WELCOME HOME

Filed under: babes,family,just because,kiddos,military,my town,newsworthy,portraits — admin at 1:14 pm on Tuesday, August 20, 2013

I’ve photographed several families for years – every fall or every summer. I love them. All of them.

Nicole & Dustin are clients that I’ve seen at least once every three months (with a few exceptions) for the last three years. Nicole has become a GREAT friend! I can’t explain how blessed we are to have them in our lives!

When *G* was born in February – Dustin was unable to be there (he was serving our country overseas) and I was SO sad when my horrible cold (or whatever it was) didn’t go away in time to be there. Thankfully – Bridget Reed (who did our birth photography with Fitzgerald) was able to be there! Check out their beautiful birth session.

When Nicole asked me about coming to the airport to photograph Dustin’s homecoming – we discovered it would most likely be while I was on vacation. SERIOUSLY!? Bridget was put back on stand by – just in case. By the way – Bridget – I am SO thankful that you and I have a great relationship when it comes to our clients and our businesses in general. Thank you so much for that!

Surprisingly – I was able to be there!

THAT WAS DADDY’S PLANE! THAT WAS DADDY’S PLANE!

Waiting. Just a few seconds more.

FINALLY!

That picture on top – makes me cry – EVERY TIME!

Thank you daddy. For everything.

LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Thank you Dustin for your sacrifice. Thank you both for your friendship. Thank you.

KAITLYN & KYLE – JUST BECAUSE

I took family photos AND senior photos for Kaitlyn a few years ago – TIME FLIES!

I was so excited when she asked me to take some photos with her boyfriend!

We met at Ives Run on an absolutely GORGEOUS night in July!

LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Kaitlyn – thank you again! It was great seeing you and meeting Kyle!

HEIDI & KEITH – 7.6.2013

Heidi contacted me after looking at my website and blog! I don’t get many website wedding referrals – so I was excited!

Sigh – I LOVE the details!

It was a HOT – HOT – crazy HOT day!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

SWEETEST!

GORGEOUS!

Heidi was listening to her dad’s speech – so touching!

I can’t deal with a momma dancing with her baby boy – not anymore. Makes me cry!

Heidi & Keith – I had a GREAT time photographing your wedding! Thank you SO much for asking me to capture your love!

If you follow me on INSTAGRAM – I use #farmlife when we visit my parents!

My mom and I thought these might be monarchs – but we were wrong!

Fitzy took a very slow and very safe tractor ride!

Look at that little smile – I just love him SO much!

My mom told Fitzy to hold on to Pa as tight as he could. He listened!

We love spending time on the farm with my parents – Fitzy will be a great farm helper in a few years!
