I look forward to our sessions every year!!

This year – Jan asked if we could mostly do a lifestyle session at the farm!! YES!!! ALWAYS!!

THAT SWEET LITTLE GUY!!!!

I have a similar photo of his sister in that same crib!! SO SWEET!

Getting ready for farm chores!!

This isn’t a good start for him – sleeping on the job!!

This might be my FAVORITE picture to depict how I want to photograph you and your families!

It wasn’t posed. She was just doing what she does. And like many mommas – doing an AMAZING job multi-tasking ALL the things!

THESE are the moments!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! That sweet little face!

What does a mom do when she needs BOTH hands free on the farm with a newborn!? THIS!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

JAN!!! Thank you SO MUCH for asking me to follow you around on the farm!!

This was one of my favorite sessions EVER!!!

 

 

You know this already but I HIGHLY prefer these shots to the “looking at me” shots!

AHHHH!!

EVERY GIRL NEEDS A SISTER!!

I was SO happy the sun came out for some shadows!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

I love that one too!! The sweet moment in the chaos of the background.

Sharlin messaged me after she got the photos and said – I DIDN’T EVEN SEE THIS HAPPENING! THANK YOU!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

FAVORITE!!!!!

I HAD to include that one!! Because family sessions might LOOK seamless – but I assure – they are not!!

SHARLIN!!! Thank you SO MUCH for spending the evening with me!! I LOVE OUR SESSIONS!!!

 

 

I can’t even deal with this guy!!

THE BEST BROTHERS!!

The REAL smiles are my favorite!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

These are always my favorite!

Miranda had said that *R* wanted to bring his BATMAN costume to the session!?

I said – YES!!!! ABSOLUTELY!

AND I AM SO GLAD THAT SHE DID!! LOOK AT THAT SHOT!

EVERY LITTLE BOY needs a BATMAN silhouette shot!!

Miranda & Brooks – I LOVE our yearly sessions!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

 

 

 

I’ve been photographing Megan and her guys for over TEN YEARS!!

Thankfully she was willing to move her session to Sunday so I could do the wedding on Saturday – which happened to be their own anniversary so she was VERY fond of that date!

OH THAT FACE!!!

I’m SO happy that Megan loves the candid shots – because they’re my FAVORITE!! Also – her boys are movers and shakers – so it’s about the ONLY way to photograph them!

UNLESS you scoop them up!

FAVORITE!!

BE STILL MY HEART!!!

That might be my favorite shot from our session!!

THAT CHEESE FACE!!! IT’ S THE BEST!!

OH WAIT!! I love that one too!!

AHHHHHH!!!

MEGAN!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for being willing to move our session!! Thank you SO much for asking me into your lives year after year!!!

 

 

NIKKI!!! I had such a great time trekking all over the farm with you guys!! I hope these pictures are everything you were hoping for!

Nikki asked if we could set up a family session at their favorite place – THE FARM!!! YES!!! ALWAYS!!

THESE ARE MY FAVORITE PHOTOS!!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

I took SO MANY photos of this family on the farm – so stay tuned!!

 

Heleen and her family were submitted by here sister for my BEAUTIFUL contest in March of 2021!!

We set up a Monday evening in September and it was an absolutely GORGEOUS evening!!

I hope you can FEEL the happiness in these photos!!

I LOVE this sheet with the shadows!!! You might have figured out that it’s my new favorite thing!

GORGEOUS!!

The definition of childhood – a big stick as a sword!!

PURE PERFECTION!!

Heleen – I LOVED hanging out and chatting about life and Jesus with you!! I can’t WAIT till next time!

 

I ALWAYS look forward to this session each fall!!

Autumn changed the location at the last minute and I am SO glad she did!!

I LOVE REFLECTIONS!!

Silhouettes show SO MUCH emotion – don’t you think!?

We tried to catch the last few minutes of sunlight before it disappeared over the mountain – but it moved quicker than I thought it would!

I DO LOVE THAT ONE THOUGH!!

AND it made for PERFECT silhouettes!!

AUTUMN!!! This is my favorite session of ours yet!!! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!!!!

WHERE WILL WE GO NEXT YEAR!?

THE BUBBLES!!!

I LOVE a good veil shot!!

REAL smiles are the BEST smiles!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

A little photographer in the making!!

She makes ALL the faces but I LOVE this little face the best!!

THE BEST WEDDING CAKE TOPPER EVER!!!

ALWAYS make time to sneak off together and grab a few photos before the end of the night!

I try to keep myself OUT of the photos – but this one called for it!!

Danielle & Martin – I absolutely LOVED spending your wedding day with you!!

I hope to work with you guys again soon!!!

 

I met Danielle & Martin through the best referral source out there – YOUR WORD!!

Kate Blackwell (a former bride) works with Martin’s sister Amanda and that’s how she got my name!

PERFECT SHOT!!

You know that details are my FAVORITE!! And these details – are my ABSOLUTE favorite!!!

Danielle REALLY wanted a picture of her daughter in HER wedding dress!! It only lasted for a quick moment – but we got it!!

BUT we did get some GREAT ones of V in her own dress!!

She is SO MUCH FUN!!

A little bit of LEGO – I DO!!

These scenes are my favorite – just capturing what happens to be in front of me!!

Isn’t she SO GORGEOUS!?

Perfect moments!!

I loved the shadows in this spot!!

Those last few moments before the BIG moment!!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

HUSBAND & WIFE!!!

I ADORE those shots!!! The bubbles – their sweet kiddos looking on!! PERFECT!

OH MY HEART!! Those bubbles and the crinkled nose!! A crinkled nose smile is a REAL smile!!!!

I’ll show you the rest of their wedding tomorrow!!!!
