After I took photos of Sierra & Jose’s family – I realized that we NEED to have friend photos at their fire-pit!
After a mis-communication and a later start to the night than we thought – we will have to hope for those photos to happen this fall at some point!
BUT – I HAD to get some shots of the kiddos on the trampoline!
I am SO THANKFUL that our kids get to grow up with each other!!
KISSES!!
I love the smile on that big sister’s face!!
FAVORITE!!
SMILES!!
FALL!? ALREADY!? SAY IT AIN’T SO!!
IT’S SO TIRED IN HERE!!
SWEET BABY!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to come capture this BEAUTIFUL time in your lives! I hope to see you again next year!!
I took Emily’s wedding photos nearly TEN years ago!!
I met up with her family last fall for a session and she emailed me this summer about photographing their family again – this time with a new baby!!
SAFE IN THE ARMS OF LOVE!!
It was an early morning – a BRIGHT morning – but I loved this shot anyway!
I LOVE THAT SHOT!!
THOSE TEENY FEET!!
As soon as I clicked that one – I KNEW it was a keeper!!
GAH!!! MY FAVORITE SHOT!!
OH GOODNESS!! I LOVE those shots too!!
Isn’t he the sweetest!?
Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!
COUSINS!!
THAT SWEET FACE!!! The windswept hair – I CANNOT DEAL!!
ALSO – that GORGEOUS momma – how do you look THIS FIERCE roasting hot dogs on the fire with your kiddos!?
Sierra – YOU ARE WELCOME!!! I had to even out the GORGEOUSNESS from earlier!!
Back to our regularly scheduled programming! Continue with the gorgeous!
ANSD ALWAYS EAT THE MARSHMALLOW FIRST!!
I CAN’T. I’M DONE. SO MUCH LOVE!!
SIERRA & JOSE – THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! A MILLION TIMES!!
I’ve been taking photos for Sierra and her family for the past FIVE years! HOW CAN THAT BE!!
She has become a dearest friend and our kids are like siblings!!
She doesn’t mind being in front of the camera AT ALL!!
GORGEOUS!!
Silly faces – mad faces – SAD FACES – happy faces!!
Jose & Sierra gifted his family with a photo session last year – and we were JUST able to fit it in!
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE – BUY YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS – THEY WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!
When was the last time you had your WHOLE family together – and got the photographic evidence to prove it!?
SISTER SISTER SISTER – just kidding – mom is in the middle – but you would NEVER guess!
Stay tuned for the rest of their session – HOT DOGS & MARSHMALLOWS!!
Amy makes leather jewelry. And I happen to LOVE leather jewelry. And she happened to need some pictures taken!! WIN WIN!!
And these kiddos NEEDED a creek to play in!!
THIS SPOT!!! THAT SWEET BOY!! THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS JOB!!
SWEET SISTERS!!
EVERY GIRL NEEDS A SISTER!
THAT SMILE!!! Those brothers – the sweetest!
The rain held off until just about THIS moment – but we were done – it was PERFECTION!!
Every child should experience the creek – and find a hiding spot!
Amy – thank you SO much for meeting up with me!! I LOVED spending time with you and your family!!
Older cousins are there to help put your shoes on the RIGHT feet!
SO SWEET!!!
Those boys – brothers – they’ll be taller than their momma before you know it!
Photo-bombed again!! BUT LOOK AT THAT SILHOUETTE!!!
Let’s try for a few more shots with Grandma!!
SISTERS!!
BROTHERS!!
They LOVE this campground – they’re here EVERY weekend in the summer!!
Older cousins are also there to show you what arrows are for!!
Michaelia – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the evening with your family!!
Michaelia and her boys!! Travis & my brother were best friends in high school – it’s slightly surreal photographing his family now!
That little guy – he reminds me of my little guy – CANNOT sit still! But aren’t the little guys supposed to MOVE MOVE MOVE!?
I ADORE THOSE SHOTS!!
SO CUTE!!!
WE got photo=bombed a few times – this time by a golf cart!!
SISTERS!!
DARLING!! I LOVE THAT SHOT!
COUSINS!!!
This little thing – she can put her own shoes on! They might be on the wrong feet – but they are ON!!
ADORABLE!!
THOSE are the shots!!
ONE MORE POST!!
Michaelia messaged me late spring about a family session in August – an extended family session!!
I’ve been taking Michaelia & Travis’s photos for TEN years – starting with their wedding!!
When I first pulled up – this little sweetie had her sunglasses on and I KNEW I had to get a few shots of that!!
TOO COOL!!
They really really wanted to showcase the lake for their session – and thankfully the sun cooperated with us for a few shots – ESPECIALLY this sister shot!!
This session was a surprise for Grandma! She REALLY REALLY wanted a photo of her grandchildren ALL together. With her. So that was our FIRST MUST-HAVE photo!
Sad faces … silly faces … mad faces … happy faces – nearly works every time!!
HUGGING PHOTOS!! I certainly LOVE these photos more than the standing in a spot and smiling for the camera photos! And I ALWAYS will!
JUST THE BOYS!!
BROTHERS!!! Those boys – they are some of our prayer list babies!!
I LOVE being asked to pray for babies to happen. And I LOVE it even more when I get to photograph them!!
That little brother – he doesn’t look SO sure about being in such an intense hug!!
THAT GUY – what a sweetie!!
Maybe we can get some of ALL the cousins – maybe …
AND EVERYONE!!!
She’s warming up – little by little!! A SMILE!!
That might be the ONLY shot I got of the two of them together – because toddlers are ON THE MOVE!!
OH WAIT – there’s a hug – I think!
OH GOODNESS!!! I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!
Stay tuned – they’ve got two more blog posts!!
When I met Missy for her little guy’s 6 month photos – she told me she needed to recreate a photo that she had of her older son when he was little.
And we promptly forgot during the session. So we planned a playdate and I took the shot.
Fast forward 7 years – neither of us remembered to do one at Grace’s session – until her mom mentioned it!
BUT – now that Missy is more family than new friend – it wasn’t a problem.
She stopped by one morning and we got the shot – plus a few more!!
Also – she crawls now. She just woke up and started crawling one day – and she won’t stop moving!!
THAT’S THE SHOT!!
Or even that one!!
LOOK AT THAT SMILE!!
Isn’t she just LOVELY!!!
