I met with this sweet family on a BEAUTIFUL August evening!

I LOVE those shots!

Thank you SO much for asking me to photograph your family! I hope you LOVE the pictures!

*B* was NOT happy to see me – but patience was the key!

That first shot on the left was actually the LAST shot of the session – he did end up smiling!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

ADORABLE!

Brandi – thank you SO much for asking me to capture your son again!

I’ve loved photographing *J* over the past year!

OH MY WORD!

Ashley – thank you SO much for asking me to capture these special moments for you!

I’ve photographed several families for years – every fall or every summer. I love them. All of them.

Nicole & Dustin are clients that I’ve seen at least once every three months (with a few exceptions) for the last three years. Nicole has become a GREAT friend! I can’t explain how blessed we are to have them in our lives!

When *G* was born in February – Dustin was unable to be there (he was serving our country overseas) and I was SO sad when my horrible cold (or whatever it was) didn’t go away in time to be there. Thankfully – Bridget Reed (who did our birth photography with Fitzgerald) was able to be there! Check out their beautiful birth session.

When Nicole asked me about coming to the airport to photograph Dustin’s homecoming – we discovered it would most likely be while I was on vacation. SERIOUSLY!? Bridget was put back on stand by – just in case. By the way – Bridget – I am SO thankful that you and I have a great relationship when it comes to our clients and our businesses in general. Thank you so much for that!

Surprisingly – I was able to be there!

THAT WAS DADDY’S PLANE! THAT WAS DADDY’S PLANE!

Waiting. Just a few seconds more.

FINALLY!

That picture on top – makes me cry – EVERY TIME!

Thank you daddy. For everything.

LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Thank you Dustin for your sacrifice. Thank you both for your friendship. Thank you.

If you follow me on INSTAGRAM – I use #farmlife when we visit my parents!

My mom and I thought these might be monarchs – but we were wrong!

Fitzy took a very slow and very safe tractor ride!

Look at that little smile – I just love him SO much!

My mom told Fitzy to hold on to Pa as tight as he could. He listened!

We love spending time on the farm with my parents – Fitzy will be a great farm helper in a few years!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this family!

This might be my favorite session yet! I LOVE that shot on the right! Absolutely LOVE!

Thank you SO much for having me capture your BEAUTIFUL family!

I took pictures of *A* last year and her mom wanted another session this summer! I was SO excited!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how these shots turned out!

*A* said to me – you know what – my FAVORITE part of summer is when you come take my picture! Talk about making my day – or year!

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

Last summer I took pictures for this family – seems like it was just yesterday!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

Thank you SO much for asking me to capture your family again! Have a GREAT summer!

I met Rachel when I took her engagement photos last fall! I was so excited to photograph her new love bug!

I cannot WAIT to have a playdate with Fitzy and little *K* – she is a doll!

OH MY WORD! I love love LOVE that shot! I cannot WAIT to have one of Fitzy with his little baby!

Rachel – thank you SO much for asking me to capture this sweet moment in your lives!

FOUR MONTHS ALREADY!

BROTHERS!

Nicole – I am so thankful that God brought us into each other’s lives! You are a beautiful soul!
