Kristen + Patrick

Yesss, my first couple family photo session since I’ve come back from retirement! It was so much fun to photograph Kristen and Patrick. I’ve known Kristen for a very long time, but this was my first time meeting Patrick, and they complement each other so well. I had a great time hanging out in their home, listening to records, making dinner, and having lots of laughs together to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. They introduced me to compostable packaging spices (yesss), new tv shows, and a variety of amazing humorous fake band names that they keep a list of in case they ever decide to break into the industry. Until then, Patrick’s a gene therapy scientist and I learned about how certain genetic eye problems can be improved, and Kristen works in politics where she’s truly passionate about making a difference locally and nationally. We discovered that we all had slightly different versions of the same shoes, and it was just fun. Thank you for having me into your home and helping to be a part of your anniversary, guys!

This child! Oh man, this child. His name is Wyatt and he’s currently two years old. Last year, he hated hats. This year, he’s moved on from his disdain for hats and instead is now laser focused on his love for slides and Locopops. By and large, he prefers an extremely clean existence and isn’t very fond of grass or bugs. He possesses an undeniable skill for striking unprompted senior picture poses even though he’s not yet in preschool. He can name all the names of the animals on the carousel, and pretends to cry in a corner if you ask him to take pictures by some flowers. His incredible hair is easily afflicted with static cling. He runs very quickly when excited and wants to climb all the things he can’t reach. When he can’t climb them, he’ll ask you to climb them instead so he can watch. He likes to pretend that he’s very serious sometimes but he can’t keep up the charade for that long. He goes extremely slowly down slides and is thrilled nonetheless. He loves swings and is unsure about sand. He is one of my favorite clients.
