AND IT SNOWED!!

PERFECTION!!

AND SNOWED SOME MORE!!! I ADORE THAT SHOT!!

ALMOST DONE! Those boys were TROOPERS!!

THAT one might be my FAVORITE!!

I had visions of Stephanie and her hubby tucked in the snow-covered trees – making eyes at each other – all cuddled up.

BUT – those boys were DONE and SCREAMING in the background. Which they will ALWAYS remember when they look back on these!

BEAUTIFUL!!

Happier and warmer!!

I am usually ON TOP of scheduling our own family photos – but this year – any day without rain was reserved for a client!

In October – I texted Megan and said – WHAT DO YOU HAVE OPEN!? Knowing full well that it might be NOTHING because October is THE busiest time of the year for photographers!

BUT – we found a date that worked for us AND her AND my in-laws.

BUT – it rained. These photos are IN the rain – but Megan is AWESOME – so we got two good shots!

We rescheduled our own family photos for one week later – HOPING & PRAYING for NO rain!

At this point in the year – with ALL the rain – that’s about the best you can hope for – just NO rain!!

OH MY HEART!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY!?

I ADORE THAT ONE!!

SUCH HANDSOME BOYS!!

THOSE GUYS!! I thought for sure I would be a girl mom – but those boys are my life!!

And I’m pretty positive I won’t be able to hold him like that much longer!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

That family shot on the left!! PERFECTION!!

The boy that saw me. The boy that pursued me. The boy that asked me to share this amazing life with him.

This PERFECTLY describes our family!!

MEGAN!!! Thank you so much dear friend!

WELCOMING BABY *G*

I was anxiously waiting for news from Mary about her little bundle! He arrived right before Thanksgiving!!

Courtney’s mom asked me to take pictures of their WHOLE family over Thanksgiving! She saw the pictures of Courtney & Dave and decided she NEEDED some of her own!

Courtney & Dave – he said – didn’t we JUST do this!?

And the baby! When you’re the ONLY baby in the family – you get ALL the attention!

THE WHOLE FAMILY!!

JUST THE GUYS!!

JUST THE GIRLS!!

Babies have MAGICAL powers – especially when it comes to grandparents!!

Krissy messaged me in the beginning of November hoping I might be able to photograph her daughter and her boyfriend over Thanksgiving!

I knew I would be at my parents – but I also knew I HAD to come back to Mansfield for this session!!

It was COLD. It was RAINY. But – do you see those smiles!? It didn’t matter!!

We went in their barn for a little break from the rain!

GORGEOUS!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Emily & her sister – Grace. When I came into their lives – they were kiddos – LITTLE kiddos! Emily & her momma!!

SO ROMANTIC!!

Stay tuned TOMORROW for the REST of their session!!
