Nate takes some AMAZING photos! He took our fall family photos this year and assists me at wedding every now and then!
He needed some updated photos of himself – so we spent the morning in Corning!
He’s a DREAM to photograph!!
We met at a few places in Mansfield too!!
NATE!! Thank you so much for hanging out with me! I can’t WAIT to work with you this year!
I’m NEVER ready for the winter. And I was most certainly NOT ready for winter this year – but it comes nonetheless.
I LOVE our red leaves outside our front door. It’s my FAVORITE thing about here my house is!!
Linda grabbed a last minute opening before the “season” ended!
That is one of my most FAVORITE photos EVER!!!
That one wasn’t posed. It wasn’t planned. It just happened!! AND IT’S MY FAVORITE!!
LINDA!!! Thank you so much for spending the evening with me!!
This sweet little face!!
AND THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE!!
Watching this family grow has been SUCH A JOY!!
I ADORE that series of photos! They collect those nuts with her and her grandparents and I’m SO happy we were able to capture some of those cherished moments!
The wind. The smiles. The hugs. The love. The eyelashes. FAVORITE!!!
And you KNOW I love a good silhouette!!
PERFECTION!!
They were married at this EXACT spot!!
And now they’re here with their sweet girls they prayed so hard for!
FAVORITE!!!
Jessica & Chris – I LOVED spending the evening with you guys!
I can’t WAIT to see you next year!!
You guys – I put a call out for submissions and you all sent me the most BEAUTIFUL things about the people you love!!!
It’s ALWAYS hard – but this year was SO HARD!!
Kellyrae submitted her best friend Nicky – “the amount of love they have for family and friends is out of this world.”
Nicky submitted her best friend Kellyrae – “I don’t know where I would be without them and I love them dearly so I want to see something good happen for them!”
SO – the winners of 2022 BEAUTIFUL are
Kellyrae & her family AND Nicky & her family!!
I can’t say this enough – MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU!!
Thank you SO MUCH for your submissions this year!!!
I ALWAYS look forward to our yearly session at the creek!!
THAT FACE!!!
THAT TREE IS MY FAVORITE!!
THAT SWEET FACE!!
ALWAYS my favorite shots to get of these kiddos with their dad!
Those are some NEW favorite shots!
HEATHER & BEN!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to capture your family EVERY YEAR!!!
I’ve been taking photos of Sierra and her family for OVER 7 years!!!
We met through MOPS and PLAYGROUP at the YMCA but also knew lots of different mutual people through lots of different connections.
I spoke about my friendship with Missy and Sierra wanted in on something like that.
We both made an effort to connect with each other and get together.
And if you’ve followed me on social media at all – you now know that Sierra and her family are part of our people.
TRYING to be serious is HARD!
She might be one of my FAVORITE people to photograph!!
I LOVE THAT SHOT!!
Jose & Sierra – THANK YOU for your friendship. THANK YOU for asking me to photography your lives!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
I brought my raptor hands to our session because I just KNEW that this guy would love them as much as I do!!
I VERY much look forward to our session each year!!!
Adrianne truly understands the importance of letting kids be kids while I photograph them!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! This horse head did NOT disappoint!!!
These photos make me laugh SO HARD!!!
CAN YOU HEAR HIS LAUGH!?
PERFECTION!!!
OH MY HEART!!!
Such a good big brother!!
Adrianne – like I said – I LOVE spending an hour in the life of you and your kiddos each fall!!
I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for FIVE years!!
I had a last minute opening and Brooke was lucky enough to grab it!
It was NOT supposed to rain – but the rain was closing in quick!
The weather DID make for perfect moody photos though!!
We ALMOST made it without getting rained on!!
BROOKE!! Thank you so much for spending a quick – wet evening with me! Next year – we should do the creek again!!
Casey and I scheduled and then rescheduled and then rescheduled again – BUT – we managed to get together on a BEAUTIFUL October evening!
I love that you can SEE the joy and even hear the laughter in those last few shots!
A different take on the silhouette!!!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!
Casey!! I loved spending the evening with you guys! I can’t WAIT to see you next time!!
