You might remember Patrick & Kristi from this fall – the surprise wedding at their engagement party!

A little girl will be joining their family soon – and they asked me back into their lives to document this amazing time!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

GORGEOUS!!

I’ve never shot from that side of the hill – but I think I LOVE it!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

I ADORE that shot!!

Angie – thank you SO much for asking me to capture your beautiful family! I LOVE seeing you guys!!

I met Angie & her family when her little guy was just a LITTLE guy!

This is the 3rd time I’ve taken their photos – and I LOVE that they keep asking me back into their lives!

She is SO bright-eyed!!

THAT SMOOSH FACE!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

I had planned on taking them to “our” property outside of town – but ALL THE RAIN!!

So we met at the bike trail instead – and it’s changed! I was SO excited to see the new and improved trail!

REAL SMILES!!

In the midst of raising kids it’s easy to forget about how it all started!! So we made sure to focus on just the two of them for a little bit!!

Rachel & Joe – thank you SO MUCH for making the drive over to Mansfield!

I had a GREAT time hanging out with you guys!! Let’s do it again SOON!!

LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE!!

I just can’t deal with her sweetness!!

I ADORE THOSE SHOTS!!

MY FAVORITE SHOTS!!

This little guy – he’s QUITE the show stealer!!

Rachel – you’ve got ONE more blog post!!

The last time I saw Rachel and her family – they were a family of FOUR!

This guy!! He was so sweet and so chatty – my new best friend!

He’s FIVE!!! Only a month older than my Enoch guy!

Rachel & her family drove about an hour to meet me – hoping that the weather would hold off – after rescheduling once already!

GAH!!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

And then the truth comes out! How brothers & sisters really feel!!

That shot – these kiddos grow up WAY TOO FAST!!!

As usual – I took SO MANY pictures – so stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

Erica specifically requested some silhouette shots – and this spot happens to be my favorite!

Erica – thank you SO much for asking me to freeze these moments for you! I hope you LOVE your photos!!

Erica and I met through the YMCA playgroup! I had posted that I was walking in the mornings and anyone who wanted to join was welcome – she did!

I lose track of all time – but I think that was 4 years ago! Unless it was 5! Erica – do you remember?

She makes our cakes for all the events in our lives – and they are DELICIOUS!!

Last year we did photos in the early spring on a nice day – but this year we opted to wait for REAL spring – and I am SO GLAD WE DID!!

Those are my FAVORITE shots!!

LOOK AT THAT SMILE!!

SO SWEET!!

I ADORE THOSE SHOTS!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

I always make sure to get these shots – because you’ll forget they ever happened!!

GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!!

I don’t think I mentioned it – but Shalane and I bonded over our love of all things nerdy (and pop-culture-y) and our love for Jesus!

I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine. And he shall be my squishy!

Shalane & Brent – I AM SO OVERJOYED for you both! THANK YOU for asking me into your hearts and your home!!

LOVE!!!

I wear your granddad’s clothes. I look incredible.

THOSE CHEEKS!!
