There are some people who come into your life and just make it better. ❤️

The ones who make you feel seen, heard, and loved. The ones who bring a sense of calm to your nervous system simply by being around them. The ones who remind you how beautiful genuine friendship can be.

Meet my sweet friend Dana and her amazing family!

At the end of August, we headed to the beach for their family session, and let me tell you... it was EVERYTHING we both dreamed it would be! The beautiful light, the beach, the love, and all those little in-between moments. Just perfection!

Somewhere along the way, I also earned the title of Auntie Re to her two kiddos, and that is a title I absolutely LOVE having!

Dana, I'm so thankful life brought us together. Your friendship is one of those gifts I will never take for granted. Thank you for being one of my people and for trusting me to capture these beautiful memories of your family.

Some people just feel like sunshine, and this family is definitely that for me.

Next up on my sneak peek list… this beautiful family!

Over the last couple of years, I've had the opportunity to get to know Brooklyn through dance, so when her mom, Emily, reached out to book a family session, I was SO excited!

And let me tell you, Friday evening could not have been more PERFECT! The weather was beautiful, the fall colors were showing off, and that golden light we got toward the end of their session?! TO. DIE. FOR.

Seriously, THIS is why I love fall family sessions so much!

Emily, thank you for trusting me to capture these memories for your family!

It's been a busy couple of days, which means I have LOTS of sneak peeks to share! 🍂📸

First up… RUBY! ❤️

There is just something about senior photos in the fall! The beautiful colors, the golden light, and all those cozy fall vibes make for the perfect backdrop!

Ruby was absolutely adorable during her session, and I am loving how her personality shines through in her photos!

And the best part? We're not done yet! We'll be getting together again this winter for round two of her senior portraits! ❄️

Today’s Senior Sunday spotlight is AILSA!

I absolutely loved getting to capture this beautiful girl for her senior year. There’s just something so special about senior sessions — getting to freeze this season of life right before everything starts changing and the next big adventure begins.

Ailsa, I hope you have the BEST senior year and soak up every single moment. You have so many exciting things ahead of you!

Here are just a few of my favorites from her session.

The Preston Family ❤️

I think this makes YEAR NINE with this beautiful family. Nine years. How is that even possible?!

I have been photographing them since Heather was pregnant with Quinn, and somewhere along the way, they stopped feeling like clients and simply became people I absolutely adore.

Every single year, we get together for their family photos. In fact, they book their session a YEAR in advance — so there is never even a question of whether I’ll get to see them again. It’s just always on the calendar, and I genuinely look forward to it every single year.

I’ve had the privilege of watching Quinn grow from that tiny newborn into this beautiful, funny, sweet girl with SO much personality. And year after year, I get to document not only how much she has changed, but this family and the love they have for one another.

Nine years of photos. Nine years of watching their family grow and change. Nine years of hugs, laughs, catching up and creating another little piece of their story.

Heather, Alec & Quinn — you guys are beyond special to me. ❤️ Thank you for continuing to trust me with your family year after year. I hope you know how much I love you guys and how grateful I am that somewhere along the way, photography brought you into my life.

I can't wait to post more from this amazing session and figure out what image gets to be put in my window :)

XOXO
Marie

This girl gets to see all her amazing images today and I can not wait to show her!

( who can tell this photo was taken right after we got POURED on and I had to use my reflector as rain shelter to keep all of us dry)

Just a girl and her dog :)
