I’ve known Johna for 14 years! She walked into Phoenix Rehab looking for a job & we clicked like long-lost sisters!!

She is one of the most passionate & big-hearted people I will ever know!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

THAT ONE TOO!! SO MUCH LOVE!

GAH!! Her momma heart!!

This girl – I remember getting the text after she was born. She’s here & she’s a redhead!!

This guy & my E – they are two peas in a pod!

We had a little ladybug join our session!!

OH MY HEART!! The cheek squish!!

I said – okay guys – I want you to look at each other now!

Matt just kept looking at me & the girls could NOT hold it together!

REAL GENUINE SMILES!! THE BEST!!

It might have been late October – but the leaves right here were BEAUTIFUL!

The PERFECT fall backdrop!!

The sweetest little faces!!

That little leg hug!

Those colors – those leaves – THOSE PEOPLE!!

BEAUTIFUL SOULS!!

Matt & Johna – I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!

This family has been in front of my camera for the last EIGHT years too!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

She could NOT stop laughing!!

A different take on the silhouette shot!!

Those might be my FAVORITE shots from our session!!

THAT FACE!!

A REAL SMILE!!

LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

LOVE!!

Sherry – thank you SO MUCH for coming up to the farm this year!!

I can’t BELIEVE how old these kids are getting!!

I’ve been taking photos of Arica & her family since her oldest was in the womb!!

EIGHT YEARS!!

We had scheduled our session for the beginning of October but the weather was not agreeing with us!

We had to wait until the end of the month – when ALL the leaves were OFF the trees!!

BUT – look at those leaves ALL over the ground!!

Can you take a picture of me doing my dance poses!?

Another dance pose!!

SO MUCH FUN!!

THAT TREE!!!

We explored the creek in their backyard – because even in October – I am up for creek exploring!!

LOVE!!

SO SERIOUS!!

Arica – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me into your lives every year!!

I CANNOT WAIT to get together this summer for creek exploring!!

 

Heather messaged me on FACEBOOK asking if I had any October openings – I had TWO left!!

BUT – she needed to reschedule her session because her hubby had to work. It ended up raining on the original date we scheduled – so it worked out!

I had someone cancel on a Saturday evening – which is a PRIME spot – so I asked if she wanted it.

It was a REALLY cloudy day & they were hoping to go to the Halloween parade so we made it a little earlier than I normally would.

We both watched the radar & moved the time of our session about 3 times.

I’m SO thankful for the ability to be flexible in my schedule & for clients who are also flexible!

When I met Heather’s MIL – I knew I recognized her! But I couldn’t quite place it!

Then it hit me – she works at the NCA booth at the Troy Fair! We’ve peeled peaches together!

THIS GUY – I asked him to show me a silly face. He said – how about my MONSTER FACE!!

There it is again!

SO ADORABLE!!

He’s three. A very serious three.

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

SERIOUSLY – the cutest!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

This guy – he was SUCH a sweet old soul. He reminded me SO much of Fitzy!

Heather – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your family! An extra thank you for being so flexible!!

I hope to see you guys again soon!

I asked if he wanted a photo with his niece – DO YOU SEE HIS EYES!!

ADORABLE!!

It’s good to know that ALL siblings act like this!!

I ALMOST forgot to grab a few shots of Grandpa and his girl!!

Courtney & Dave – THANK YOU for organizing this & asking me to spend the morning with you!!

I hope to see you all again SOON!!

I met Courtney last year when I took her anniversary photos!!

I met HER WHOLE family last fall for a session! This fall – I got to meet Dave’s WHOLE family!

We met at 8:30 on a late October Saturday morning – BUT it was a LOVELY late October morning!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

PERFECTION!!

Did you know where we were!? Mt. Pisgah State Park is such a BEAUTIFUL place!! The leaves were GORGEOUS!!

Don’t worry – there’s more!! Make sure to tune in tomorrow!!

PERFECTION!!

Could there be a MORE PERFECT fall photo!?

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

I couldn’t decide between color & black & white with that shot – so I’m showing you both!! I LOVE THAT ONE SO MUCH!!

This girl – she reminds me so much of my Enoch!

Sharlin – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to spend the evening with your family!!

I hope to see you all again!!

I met Sharlin through FACEBOOK & IG – because she makes signs & other crafty craft creations!!

She made some custom signs for my dear friends last Christmas & I’ve ordered a few others here & there!!
