Early morning summer portrait sessions always have pros (good light, beat the heat) and cons (sleepy, grumpy kids) but John and Nora’s family group was exceptional. What made them different, leaving us with such a warm, lasting impression?

The kids smiled when needed and had zero complaints, even though they were tired and didn’t really want to be there. The kids were totally well behaved as parents maintained calm on the sacred Temple grounds while waiting between poses.

The most impressive? This family was happy, enjoying lots of laughter together, and their close bond as a family was evident. What a joy…..and you can see it in these images captured during our time with them.

To Nora and John,

What a wonderful posterity you have! No doubt you are proud of your children and their families. Thank you for letting us photograph your family during your Nauvoo reunion. We have such fond memories of your session. Hoping you receive God’s richest blessings.

All the Best!

Tom and Jeanette
