It all started about five years ago. WOW, it’s been five years! We didn’t know it yet, but our new neighborhood would change our lives. Unsure of how we stood, we gradually hypnotized our next-door neighbors to fall deeply in love with us. And, today, I stand confident in our success. We gladly shout sarcasm and love over the fences & through the windows. I wouldn’t have it any other way. They are a part of us, as we are them.
Danika is the oldest of two. She’s the Big Sis in not only her family, but ours as well. There’s something magical between her and our Peanut. It’s adorable! I’ve been going on & on & on & on about photographing her, for years now. In fact, I think it was every time she came home from college (which is frequently, but not often enough!) I was honored to shoot Little Sis Kara as she graduated from Central Valley Christian two years ago, but missed Danika.
That’s all changed now! Danika was home for her last Spring Break as a College Student. I suggested that we shoot some to document this time in her life. She was hesitant at first, but eventually worked up the bravery. She clearly didn’t know what she was getting into (or maybe she did!) She’s an amazing woman, who’s not afraid to listen to her head or follow her heart.
Here are just a few of my favorites…
