I’ve been photographing this family for over ELEVEN years!! ELEVEN!!

This little guy!!

She was NOT too sure about me!!

They are some of my FAVORITE people to photograph!

It goes SO fast! I remember when Kristi said – hey – we really want a baby! So I added her to my list of people to pray for.

I feel like this little girl was JUST born! But – she’s TWO already!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE shot from their session!!

I LOVE those ones too!!

THOSE PIGTAILS!!!

Kristi & Patrick – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to capture your moments every year!!

We nearly stepped on this little guy!!

She LOVED this little puddle!!

I will NEVER pick the photo when you’re all looking at the camera – THESE are my favorite ones!!

I LOVE reflections!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

Carrie & Tim – thanks so much for spending the evening with me!!

I missed seeing Carrie and her family last year for photos – so I was SO excited when she said – how about this year!? We love the playground at Hills Creek!

YES! YES YES!

Seriously – if you’re stuck on what to DO for family photos – the playground is ALWAYS a win!!

Hey – these are supposed to be CANDID shots!!

Sweet sisters!!

It was the PERFECT evening for a photo session!! I’ve got more to show you!

I’ve been taking photos for Lauren and Dan for … 10 years!? Is that right!?

Every year for the past several years – we’ve taken a close-up of each kiddo for Lauren to blow up on their wall – in black & white!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

That little guy!!

Lauren & Dan – thank you SO MUCH for asking me into your lives over the past TEN years!!!

Last year – Scott & Terri were the BEAUTIFUL winners! Well – last year was a CRAZY year for all of us – but Scott & Terri had even extra stress thrown in there – so their session slipped under the cracks.

BUT – we were FINALLY able to schedule it!

Scott and I grew up together in church. We were pretty close friends in later high school (if I remember right) and then went our separate ways like people do!

It was AWESOME to be able to gift his family with a photo session.

Before our session – they said – “we’re not picture people.”

“We’re not picture people.”

I love when people tell me they’re not “picture people.”

Because you ARE picture people.

NOT. PICTURE. PEOPLE.

Now you know – Scott & Terri ARE indeed picture people!!

I loved hanging out with you for the evening! I hope to see you again soon!!!
