Jill and Mike │Ottawa Kansas Photographer

Tonight I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Jill and Mike's family. Not only are they a beautiful and loving family, but they are hanging in there through a tough health battle. Mike was recently blessed with a liver transplant and still has many obstacles to overcome. From reading a journal that Jill has been keeping online for friends and family, I get the sense that their faith is still strong and they are fighting the good fight.

Here is a little teaser from their session tonight. Of course there are so many I still want to share, but it's getting late and my computer was being very disobedient.


Family shoots are actually quite laid back, especially with young kids involved. I want everyone to just let out their breath from the day and relax. We played and roamed around the berry farm. Here are some of my favorites so far.

Thanks Jill for contacting me and Mike for enduring the heat for your photos! You are an inspiration to me and many others, I am sure. This is just a taste! Hang in there and I'll get a few more up tomorrow.
