I met *K* and her family through our MOPS group! She is so sweet and kind and has some MEGA cute kiddos!

Her family welcomed a little boy in early October and she asked me to capture this moment in time for them!

HOW CUTE ARE THEY!?!?!?

And that chair! I’m having major chair envy lately!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing two older sisters with a little brother – melts my heart and reminds of me and my little sister and brother!

OH MY WORD!

These shots are TOO cute!

We had to get some shots of the little guy!

I love those last shots!

*K* – I had such a great time with you guys! I hope you love your pictures as much as I do!

KT and I met in 2005 – I think. We immediately connected and became really close friends. In 2007 – she lived with us for a semester while attending college at Mansfield. In early 2010 – things got crazy. It doesn’t matter what happened – but we stopped talking. We were both very hurt and angry and confused. I missed her. I missed out on her pregnancy and birth of *O*. I missed her being there while I was pregnant with Fitzy. I had photographed her so many times – just for fun – her engagement to *C* – her wedding. I was sad. We had been such close friends and then nothing but hurt and anger.

I don’t remember exactly how we started talking again. I had some albums of her that I didn’t use anymore and wanted to make sure they were in her hands and not just in my closet collecting dust. I emailed her and asked if she wanted them. We talked about how much we missed our friendship. We said we were sorry. We admitted our wrongs and asked for forgiveness.

We finally met at a park over the summer with our sweet children. Jared and I stayed with them in September and they came down to see us last month.

I’m SO excited to have this friendship back – and equally excited to post these photos!

She is SO cute! Fitzy loves her and they get along so well!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those ones too! I want that top picture on MY wall!

KT – I LOVE YOU. I am so thankful that we got over ourselves and reconnected.

I’m so excited you were finally in front of my camera again!

At the end of September – we spent the day with our friend Aszur and her family!

She took a few shots of us on their property – thank you Aszur – I LOVE them!

I am so in love with our little family! It’s been a difficult year – and we are so looking forward to moving on and embracing what life has in store for us – even if it’s more rough roads (which seems to be the norm for us).

I love when clients get gift certificates for their family!

Holly gave Megan a gift certificate for her little guy *S* and we finally figured out a time for pictures!

Normally – 3 month olds are the hardest for me to photograph – but this little guy was WONDERFUL!

OH MY HEART!

My parents have a BEAUTIFUL property! This little patch of trees worked perfectly for our session!

Megan – it was GREAT to meet you and cuddle your little guy!

Holly – thanks SO much for giving the gift of photography!

Seventeen. I cannot believe that Fitzy’s been here for 17 months!

I brought Fitzy along on a session – which I don’t like to do – but Jared was along in no time to pick him up!

OH MY HEART! I cannot even deal with the cuteness!

I LOVE that series – so sweet!

One more shot – on my way home from the session with the *B* family that night!

BEAUTIFUL!

Dillan entered the *B* family into the BEAUTIFUL contest earlier this year – and his submission won them a free session!

CRAZY CUTE KIDDOS!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

Dillan – thanks SO much for nominating this BEAUTIFUL family!

Michelle & Phil – you guys are AWESOME!

I very rarely do sessions in my backyard – but I wanted to make sure I fit these cute sisters in – and it worked out GREAT!

My BFF – Johna – got me the white baby carriage for my birthday last year – she knows the way to my heart!

CUTIES!

OH MY HEART – I cannot get over this carriage! The only downfall is that I can’t get it into my car – so you’ll have to come to my backyard if you want it in your next session!

SO SWEET!

*K* – thank you SO much for bringing your girls for a sweet session! I hope to see you again!

Bridget is a fellow photographer and holds an EXTRA special place in my heart – she captured the birth of our sweet Fitzy!

We’ve been planning this session for MONTHS! We FINALLY got it in – and I’m glad we waited – it was BEAUTIFUL!

Bridget – I know you are like me and you HATE being in front of the camera – but I truly LOVE these shots of your family!

OH MY WORD – that shot of your three kiddos – LOVE IT!

I prefer the top shot – just because it’s the way I shoot – but I added the cropped version – just in case!

Sweet *E* – such a happy girl!

Bridget – thank you SO much for all you’ve captured for us! I hold the photos you took for us dear to my heart and I hope you treasure these ones too!

I’ve photographed *E* since she was in her momma’s belly! I cannot believe that a year has FLOWN by already!

I had a wedding the day of her party – so I had to miss it – so sad. We met in Troy on a Sunday morning – bright and early!

Isn’t she beautiful!

*E* – it’s been so great watching you grow! I hope your move brings new adventures! When you do come home for a visit – try and convince your parents to get some pictures!

I love Missy & Cody! They have become GREAT friends – one of those connections through struggling to have babies!

Missy scheduled a session for her in-law family – and it was a BEAUTIFUL night!

SUCH CUTIES!

Thank you guys for such a great night!
