Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity.

However, I ask that you simply link back to my blog/website/facebook page instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them.
