I took Chris & Katie’s wedding photos nearly 10 years ago!!

I saw them when their little guy was a newborn and then off and on over the years.

I was SO happy when she asked about Christmas photos!!

MY FAVORITE!!

THE SWEETEST!!

I LOVE that shot from 2 years ago! I HAD to show you the comparison!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

Those shots are SO SWEET!!

At some point – you’ll forget how the weight of their body in your arms feels.

You’ll forget that they fit right in the space underneath your neck.

You’ll forget that they were ever that tiny!

YOU NEED THE PHOTOS!!

KATIE & CHRIS!! Thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the morning with you!!

I can’t WAIT till next time!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!!!

WE TRIED ALL THE THINGS!!!

He was NOT HAVING ANY OF IT!!

Allie got her aunt’s family a GIFT CERTIFICATE – JUST BECAUSE.

Just because she wanted them to have pictures TODAY of this moment in time.

That is the BEST reason to schedule photos!!

Luckily – we were able to use the TROY SALE BARN for their photos because it was a CHILLY November day!

The little guy was NOT a fan of me!! Which seemed to be a recurring theme this fall!!

So – we let him take a break and took some photos of the girls!

He had a moment – which is the perfect moment to photograph!!

THE GUYS!!

Grandma & Grandpa will ALL their grandbabies!!

OOOOH!!! THE SQUISH!!

Nikki – I am SO happy that it worked out to grab pictures of your family!!

Allie – THANK YOU for such a thoughtful gift!!!

I met Jackie when I took their maternity photos – 2 years ago!!

We got together on a GORGEOUS November afternoon – BUT – her little girl wanted NOTHING to do with me.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

I usually say – I WILL WIN – and I usually win!! But this girl – she was a tough one to crack!

I will STILL get the photos and they will STILL be beautiful and they will definitely capture the emotions!

REALLY REALLY not happy about this girl with the camera!!

I LOVE THOSE!!!

We thought maybe a trip to the playground would lift her spirits – make it a little better!?

She still wanted me FAR away – but I LOVE THIS SHOT SO MUCH!!

AHHH!!! THOSE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES!!

I was a stealthy ninja – and got a couple of smiles!?

MAYBE going to Gramma’s house will help!?

I didn’t get the smiles. BUT – she did let down her guard enough that she forgot I was there!

She spilled the bird feed and picked it up.

I love the crack in the sidewalk – how she’s squatting – her little bandaged finger – the concentration!

EVERYTHING!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!

AND MAYBE EVEN BETTER IN BLACK & WHITE!?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING THE MOST!!!

Everyday moments that seem insignificant – but they are what our days are made of.

Jackie & Dane – thank you SO MUCH for trying ALL the things to make your little one happy for photos!!

I hope the photos we got speak to you – even though they aren’t what you may have envisioned!!

Hopefully it goes better next time!!!
