F fam : portraits || cedar rapids, ia family & portrait photographer

 
 the clients that booked me when I first started my business, will always hold a special place in my heart.

because they hired me when I didn't even have much in my portfolio or much experience yet...

and this is one of those families. :)

They moved here last year, and Clayton works with my brother at the local golf course...

they found out through him that I did pictures, and Donita called me about that

and also babysitting for their two little boys.

I remember the first time I went to babysit for them--I hadn't even met Donita yet,

just talked to her over the phone..and she came and opened the door and then showed me around their house.

I watched Costner and little Lucas that night, and once her and Clay got back,

 I chatted with her some more...and more...literally for an hour!

Donita is such a fun person to talk to, and I'm so glad her family moved to this area...

I totally love meeting new people--one of the many blessings in life. :)

here are my favorites from their session back in September--and if you'd like to see the ones I took of them from last year,

you can see their family ones here, and Lucas' baby pictures here.
