A warm October morning at Beckley Creek Park made the perfect setting for the Wolz family. The kids brought plenty of personality, a few dinosaur impressions, and lots of laughter. Simple, natural moments like these are the ones that stay with me.

One year later, back by the river where they went on an early date. Portraits, a beer, a stubborn kite, and a lot of laughter — photos that feel like them.

I spent a bright sunny afternoon at Broad Run Park in Louisville taking family portraits with the Orie family.
