Jackie & Dane were more than happy to try BOTH locations – which I was VERY thankful for!!

I have fallen in love with fall colors more and more with each year that passes!!

GORGEOUS!!

Jackie LOVES Halloween and she is LOVING having a little pumpkin to join her this year!!

GIVE ME ALL THE FALL COLORS!!!

I LOVE that you all trust me to lay in the grass – for THE shot!!

SO BEAUTIFUL!! Forever one of my favorite shots of expecting mommas!!

I love the last shots of the night – they are almost ALWAYS my favorite shots of the night!!

Jackie & Dane are waiting to find out if they’re having a boy or a girl on THE birthday!!

Something that I envy!! I wish I could have the patience to wait!!

I wanted to take them to the property for some silhouette shots – but it was quite cloudy!!

We managed a few shots though!!

While it wasn’t the shots I was hoping for – I do LOVE the moodiness of these!!

Jackie & Dane – thank you SO much for asking me to capture this amazing chapter of your life!!

I cannot WAIT to meet your little pumpkin!!!

Jackie messaged me in August hoping to schedule maternity photos!

She went to high school with my friend Sierra and saw her pictures and what she had to say about her experience with me – and THAT made her schedule!!

Did you know that advertising is GREAT! Facebook is AWESOME!

BUT the BEST referral source is STILL & will ALWAYS be YOUR voice!

I couldn’t decide on ONE location – I really really wanted to take them to our FAVORITE spot in Mansfield – but I also wanted to take them to the property outside of town – both are SO beautiful!!

She couldn’t decide on ONE outfit – so it was a perfect excuse to use BOTH locations!

THIS PLACE!!! It’s in my friend’s backyard – a completely hidden GEM!!

BEAUTIFUL!!

I ADORE THAT SHOT!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS TOO!!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

I love summer – don’t get me wrong – LOVE IT!!! BUT – this pictures – the leaves – the moss – the boots – the plaid – IT SCREAMS FALL!!!

I LOVED this session!!

Stay tuned for their second location!!!

Kellie messaged me about a mini maternity session – and as much as I LOVE full sessions with you – I totally understand the want for a mini session!

We met a little later on a Saturday morning and caught some shots while their baby boy is still on the inside!!

BIG SISTER!!

The sweetest moment!!

BEAUTIFUL!!

Kellie & Jason – thanks for meeting up with me! I can’t WAIT to see that sweet little brother!!

I LOVE this perspective!!!

That dreamy sunset light – it’s my FAVORITE!!

Aimee & Andrew – thank you SO MUCH for making the long drive to Mansfield for your family photos!

I had a GREAT time with your family!

Our friend Becca had a birthday. We were planning on getting together for a bonfire – a FANCY bonfire as per Becca’s request – but storms were in the forecast.

SO – we moved the party to our house!

Enoch wanted to make some signs for the party!

It wasn’t a SURPRISE – but the WE LOVE YOU SORTA – all their idea!!

Fitzy wanted to DRESS UP too – so he borrowed a skirt and a jacket from my closet!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

SHE BENT MY BROOM HANDLE!!

Becca really does care about us – but give her that baby – and we don’t exit anymore!

Because babies are the BEST birthday gifts!!

BECCA – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

KISSES!!

I took Emily’s wedding photos nearly TEN years ago!!

I met up with her family last fall for a session and she emailed me this summer about photographing their family again – this time with a new baby!!

SAFE IN THE ARMS OF LOVE!!

It was an early morning – a BRIGHT morning – but I loved this shot anyway!
