Salem Family Photographer - time flies

I know I say this all the time, but time really does fly. I started photographing these two “kids” when they were barely out of diapers and all of a sudden, they’re both actual adults! They were kind enough to do one last session with their Mama (my dear friend, Michiko) last year.

Salem Maternity Photographer - beautiful family maternity session! LGBTQIA+

I’ve been photographing this couple since they were engaged and I have loved watching their family grow. The are now a family of four (I’m just way behind on blogging) and their two kids are so darn cute! Anyway, we got some beautiful photos at Deepwood Museum & Gardens (formerly Deepwood Estate) during golden hour.

Salem Family Portrait Photographer - fall mini session with family of seven!

In case you missed it, Amanda and Keegan did an engagement session with me a few weeks prior to this family session (click HERE to view that blog post). Sure, they could have booked one mini session for both family and engagement photos, but 1. They’d get very few of each….and 2. Can you imagine trying to do romantic engagement photos with FIVE kids running around?! HA! Anyway, I had a good time photographing this blended family, just months before they made it official (i.e. when Mom and Dad got married).
