Dear Friends,

A lot has changed this past year.  The list is long and all-too-familiar as we say goodbye to 2020.  But one thing that hasn't changed is the love of family and friends, and the love of traditions that come with this time of year, even if those traditions must be slightly altered this holiday season.  

As we all look for connections and reasons to be hopeful and happy, more than ever, I believe in the power of a captured moment.  Because the way I figure, how else will we remember that amid a lot of not-so-great moments in 2020, there were many moments of happiness, joy, and love?

Enter this sweet family.   I had an opportunity to hang out with them a few weeks ago and capture some of their family traditions, along with a lot of love and more than a few laughs.

So much love.  So much joy. 

We also took time for some outdoor family portraits.

Like many of us, they will stay close to home this holiday season, but their home will be filled with love and joy.  Because love has not been canceled this year. 

Thank you to all of the families that invited me into their homes (even as I wore a mask during the entire photo session!) this past year.  I look forward to working with more great families in the new year. 

To everyone, may your hearts and homes be filled with love, joy, and hope this season.  And may the new year be brighter for all.

~ Kate
