The Spangler Family over the Years

One of the greatest gifts of being a family photographer is watching relationships grow—not just within families, but between families and the people who photograph them. Between 2021 and 2025, we’ve had the absolute joy of photographing the same incredible family at least six times, and somewhere along the way, they became so much more than clients, they became friends.

From our very first session together, there was an ease and trust that you can’t manufacture. Each time we met, it felt less like a photoshoot and more like catching up, laughing, sharing stories, watching the girls grow taller, braver, and more confident right before our eyes. Those moments are the heartbeat of what we do at Lashes and Lenses Photography.

Over the years, we’ve captured milestone moments and quiet in‑between ones. We’ve documented changing seasons, growing personalities, and the beautiful, imperfect connections that make a family uniquely theirs. Looking back through their galleries feels like flipping through a living scrapbook—proof that time really does move fast, but photographs have the power to slow it down. To capture a moment in time and put it in a time capsule.

What makes families like this so special to us is the trust they place in our vision, year after year. They show up as themselves, knowing they don’t need to perform or pose perfectly. They allow us into their story, and that is something we never take lightly.

This family represents everything we love about long‑term photography relationships: consistency, connection, and genuine care. We treasure them deeply and are endlessly grateful that they continue to choose Lashes and Lenses to document their lives and their special vacation memories.

To our returning families—thank you. You remind us why we do what we do, and why photographs matter so much. We can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes you, and we’re honored to be there, camera in hand, when it does.
