Thanksgiving was FULL of family sessions! Did you know that I LOVE extended family sessions!?

The Friday after Thanksgiving – I met with the *B* family!

OH NO!! A CHUBBY BABY!! I had to remind myself that OTHER people were in the room and needed to be photographed too!!

ADORABLE!!

SO MUCH FUN!!

We didn’t think my brother would make it home for the holidays this year – but he did! His wife stayed in Ohio and worked but he brought the kiddos out for Thanksgiving!

On Wednesday night – Thanksgiving Eve – Jared & Fitzy were in Cleveland for a BASKETBALL game!! They stayed at the Westin and had a GREAT time!

BUT – my controlling momma heart was kind of FREAKING OUT a little!! I wasn’t able to really breathe until they pulled in the driveway! WHEW!!

They got in a little after 2 on Thanksgiving and grabbed a plate of food and then opened Christmas presents!!

COUSINS!!!

Enoch 5 – Fitzgerald (who is asking to change his name to just Fitzy) 7 – Rowyn 7 (soon to be 8) – Jack 3 (so close to 4) – Judah 6 – QUITE THE CREW!

That’s only the 23rd gun to add to their collection!!

Rowyn wants to be an ARTIST!! BRING ON THE PAINTS & CANVAS!!

Judah – have you been noticing his faces!! They are the best!

Jack calls me Daniel – and Samm loves it! It IS pretty adorable!

SO MUCH CHRISTMAS!!

My sister is OBSESSED with the poop emoji – so my dad got her a special gift – PASS THE POOP!!

And every year we have to line the kiddos up and get the NEW picture – they are growing TOO FAST!!

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving with our families!!

Can I tell you something about this guy? It was COLD that day – not terribly cold but cold enough!

He never complained. He almost always had that giant smile on his face!!

I asked him to show me his teeth – he wasn’t wrong! I just meant SMILE with your teeth!

BROTHERS!!

Patti – THANK YOU for coming to Mansfield and braving the cold!!

I hope to see you all again soon!!

Patti messaged me hoping for a last minute session with her sweet family!

Turns out – I’ve taken their photos before – her son & his family!

That biggest little guy – I photographed him when he was turning ONE!

THAT SMILE!!

That littlest little guy – he’s BRAND NEW!!

My niece is only 3 months older than Fitzy – so I’ve never really known what it’s like to be an aunt without my own kids!

But – watching my sister with Fitzy – it’s THE BEST!! DO YOU SEE HER GIANT SMILE!!

I love those closed eyes!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session – and an outfit change!!

I met Mary Love when I started working at Phoenix! She’s a massage therapist and one of the kindest people I know!

AND SHE’S HAVING A BABY – a this point she’s HAD the baby!! She was BORN to be a momma!!

ISN’T SHE LOVELY!!

I was pretty sure we wouldn’t find a GORGEOUS spot to take photos – that still had leaves – but I was WRONG!

Do you SEE THOSE SMILES! I am so excited about this baby!! They are too!!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

MARY LOVE – I am SO VERY HAPPY for you!!

You are absolutely GLOWING!! I cannot WAIT to meet this sweet baby!!

This is the THIRD year I’ve taken photos for Becca & Macy & their family!

If you haven’t noticed – it’s been a VERY VERY rainy season! The day we scheduled photos – after rearranging the farm chores – it called for LOTS of rain. It rained all morning – BUT – miraculously – in the early afternoon – it stopped!!

We still made sure to get some in the barn – because that’s their life!

COUSINS – I LOVED growing up with cousins!!

The last time I saw this sweetie – she was BRAND NEW!!

Growing up on a farm – they will have the BEST childhood!!

Aren’t they so sweet!!

SWEET SWET SISTERS!!

THANK YOU for asking me to come photograph your ever-growing family! See you in a few months to capture all THREE of your babies!!
