		<title>Petrie Family Portraits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Natalia contacted me through a reference from a friend. She had been unhappy with the pictures from her daughters daycare and wanted some real personal ones.

		<title>Garner Family Portraits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230;I photographed Melissa and Rob&#8217;s wedding 5 years ago (which was pretty awesome, by the way) and they came back to me wanting family pictures.

		<title>Papa&#8217;s Hats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure why but I haven&#8217;t done any personal posts. I think I want to change that. Sometimes I come up with ideas for shoots and want to try them out. So those are the personal posts I will share here because they almost always include my family somehow. My daughter has grown up [...]]]></description>
