I love this family! I cannot believe that little *B* is 6 months old already!
OH MY WORD!
I just cannot get over her MANY expressions! She is such a happy baby!
I LOVE that outfit!
Jessica – thanks SO much for having me! I love seeing your sweet kids!
Hannah and I have been talking about her engagement and wedding pictures for quite some time! I’ve taken pictures for her friends and family – and her senior pictures when she graduated college. She is SO kind and sweet!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
It was FREEZING at our session. Hannah wrapped herself in a blanket anytime she could and was shivering most of the time. She did an AWESOME job of not letting it show on camera!
OH THOSE SHOTS! I LOVE THEM! I’m pretty sure I’ll have to get a print for the ARNOT MALL BRIDAL EXPO!
One of those for sure! I’m so drawn to black and white!
I love that last shot – so different from what I normally shoot – but I had to give it a try!
I think Hannah looks ESPECIALLY like Princess Lea in this one!
I am so happy for you guys and cannot WAIT to spend your wedding day with you!
I met with Desi on a VERY chilly Saturday morning in November!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
I LOVE when the wind works to our advantage!
Desi – thanks for braving the cold! I had a GREAT time!
I am SO behind on this blog – getting caught up slowly – but this was written a little over a month ago!
On October 28th – Fitzy officially turned a year and a half – 18 months. It’s crazy!
It’s gone SO fast overall and sometimes so slowly day by day. Looking through his month pictures – I can’t believe he was ever so tiny.
He is such a little toddler now – it’s hard to imagine that at one time he didn’t walk – didn’t babble – didn’t give kisses.
He loves farm animals. He can moo like a cow – bock bock like a chicken – cock a doo like a rooster – roar like a lion and dinosaur. He moves his head out when you ask him what an elephant says. He loves to read. He loves to cook and clean. He loves Barney and Fraggle Rock. He understands SO much but doesn’t say a whole lot of words. He babbles almost constantly – repeating himself quite a bit. He has said I LOVE YOU – 3 times – and only to my sister. He LOVES his grandpas and grandmas. He eats a TON and weighs 31 lbs. He is in 24 month to 3T clothing. He has one bottle at night about an hour before bed. I still rock him to sleep and sing Silent Night – every night. He hates socks. He loves to throw balls. He brings it up by his eye and looks at the ball and looks at you and then the ball again and aims – he’s a pretty good shot! He is beautiful and wonderful and such a miracle.
I love his little belly in that shot! I was kinda sad – it’s 18 months – that’s a big one – and I was only able to get pictures of him in his jammies – around the house in our horrible lighting. It’s been raining all day – so no handsome little man pictures today.
He LOVES his dadda!
I got him this little cow on a shopping trip. He dances and does a split. Within 30 seconds of having his chubby little fingers on him – he now ONLY does splits.
ROAR – like a lion!
I got this picture in the attic and planned on giving it to my friend Belinda. Fitzy took one look at it and has been carrying it around mooing. He is so cute about it – it’s his new favorite.
Fitzy – I love you SO much. You’ve changed our lives and our hearts. Happy half birthday baby boy!
Ronda and Lew came into our lives about 2 years ago – and we haven’t been the same. Just kidding. Not really.
I gave Ronda a family session for her birthday – LAST December – and she finally scheduled it. I don’t know what took her so long – they are obviously meant to be in front of the camera!
LOVE THOSE!
I need an old barn – in my yard – with different panels of colors! I would be set!
MY FAVORITE!
I had some ideas in my head for their session – but I KNEW we had to do this shot! It describes them PERFECTLY!
Thanks so much for being awesome – we love you guys!
I met Becky and her family two years ago when I took their pictures!
Last year I was booked solid – so I missed them. But this year we scheduled EARLY – in August. And then rescheduled a few more times. And FINALLY in October – we prayed the rain away and had a BEAUTIFUL session!
I’ve taken pictures at this spot in Corning A LOT. But I’ve never spotted this angle before! I LOVE it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots! I wanted them to both look at their parents – but little *E* turned around and it worked out even better than I hoped!
LOVE!
Thank you SO MUCH for being flexible and patient with finally fitting our session in! Can’t wait to see you next year!
Jenna and her family have been in front of my lens since *E* was a little guy!
I LOVE seeing them every year – sometimes twice!
We scheduled a session then I needed to reschedule it – then the leaves changed too quick – so we rescheduled again! I love when a reschedule works out SO PERFECTLY! We couldn’t have asked for a better day!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots! We had the sessions in my parents field! It was PERFECT!
I NEED to have a print of this on my wall! I LOVE little *S* – she is SO sweet!
LOOK AT THOSE COLORS! Seriously – perfect!
Jenna – it was SO great to see you guys! This has been my favorite session so far!
I put our Christmas tree up REALLY early – before Thanksgiving – I just had to!
LOOK AT THAT HAPPY FACE!
Fitzy is doing so awesome! He LOVES to play with his little kitchen! He loves to carry balls of yarn around and unroll them – much to my dismay! He carries around Jared’s striped shirt and says – daddy’s shirt! He points to himself and says – Fitzy’s shirt – but he says his name like – Itzy! SO CUTE!
He isn’t really running – just walking really fast. He LOVES cheese and marshmallows – the two words he says ALL DAY!
I cannot WAIT to experience Christmas with him!
For the month of December – we are doing a 25 days of kindness for Christmas!

I am SO excited to start this tradition and waive gifts for Jared and I (which we normally do anyway) in place of sharing the LOVE and JOY of Jesus during the month of December!
I can’t wait to see the excitement on Fitzy’s face as he gets older and can really understand the season of giving and love!
