MOMMA!!! FLIP ME UPSIDE-DOWN!!!

Every single time.

I am perfectly FINE not having a daughter – even though I really really want one – and then I take pictures of little girls & their mommas – and I really really want one again!!

COWS!!!!

Amanda told me that the truck holds a special place in her husband’s heart. His FIRST truck. Which makes these pictures all the more meaningful!!

OH MY HEART!! I LOVE THAT ONE!!

His eyes closed – my FAVORITE!!!

The sun was setting but I was still hoping dad would be able to join us for a few shots!!

ALWAYS LET THEM BE SILLY!!

HE MADE IT!!! JUST IN TIME!!

THAT SKY!!! Those MIGHT be my favorite silhouette shots EVER!!!

Amanda & Rob – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your family! I’m so happy we waited just a little bit longer for a few shots of the whole family!!!

I can’t WAIT to get you ALL the photos from your session!!!

DID YOU KNOW that most people think that the pictures they see on this blog are ALL the photos I’ll be giving them!?

NOT TRUE!!! The ones on the blog are just my FAVORITE ones that I HAD to show you!!!

You get about 150 to 300 photos at the end of our session – sometimes a little more – but NEVER a little less!!

I LOVE photographing you year after year – but I also LOVE having NEW families in front of my lens!

This family isn’t new to me – but they are new to being photographed by me!

PUMPKINS!!!

Did you know that little kids NEED to be silly!?

And if you let them be silly FIRST – they usually will give you the smiles and take the bunny ears away!

I ADORE that shot! Seemingly insignificant moments.

ADORABLE!!!

CAN YOU BALANCE A PUMPKIN ON YOUR HEAD!?

Amanda & her husband are farmers. Her hubbie had some last minute work to do and wasn’t able to join us for the photos – such is the farming life right!?

This guy – he reminds me so much of Enoch sometimes! They are good buddies at school!!

ABSOLUTELY THE SWEETEST!!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!!

I left out my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE photos – so that Amanda would have some surprises to show people herself!!

Jackie & Dane were waiting until THE birthday to find out if their baby was a boy or a girl!

I am very envious of the ability to WAIT!!

When I messaged her to check in – I was SO excited to hear they welcomed a little girl!!

It’s SO tired in here!!

She looks JUST like her daddy!!

THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE!!

THOSE CHEEKS!!

The sweetest little squish!!

I could have taken photos of her ALL DAY!

WAITING ON BABY

Last year I photographed Noreen’s wedding. Her best friend messaged me and said – I want to have you stay a little longer at the wedding – so she got Noreen another hour as a wedding gift!

Noreen thanked Jessica with a gift certificate! THE BEST GIFT EVER!! I messaged Jessica to set up her session – but she was really hoping to use it in October – when she was nearing her due date with her little girl! I extended the expiration date a few months and we set a date!

Her boys play football and finding a date that worked for all of us was a little tough – but we found one! And it started to rain!!! NO!!!!!!!!

So – we found a tree and prayed and waited for the rain to stop!

IT DID!!!

I LOVE THAT SQUISHY FACE!!!

ABSOLUTLEY GORGEOUS!!!

BROTHERS!!! Waiting on a baby SISTER!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!

JESSICA!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for hanging out on a chilly October morning!!! I cannot WAIT to meet your baby girl!!

Sometimes you forget that YOU have a story – one that started before the babies were born! I’m trying to remember to get a photo of the two of you at your session!!

SO CUTE!!

When dad is a volunteer fire fighter – you get to have your pictures taken ON the firetruck!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

He had to show me his cars one last time before I left!

HIS FAVORITE – the planes!!!

Norleen – it was SO GOOD to see you!! I will definitely bring the boys over this summer to play in the creek!!

I first met Norleen in 2011 when they scheduled their session from the NCA auction!! I’ve photographed them every other year since then I think!

This guy – I last saw him when he was just a chubby baby! He came running down the hallway saying DANIELLE!! DANIELLE!! DANIELLE!!

BUT – when he got to the end and saw me – he stopped and started to back up. WRONG DANIELLE!! His aunt is Danielle and he was really confused – why isn’t MY Danielle here!?

But I won him over pretty quick talking about cars!!

AN AWESOME CREEK!! RIGHT ACROSS THEIR YARD!! YES PLEASE!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

ADORABLE!!

STAY TUNED for the rest of their session!

When the sun starts setting earlier – I need to be with you beautiful people before Jared gets out of work.

Jared’s parents live right next door & while they are still here and not traveling the winter away – they keep the boys for us.

She LOVES the silhouette shots and had been asking to fit them in somewhere – but my late fall schedule was completely packed!!

Unfortunately – someone had to cancel because their son was pretty sick and needed to recuperate.

So I scheduled a silhouette session for them!

She had asked if I would bring the boys along – I had planned to surprise them anyway!!

It’s a BIRD!! It’s a PLANE!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

OHHH!! THAT ONE TOO!!

He wasn’t scolding him – but it sure looked like he was!!

I LOVE THAT ONE TOO!!

THAT ONE!!!!

SWOON!!!

They said – can you get a picture of us fighting!?

BROTHERS!!!

THANK YOU for watching those sweet boys while I take photos of beautiful people!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

This property will be their new home!!

I LOVE photographing you & your families in places that mean something to you!!

Evelyn was hoping there would be a spot for silhouette photos! We found one!!

They are NOT triplets. Not even twins among them! They’re two years apart!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

We walked down their LONG driveway to find the PERFECT tree!!

And I realized that at the top of the road was another PERFECT silhouette spot!!

I ADORE THOSE!!

THANK YOU so much for asking me to photograph your sweet family again!! I cannot WAIT until next time!!
