing their photo shoot.  So much energy!  So much going on in that household every day! Jane is a melaluca product representative.  They carry all natural products. Great stuff! We use alot of their products. This family looks like they could be poster children for good health!! Thank-you Stulp family, it was so great to see you all! img_0583.jpg

    Teen photos

    Teen photos

    Teenagers are always hard to wrangle up to get them in for portraits.  They are just too busy! So much on the go , with sports and lessons, school and friends….Jackie wanted some photos of her 2 kids, and finally managed to get them in!  I asked if they could bring whatever they are involved with!  Erik does Judo and Rachel plays the violin, so we did some creative shots of them which they enjoyed! Thanks for coming in guys!
