The day couldn't have been more perfect. It was warm, their was occasional sunshine (a big win in Germany during the fall)... and this girl! She can light up a room with that smile and her beautiful blue eyes!
I feel so honored when people ask and trust me to document their families. It lights me up and gives me a little rush of adrenaline capturing family bonds and relationships, especially when they are as awesome as this family.

Less than a week old and absolutely beautiful. Welcome to the world little miss Finley. I had some very tender experiences while photographing this family; and I can say capturing new babes in the arms of their proud and loving parents never gets old.

For more depth and stories behind my imagery and sessions, definitely join me on instagram. It's my preferred venue for sharing my work and thoughts as of recently.

Life aspiration. To be as tightly knit as this family right here. I feel so blessed to work with and be surrounded by such amazing families and couples.

I'm always on the lookout for fun family outings around the Kaiserslautern area and the Barefoot Park or "Barfusspfad" in Bad Sobernheim definitely met all of those qualifications! Our kids loved climbing over the obstacle courses, walking through the muddy clay, trekking through the cold water, and basking in the general gloriousness of being shoe-free!
Growing up, playing outside barefoot was a common occurrence, so slipping off my shoes and skipping and shuffling over the varying textures of this trail felt like stepping into the past.

If you and your family like being outdoors and don't mind being barefoot, you'll love walking and documenting your family playing in this beautiful park.


Ticket's were $4 for adults and $2.50 for ages 3-17. We were on a bit of a schedule that day unfortunately, but otherwise could have easily spent the entire day there playing, exploring and eating goodies from the brat and ice cream stands.
If this looks like a place your family would enjoy, their website is below with more info.
