The smiles are almost always a little bigger at the end of the session!!

I LOVE THOSE ONES!!

Susan – thank you SO much for spending the evening with me!! I am SO happy we were finally able to schedule this session!!

Susan got a gift certificate for her family last year for Christmas and we were finally able to schedule in October!!

When was the last time you ALL had family photos together!?

I love those shots!!

That might be my favorite!!

Matt & Renata – thank you SO MUCH for making the trip down to see me!! I always LOVE hanging out with you!!

I’ve said it A LOT this year – but I’ve been photographing Renata & Matt for the past TEN years!!

Their son *A* reminds me SO MUCH of my Enoch. They’re the same age and have so many of the same mannerisms!

I LOVE these rocks – it was NOT the easiest place to get to – but they make it look SO easy!!

I LOVE THOSE!!! Such sweet moments!

I think every session with kids should end at the playground!!

We made our way to the playground – because those are some of my FAVORITE photos to take!!

As usual – the last photos in our session are usually my absolute FAVORITE photos!!

Angie – thank you so much for hanging out with me!! I can’t wait to see you again next year!!

I love seeing Angie & her family each year!! I can’t believe I’ve been photographing them for almost FIVE years!!

She is SO adorable!!

We had NO idea that he was going to attempt a swing!! But that little sister is stronger than she looks!!

We met at His Thousand Hills – it holds a special place in their lives!!

Remember – I LOVE reflections!! This was PERFECTION!!

Jeff & Sherry strive to place Jesus at the center of their lives & relationship – so this shot was SO BEAUTIFUL!

Jeff & Sherry wanted to REALLY get in the spirit for their Christmas cards this year – so Santa made a little visit!!

Jeff & Sherry – thank you SO MUCH for spending the evening with me! I had a GREAT time!!

Sherry messaged me hoping to set a date for pictures for her & her husband in the fall! She got the perfect date in mid-October!

Don’t forget that the two of you are still worth photographing!! Don’t forget that it all started with YOUR connection & love!!

When your kids are out of the house with families of their own – I think it’s even MORE important to focus on what’s keeping you together!!

BEAUTIFUL!!

You KNOW I love a great silhouette!!

Have fun together! Laugh together! Celebrate together!!

I LOVE THESE SHOTS!!!

Heather – thank you SO MUCH for waiting and hanging out with me!! I can’t WAIT to see you guys next time!!

Heather messaged me asking about scheduling a fall session! I was booked – completely and utterly booked. Several sessions a day. Sunrise sessions & evening sessions. Every single night was taken.

I told her who I recommended – but she said – WE WANT TO WAIT FOR YOU!!

I had a last minute cancellation and asked her if she wanted it – she did!!

I met Heather at the pool a few summers ago and we know lots of the same people. I was SO excited to get them in front of my lens!!

I LOVE THESE PHOTOS!!!

BUT – I had a last minute cancellation and asked her if she
