The Murphy Family {Rochester Hills, MI}

The Murphy Family reminded me of the opportunity I have to get to know people through photographing them. It's not only what I look forward to, but what makes this adventure worth it for me. They set aside time for me, invited me in to a tiny part of their life, and allowed me to attempt at capturing their personality-- and it was so fun! 

In our short evening together, I had the privilege of watching this family laugh together, parent bravely, love one another, run around joyfully, be serious, be goofy, and genuinely express themselves on the other side of the camera. I was impressed by the kids' willingness to participate, and appreciated their desire to be elsewhere so I could shoot them in action. 

Being entrusted with family photographs is such an honor. Wally, Allison, Owen, Joel, and Caitlin, thank you for your confidence in me. It was such a joy spending time with you!
