She is one of the happiest little girls I know!!

That curly hair!!

Angie & Tim – thank you SO MUCH for asking me into your lives over the past few years!!

I ALWAYS look

I’ve been taking Angie & Tim’s family photos for 4 years!!

We missed a maternity session while this beautiful baby was still brewing – but I did get to see her in all her squishy new-baby glory!!

He is SUCH a great big brother!!

GAH!!! SHE IS SO SQUISHY!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

I’ve got more squishy goodness to show you – TOMORROW!!

I LOVE that they wanted photos of their families together!!

The littlest guy was STILL not too fond of me OR this picture taking business – so we improvised!

BE STILL MY HEART!!

I WON (sort of) in the end!! Not really – but we’ll pretend I did!

THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE!!

What being a farmer’s daughter looks like! Muddy feet and pretty shoes!!

I LOVE that she was wearing fancy shoes and a pretty dress and riding in the back with the boys!!

Kristen & Gabrielle – THANK YOU SO MUCH for spending the evening with me! I had a GREAT time with you and your families!

Kristen & her family!!

Gabrielle & her family!!

Their littlest brother really wasn’t too sure about me and my camera!!

EVERYBODY!!!

I’ve got ONE MORE post to show you – and it might be my FAVORITE shots of the evening!

I took photos of Kristen’s kiddos with their cousins in the creek at the beginning of the summer – and was SO excited when they talked about scheduling family photos TOGETHER!!

You might remember that the beginning of July was VERY RAINY – so much so – we had to reschedule this session THREE times!!

Those will forever be my favorite moments!!

OH MY HEART!!

I LOVE those shots!!

I’ve got lots more to show you from their session!

This little guy needed some momma snuggles before attempting a BIG family photo!

This MIGHT be one of my FAVORITE shots of the night!

How did they do on the re-creation!?

THIS is how we do life together!!

THAT CAKE – it was SO DELICIOUS!!

THE JOY IN THAT SHOT!! THIS is how birthdays should ALWAYS be!!

Who’s ready to eat cake!?

That messy ponytail – I LOVE IT!!

PERFECTION!!

SO SWEET!!

Her excitement is SO contagious!!

They picked a bouquet for me to take home!! And this is one of my FAVORITE shots of the night!!

Erin & Steve – I truly LOVED spending the evening with your family!! I hope to see you again soon!

I ABSOLUTEY LOVE that one!! I would almost put a HUGE canvas of it on my own wall!!

CHILDHOOD PERFECTION!

Daddy changing their outfits – in the room their momma was photographed in before their wedding!!

Those little feet! Seemingly insignificant moments.

I saw this idea from a photographer I follow on IG and just HAD to try it!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

We had SO MUCH FUN with these photos!!

I got an email from Erin in June – asking if we could schedule family photos.

I photographed their wedding nearly 11 years ago and this would be the first time seeing them since!

Their little girls were SO excited to see me and talk to me and bring me home for a sleepover!!

I ADORE those shots!

ALWAYS let them be silly. Let them be little!

I’ve got SO MUCH more to show you!

You might remember Cait & Corey! I photographed their wedding in September!!

GORGEOUS!!

Isn’t this location SO DREAMY!?

One of my FAVORITE shots!!

Those shots – PERFECTION!!

Stay tuned – because Cait got IN the water for me!!
