Stephanie messaged me on FACEBOOK – and I’ve been doing this thing recently – if I don’t know you – I message you back and ask if I do!

Turns out – she’s friends with my Aunt LuAnn and wanted to schedule a photo session!

Since it’s rained off & on & more on than off for the past 3 months – we weren’t sure if the weather would stay clear!

It stopped raining when we started shooting! PERFECTION!

They’ve NEVER had family pictures – that’s ALWAYS hard for me to wrap my head around!

STUNNING!!

SUCH A GORGEOUS SPOT!!

On the way to our last location – the rain & the wind started!

Do you know many – or ANY 12 year old boys that would smile and NOT be miserable during a photo session like this guy!? I don’t!

Turns out Stephanie graduated high school with my brother & her husband helped replace the roof on my parent’s house! It’s such a small world sometimes!

THANK YOU so much for asking me to take your FIRST family photos! I hope it’s not your last!
