When Time Stood Still: The Carlsons {Inland Empire Family Photography}

We were blessed with a beautiful evening when the Carlson Family joined me for their Mini-Session.

I spent time with each of the children (who aren’t children anymore!), getting to know them a bit and trying to capture glimpses of who they are in their images.  I love this part of my job – though it’s difficult to form any deep connections with people in the 25 minutes I have for Mini-Sessions, I just love taking a sneak peek at the beauty God has poured into each and every soul.

I think this frame grouping looks really nice with their skin tones; it would make a great set of portraits for the wall or a table/desk.

Adorable, three week-old baby Aurora was along for the shoot, and I could tell she’ll be doted on and very well-loved by the family around her.  What a precious gift!


What an incredible treasure God has given you in the lives of your family, Carlsons!  I look forward to showing you the rest of your images – thank you for entrusting the portrait memories of this special time to me!

Sometimes as I create with a family, I am drawn to meditate on how quickly my own children change – every day and every year that passes, each one is becoming more grown up, learning what it means to love one another, assuming more responsibility, maturing to be more like Christ.

I was thinking just these thoughts as I captured portraits for this sweet group of siblings.  These kids (though hardly kids anymore!) have changed and grown so much in the short years I’ve known them.  What a neat family, and what beautiful gifts the Lord has given them in each other!

The brothers told me about their latest electronics projects, including a homemade hologram!

Later the sisters giggled as they talked with one another…

What a precious time in all of your lives!

Tom & Shelley, thank you so much for the privilege of creating with your children.  Cherish these times, and look forward with hope to the bright future each of your children has in the Lord!

Can’t wait to show you the rest of your images…
