Editing these photos was such a joy for me.  I think it was a combination of Rayna’s hilarious and adorable expressions, the way the images bring out all of their personalities so well, the fact that I love this family, and the knowledge that they are about to embark on a huge adventure – packing up and moving for the next few years to Santiago, Chile.  I imagine Rayna looking at these pictures someday and feeling so loved and cherished and perhaps seeing her parents in a new light.  I feel like these photos represent an exciting, uncertain, adventurous, momentous time in their lives.  I’m grateful I got to be a part of it in a small way.  Blessings to this sweet trio as they launch into their new lives in Chile!  Love you guys!JJR Blog-18

    Tim Walters - Laura, you really did a masterful job of capturing the essence of the love this family has for each other. I will enjoy these pictures that help me to survive without them while they are so far away.

    Thank youReplyCancel

We’re so thankful to call this amazing crew our dear friends, and I was incredibly blessed to document this sweet, chaotic, glorious time in their lives.  I captured them right at home, in their backyard, and isn’t this family absolutely gorgeous?  They are full of life and love, and they make the world better by being in it.
