I LOVE Stephanie and her family!

We did bridal sessions and her wedding! Her maternity session too!

They’ve lived out of state – so this was the first chance I got to meet little *G*!

BE STILL MY HEART!

AWESOME! Little guys are usually hard to keep still – but that’s why it’s fun!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots! Golden hour for sure!!

The power of a praying wife …

I brought along the quilt from their maternity session – just because!

And sometimes – the best shots aren’t even in focus!

Stephanie & Zack – I love you guys! Thank you SO much for asking me to capture your moments!

I love photographing this family!

This is my favorite session so far with this family! It’s a long post – I couldn’t pick a favorite!

DARLING!

Oh. My. Heart. I cannot stand the cuteness.

That sky is very real. And very gorgeous!

Oh – and Fitzy tagged along! He’s too much!

PERFECTION!

Arica & Nate – thanks for dealing with the crazy weather and a photo bombing Fitzy! I just LOVED this session! See you SOON!

In early October – my friend Missy and I took our boys apple picking!

Isn’t he a sweetie!

And this guy – he’s a darling.

And that guy – he’s a doll! Thanks for coming along Missy – we had a GREAT day!

Our friend – and youth pastor – Mara asked me to take the kids on a God sighting walk – find beauty in your surroundings. Find beauty in the unusual.

I had to bring the boys with me – LOOK AT THOSE FACES!

It’s been years – YEARS – since I took pictures of anything other than my kiddos or clients. It. Was. Awesome.

COMPASSION IS THE ONLY ANSWER. A little gem we found. And I need this reminder. Multiple times a day!

Look for the beauty – all you need to do is open your eyes!

My sweetest boys.

Look at him!

That face – that sweet smile. There are days I look at him and have to remind myself that he’s three – not ten. He’s so smart – he has a phenomenal memory. He wants to help – with everything. He’s strong willed and stubborn. He’s dramatic and loud. He’s my sweet boy.

And this guy – a doll. He is starting to show a temper and a strong will. He is walking more than not. He loves to see his brother first thing in the morning. He’s chatting up a storm. He’s sweet and cuddly. He loves high fives! He’s my happy guy.

Brothers – I love watching their bond grow!

This is the 3rd time I’ve met with the *F* family for their annual pictures! I can’t describe the feelings of being YOUR photographer. It’s awesome. It’s honoring. I really love it.

I loved meeting up with you guys! I probably won’t even recognize your boys next year!

I took Holly’s wedding pictures in 2008 and have been taking pictures of their little boy for the past several years!

I was SO happy for her when she told me they were expecting again! TWINS!

They are only about a month younger than Enoch!

ADORABLE!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!!!

And of course – my kiddos HAD to be in the pictures too!

Holly & Matt – thanks SO much for bringing your sweet boys over! Can’t wait to get together!

My Enoch guy – when he was 10 months old!

He LOVES apples! And since I’m not fond of this whole solid food thing – it’s great therapy for me!

LOOK AT THOSE CHUBBY LITTLE FINGERS!

They love each other – a lot!

Amber and my sister were best friends in middle & high school – and we got together last year for some pictures with their new little guy!

This year – he’s not so little!

Amber – your boys are some of the best that I’ve photographed! You guys are FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to see you again next year!

I took Josh & Marcia’s pictures last November! I was SO excited to see them again this June!

BUT – the weather had a different idea! After rescheduling a few times and waiting for JUST THE RIGHT DAY – we got a BEAUTIFUL September evening!

BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!!!

There was a pink elephant in the cornfield!

Thank you SO much for having me over! I can’t wait to photograph you guys next year!
