Dani asked about a creek session for her kiddos. She told me that she wanted photos of them just BEING KIDS in the creek.

She was waiting for her husband to come to our session while I took the kids down to the creek and took what she told me very literally.

They most certainly got IN the water!!

I MAY have encouraged the muckiness – because it photographs so well!!

They got a “little” wet!!

You can still get family photos when the kids are soaking wet!!!

I love looking at things with a different perspective!!

Thankfully – my favorite creek isn’t far from THE sunflower fields!!

Dani!!! Thank you SO much for spending the evening with me!! I can’t WAIT to photograph your family again!

THE RED HAIR!!!! I LOVE RED HAIR!!!

SO SWEET!!

The last time I photographed them was in a field – not with sunflowers – but a field nonetheless!! For their engagement – which I think is over TEN years ago!?

GORGEOUS!! Jess was really hoping to get in on the sunflower field sessions!! Thankfully we found a time that worked for both of us!

Jess – thank you SO MUCH for bringing your sweet family out for sunflower photos!!

I hope it’s not another 10 years before you’re in front of my lens again!!

 

 

SISTERS!!! Sisters in the sunflowers – PERFECTION!!

Meghan! Thank you so much for bringing your girls to the SUNFLOWERS!! I hope to see you guys again soon!

Linda brought her family to the sunflower field – because she’s ALWAYS wanted sunflower field photos!!

I LOVE that so many of you came to get sunflower photos this summer!!

 

Jan was REALLY wanting maternity photos and when she saw the SUNFLOWER sessions – she set one up!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!

OH MY WORD!!

Again – the black & white BEGGED to exist for this one!! She is SO photogenic!!

Jan has since had their baby boy and I’ve been back to photograph them at their farm – I can’t WAIT for you to see ALL those photos!!

I love photographing this family each year – it’s such a joy and honor!!

 

SUNFLOWER sessions brought me several new clients this year!! Kelsey and her family were among them!

Her little girl wasn’t too sure about me at first – but she eventually warmed up – a little. Sorta.

I love that one – grumpy-faced and all!!

I love those shots!!

She FINALLY gave me a few smiles!!

Kelsey!! Thank you SO MUCH for hanging out with me in the SUNFLOWERS!! I hope to see you again soon!!

 

Ashley messaged me on FB hoping that I had an opening left because SUNFLOWER photos were her DREAM!!

SUNFLOWER SILHOUETTE!? THE BEST!!

Ashley – I hope these were the sunflower photos of your DREAMS! And I hope I see you again soon!!

 

Maternity photos in a SUNFLOWER FIELD!? YES PLEASE!!!

I know Jessica mostly because of IG but I think she was in college as I was graduating!?

Either way – I was SO excited to get her gorgeous family in front of my camera!!

THE SWEETEST!!

I really don’t think you should be black & whiting sunflower photos – but these shots seemed to ask for it!!

I love that one!!

They have since welcomed their baby boy into their family and I can’t WAIT to get them back in front of my camera!!

 

Antonella (which by the way I LOVE her name) brought her daughter and her SIL to the sunflowers for a GIRLS session!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

THE SWEETEST!!

 

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

MAKE SURE TO GET PICTURES WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE!! BRING THEM TO THE SUNFLOWER FIELD!!

AND ALSO REMEMBER – we all bloom in our own time!

Antonella – thank you SO MUCH for hanging out with me in the sunflowers!! I can’t wait to see you guys next time!

 

THE FRECKLES!!!

I love that Crystal asks me to photograph her sweet boys! I love their bond!

THE BEST SHOT!!

Crystal!!! I hope to see you again this summer in the sunflowers!
