Michaelia messaged me late spring about a family session in August – an extended family session!!

I’ve been taking Michaelia & Travis’s photos for TEN years – starting with their wedding!!

When I first pulled up – this little sweetie had her sunglasses on and I KNEW I had to get a few shots of that!!

TOO COOL!!

They really really wanted to showcase the lake for their session – and thankfully the sun cooperated with us for a few shots – ESPECIALLY this sister shot!!

This session was a surprise for Grandma! She REALLY REALLY wanted a photo of her grandchildren ALL together. With her. So that was our FIRST MUST-HAVE photo!

Sad faces … silly faces … mad faces … happy faces – nearly works every time!!

HUGGING PHOTOS!! I certainly LOVE these photos more than the standing in a spot and smiling for the camera photos! And I ALWAYS will!

JUST THE BOYS!!

BROTHERS!!! Those boys – they are some of our prayer list babies!!

I LOVE being asked to pray for babies to happen. And I LOVE it even more when I get to photograph them!!

That little brother – he doesn’t look SO sure about being in such an intense hug!!

THAT GUY – what a sweetie!!

Maybe we can get some of ALL the cousins – maybe …

AND EVERYONE!!!

She’s warming up – little by little!! A SMILE!!

That might be the ONLY shot I got of the two of them together – because toddlers are ON THE MOVE!!

OH WAIT – there’s a hug – I think!

OH GOODNESS!!! I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

Stay tuned – they’ve got two more blog posts!!
