The Griffis family just bought their forever home out in the sticks and couldn't be happier. This shoot was a celebration of their new space and yearly family photos rolled into one! We spent the day playing inside, traipsing all over their property, and having fun with umbrellas—forever prepared for the possibility of Oregon rain. Even Cooper, their sweet German Shepherd, got her shining moment, stealing the spotlight during our attempt at more traditional pics (which let's be real, I loved).

These images capture not just a family in their new home, but the authentic joy of putting down roots in a place that feels truly yours. Shoots like this one remind me how much I love helping families tell a piece of their story as they build memories together.
