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!

 

A quick shot of me with that dreamy hubby of mine!!

It’s been a LONG time since I took photos of my kids with my parents!!

BASEBALL in the backyard!!

I can’t deal with how GIANT this guy is! He’s only TEN and he’s THIS tall already!?

Hey Enoch – can you just make a normal face!? No!? Okay – weirdness will do too!

SNOWBALL!!

Time for a bigfoot hunt!!

I need to make sure to bring my camera with me on adventures more often!

 

 

This little guy is ADORABLE!!

THREE!! He is THREE!!

Enoch and this little sweetie go to school together!!

Her little brother REALLY wanted to be the only one photographed!!

ADORABLE!!

SQUISHY FACES!!!

I’ve got LOTS more to show you!!

 

 

 

Jan REALLY wanted a picture with her piggies – so we made sure to take a few!!

I LOVE those piggy snouts!!

Silhouette shots might be my favorite!!

She is SO happy to be walking!!

Jan & Nick – thank you SO much for asking me back into your lives over the years!!

I loved her little high-stepping!!

She really is just the cutest!!

ONE MORE blog post for this family!!

I LOVE photographing your wedding and your pregnancy and your children as they grow – it’s one of my greatest joys in life!!

She is the CUTEST!!

Stay tuned – because I’ve got lots more to show you!!

Last year – Jan gave her mom a gift certificate for Christmas! LAST YEAR!!

We had been trying to schedule but couldn’t find a date that worked for everyone.

I took Jan & Nick’s wedding photos 5 years ago & their maternity photos in late August – I was secretly hoping they would wait till after their little girl arrived to schedule their extended family session!!

LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE!!

Just the girls!! This sweet little baby & I share a name – how cool is that!?

OH MY HEART!! I just LOVE that picture!

You’ll see more of these lovely faces next fall – when I shoot their wedding!!

I had no intention of creating such a moody silhouette – but that’s what happened!! I LOVE IT!!

Another moody silhouette!!

I LOVE extended family sessions!!

THAT HAIR!! OH – she is just so sweet!!

THIS IS US!!

She is SO happy about being an aunt!!

When I grabbed this crib – grandma said – OH!! I have an old quilt – can we use that!? ALWAYS!!

THE SWEETEST!!

I ADORE those last few shots! Jan – Caitlyn – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your WHOLE family!

I can’t wait to see you all next fall!!

MOMMA!!! FLIP ME UPSIDE-DOWN!!!

Every single time.

I am perfectly FINE not having a daughter – even though I really really want one – and then I take pictures of little girls & their mommas – and I really really want one again!!

COWS!!!!

Amanda told me that the truck holds a special place in her husband’s heart. His FIRST truck. Which makes these pictures all the more meaningful!!

OH MY HEART!! I LOVE THAT ONE!!

His eyes closed – my FAVORITE!!!

The sun was setting but I was still hoping dad would be able to join us for a few shots!!

ALWAYS LET THEM BE SILLY!!

HE MADE IT!!! JUST IN TIME!!

THAT SKY!!! Those MIGHT be my favorite silhouette shots EVER!!!

Amanda & Rob – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your family! I’m so happy we waited just a little bit longer for a few shots of the whole family!!!

I can’t WAIT to get you ALL the photos from your session!!!

DID YOU KNOW that most people think that the pictures they see on this blog are ALL the photos I’ll be giving them!?

NOT TRUE!!! The ones on the blog are just my FAVORITE ones that I HAD to show you!!!

You get about 150 to 300 photos at the end of our session – sometimes a little more – but NEVER a little less!!
