Scott is another friend that I spent A LOT of time with over 20 years ago!!

He is married to the sweetest girl – Terri!

She wanted some updated photos of her oldest!!

And the little brother – WHO IS ADORABLE!!!

Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL!?

Terri had breast cancer – last year – I think. She is a fighter. The things she shares about Jesus are absolutely beautiful. She is beautiful. This whole family is beautiful.

Terri’s cancer is back. Pray with us.

THANK YOU for asking me to capture a little bit of your beautiful family!!!

When I met Amy – her daughter Ella was only 6 months old. She was the smiliest – brightest blue-eyed – fieriest red-haired little baby!!

This is her TODAY!?

She’s a SENIOR this year!!!

I worked closely with Amy at Phoenix Rehab. One day she said to me – we didn’t plan on saying anything until a little later – but you’ll need to know why I’m feeling the way I am.

I’m pregnant and SO VERY SICK and it wasn’t like this with Ella. I said – maybe it’s twins!?

She said – WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!?

After her first ultrasound appointment – she came into the office and slammed the photo face-down. She said – LOOK AT THE PHOTO!!!

Baby A & Baby B!? TWINS!? Yes. Twins!!

SISTERS!!!

It’s SO hard to believe that the little babies I photographed at every chance I had – have turned into these beautiful young women.

I babysat them often for Amy. And NOW – they’re watching MY kids for me!? HOW CAN THAT BE!?

Those are my favorite!!

And just as a reference – here’s a shot I took when they were little vs. today!!!

We ALWAYS grab a shot of the twins together!!

Amy – Ella – Addy – Mady – THANK YOU so much for spending the morning with me AND getting IN the water!!

I love that I’ve been able to capture your WHOLE LIVES!!! THANK YOU ENDLESSLY!!

Jillian and her family were my LAST sunflower session of the season!!

We usually do fall photos – but she saw the sunflower field and said – I’ve ALWAYS wanted photos in a sunflower field!!

BROTHERS!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

SO MUCH SO that I want to put it on MY wall!!

I can’t imagine having a studio – I would have SO MANY of your amazing faces on my walls!!

Jillian ALWAYS wanted sunflower photos in her wedding dress – so she brought it along!!

Jillian – thank you SO much for asking me into your lives year after year!!!

We NEED to make 2022 the year we get together for dinner and NOT just pictures!!!

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!!

 

 

MOMMY & ME

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!!

I was there when this little girl was born – well – I missed it by TWO minutes – but I’m still counting it as being there!!

Ericka and I were organizing her room last year and she told me she was DONE. It was just her and her girls.

Then about a month later she texted me and said – you know how I said I was done!? Well. I met this guy …

He’s pretty much THE ONE.

Ericka – thanks for hanging out in the sunflowers with me!!
