Jillian G.

Ah the whirlwind season of Graduation. If your a photographer who does grad sessions, you know.

June should be spelt Gune

Jilli bean, I have known this nugget since she was around 5.

So graduation photos for this lady was slightly surreal, in a how the hell is she adulting already way.

She’s wicked smart, artistic, funny, and kind. A true beauty in all the ways.

Luckily Jillian and I are a great match on the creative side of things. This shoot was beautiful and brilliant.

As you can see she’s a natural.





Boyfriend Beckett was a gem at going with the flow. - Thanks for your patience Mr. B




A quick little drop in by some of her besties, was such a blast. What a fun group!

One Christmas Night In The Kitchen

Documenting a night over Christmas, in the kitchen.

As with most homes my kitchen is the heart of most of the action. This was one of many evenings spent here, but the only one that I decided to pull out my camera. For shame, I know.

The evening like many others, was well spent, laughing, cooking, eating, clearly some drinking, and playing games. Christmas tunes playing on Spotify..

Confession- I’m relentless with the Christmas music, when the opportunity of repetitive indulgence becomes available.

It is not very often that every one is able to get together under the same roof, at the same time. And at the time of these photos not all family had arrived. Lucky for mom, she’d had enough of the shenanigans and wandered off to bed earlier in the evening.

I am so very grateful that this holiday season was one of those rare occurrences where our Reesor side of the clan gathering, was not missing a single soul.


In the series below and ones to follow are in no particular order, my dad Dennis, my youngest son Daxon, his girlfriend Shylo, husband Brad, sister Tonya. Niece and nephew Jayce & Jaryn, and last but not least, Dany the elf.




Till next year.

This sweet old girl had a photo session with her family the other day. But we all know who the star of the show really was. She probably doesn’t have many more Christmas’s left and so we made sure she got some special treatment.


I am a animal lover, and this old girl had my heart.



Such a beauty

BK & The girls

This man has been one of our very good friends for years. It is almost surreal that I have known him before these two beauties ever graced this earth. So when he asked to have some photos done with himself and his girls, my response was hell yes!

Here are a few favs from our session.




Thanks for gracing my make shift living room studio BK & crew
