Cathy messaged me about my LAST mini session spot – because they’ve NEVER had family photos!

Do you know how many people have NEVER had family photos – TOO MANY!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to take your FIRST family photos!!

Lauren wanted some photos of her littles – she has a son in college – who wasn’t home for the weekend!

A mini session was PERFECT!

Their outfits – MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!

THOSE SHOTS – FAVORITES!!

Lauren – thank you SO much!!

I LOVE when Kelly messages me about booking a mini session for the COUSINS!!

That guy on the right – he REALLY didn’t like me!!

And that littlThis year was a little more difficult!

She was REALLY not happy!

And that little guy – wanted NOTHING to do with me!!

Usually a mini session is the perfect amount of time – this year they were not having it!

BUT – I do LOVE real photos – and these will be GREAT to recreate when they’re older!

THANK YOU so much!!

I LOVED Sierra’s family photos last year – I didn’t think it was possible to love any photos of them more – but I was wrong!

SERIOUSLY!!

SO GORGEOUS!!

Fall sessions – REAL fall sessions are the BEST for cuddly pictures!

LOOK AT THAT PEANUT!!

I MEAN – LOOK AT THOSE FACES!!

Sierra – you are SUCH A BEAUTIFUL soul! I am so blessed to call you a dear friend!

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

LITTLE GIRL – this one won’t take anyone telling her she’s too little!

That last shot – it might be my FAVORITE shot in a LONG TIME!! SO MANY WORDS! SO MANY EMOTIONS!!

A mom & her son. A bond like no other!

Adrianne – THANK YOU for asking me to spend an hour in the life of YOU & YOUR FAMILY!!

I hope you LOVE your photos as much as I do!

TWO years ago I met Adrianne when I took photos of her NEW baby girl! How has it been TWO YEARS AGO!!

His hair – reminds me so much of Enoch!

OH MY HEART!! I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

LET THEM BE LITTLE!

OH SWEET GIRL!!

STAY TUNED for the rest of their session!!

As promised – the rest of Matt & Renata’s session!

DID I TELL YOU THAT FALL IS MY FAVORITE!?

AND THIS PICTURE IS MY FAVORITE!!

This guy – he REALLY likes to be silly! He reminds me so much of my Enoch guy!

SEE – RIDICULOUSLY PHOTOGENIC!!

And that little hand squishing his momma’s face – MY FAVORITE!!

GORGEOUS!!

MORE OF THE SILLINESS!!

Matt & Renata – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!

Let’s get together SOON!!

I’ve been taking Renata & Matt’s photos for nearly TEN years!!

AND they might be some of the most photogenic people I know!

When it doubt – let them be little!

And let them be silly!

ALWAYS encourage the silliness!

SO SWEET!!

As you know – I tend to take “too many” photos so you’ll see the rest of their session tomorrow!!

I’ve been taking photos of Joy since she was a tween! TWEEN! I took her wedding photos and then the newborn photos of their baby girl – and then last year when she was ONE!

She messaged me in August and said she wanted to gift a newborn session to her friend – BEST GIFT EVER!!

I met with Kasey on a rainy Sunday afternoon – but the rain held off JUST enough for us!

THESE MOMENTS are my favorite!!

ELLA WHO?

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

The weather managed to calm down just enough to get a few shots outside!

SO SWEET!!

Newborns are ALWAYS happiest in the arms of momma!!

Kasey – I hope you LOVE your photos! Joy – THANK YOU!! I hope to see you BOTH again soon!!

I’ve been taking Autumn’s photos for the past 6 or 7 years! Their engagement – wedding – babies – family – birthday parties – ALL THE THINGS!!

This year – we met at their newly acquired property – which is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

LOOK AT THAT FACE!!

OH MY HEART!!

BASEBALL BROTHERS!!

And soon – a little sister will make her debut!!

You know what my FAVORITE thing about that picture is? Autumn’s fingertips barely brushing her little boy’s head. THAT MOMENT.

That little glance. THAT MOMENT!

Reaching for his momma’s hand. THAT MOMENT!!

That little baby girl at the edge of the frame! AN HOUR IN THE LIFE OF YOU!!

ISN’T HE DARLING!!

This little guy – he’s gonna be a baseball player when he grows up!

I MEAN – SERIOUSLY! LOOK AT HIM!!

Autumn & Ryan – thank you SO MUCH for asking me into your lives year after year!! I can’t WAIT to see you as a family of FIVE!!
