I LOVE when Kelly messages me about booking a mini session for the COUSINS!!
That guy on the right – he REALLY didn’t like me!!
And that littlThis year was a little more difficult!
She was REALLY not happy!
And that little guy – wanted NOTHING to do with me!!
Usually a mini session is the perfect amount of time – this year they were not having it!
BUT – I do LOVE real photos – and these will be GREAT to recreate when they’re older!
THANK YOU so much!!
I LOVED Sierra’s family photos last year – I didn’t think it was possible to love any photos of them more – but I was wrong!
SERIOUSLY!!
SO GORGEOUS!!
Fall sessions – REAL fall sessions are the BEST for cuddly pictures!
LOOK AT THAT PEANUT!!
I MEAN – LOOK AT THOSE FACES!!
Sierra – you are SUCH A BEAUTIFUL soul! I am so blessed to call you a dear friend!
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
As promised – the rest of Matt & Renata’s session!
DID I TELL YOU THAT FALL IS MY FAVORITE!?
AND THIS PICTURE IS MY FAVORITE!!
This guy – he REALLY likes to be silly! He reminds me so much of my Enoch guy!
SEE – RIDICULOUSLY PHOTOGENIC!!
And that little hand squishing his momma’s face – MY FAVORITE!!
GORGEOUS!!
MORE OF THE SILLINESS!!
Matt & Renata – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!
Let’s get together SOON!!
I’ve been taking Renata & Matt’s photos for nearly TEN years!!
AND they might be some of the most photogenic people I know!
When it doubt – let them be little!
And let them be silly!
ALWAYS encourage the silliness!
SO SWEET!!
As you know – I tend to take “too many” photos so you’ll see the rest of their session tomorrow!!
The last installment!!
DO YOU SEE HIS MOM’S REACTION!?
SO MUCH SMASHING!!
It RAINED & RAINED & RAINED – heavy – but we missed it! We were dry & warm inside the barn – eating a fantastic dinner!
Make sure you kiss – A LOT – on your wedding day!
We missed sunset while the dollar dance was happening – BUT I’ve been loving that dusky feel lately!
Brides & grooms – MAKE SURE YOU DANCE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!! LOOK AT THOSE SHOTS!!
THAT SMILE!! Isn’t he such a sweetie!
SING US A SONG – YOU’RE THE PIANO MAN – SING US A SONG TONIGHT!
Tarra & Adam – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to spend the day with you!
And THANK YOU for dancing the night away – it makes for FANTASTIC pictures!! I hope you LOVE your photos!!
The ones you’ve been waiting for!!
GORGEOUS!!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!
Tarra mentioned a little waterfall just down the creek – I had NO IDEA we would be walking to HAWAII!!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
PERFECTION!!
Fall weddings are my FAVORITE!!
ONE MORE post – TOMORROW!!
Tarra let me know that their nephew is a special little guy and they wanted LOTS of photos with him!
He almost always turned that smile on when I focused on him!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
ADORABLE!
Her dad was RUNNING – making sure the wedding would start ON TIME!
One LAST hug while he’s all hers! Seriously – these mother-of-the-groom moments – I can’t hold it together!
I LOVE her reaction!
ALWAYS make sure your bridal party is a FUN bridal party!!
Tarra emailed me earlier this year hoping I was available for her October wedding at The Creekside Barn!
THANKFULLY I WAS!!
GORGEOUS!!
Getting ready photos – they are my FAVORITE!!
BEAUTIFUL!
Moody black & white portraits of brides – one of my FAVORITE things!
Stay tuned for the next THREE installments of their wedding photos!
I met Faith when Faith (a different Faith) submitted her family for BEAUTIFUL a few years ago!
Turns out – we are distantly related! Our great-grandfather’s were cousins – or something like that!
I was so happy when Kim contacted me about Faith’s senior pictures!
Faith was a trooper – the mosquitoes were AWFUL!!
I am LOVING shooting RIGHT AT SUNSET lately!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
FAITH! Thank you SO much for believing in my vision! Laying on the rocks in a parking lot – laying in a mosquito-ridden field!
I had a GREAT night hanging out with you! Whatever you do – MAKE SURE YOU LOVE IT!
I’ve been taking Autumn’s photos for the past 6 or 7 years! Their engagement – wedding – babies – family – birthday parties – ALL THE THINGS!!
This year – we met at their newly acquired property – which is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
LOOK AT THAT FACE!!
OH MY HEART!!
BASEBALL BROTHERS!!
And soon – a little sister will make her debut!!
You know what my FAVORITE thing about that picture is? Autumn’s fingertips barely brushing her little boy’s head. THAT MOMENT.
That little glance. THAT MOMENT!
Reaching for his momma’s hand. THAT MOMENT!!
That little baby girl at the edge of the frame! AN HOUR IN THE LIFE OF YOU!!
ISN’T HE DARLING!!
This little guy – he’s gonna be a baseball player when he grows up!
I MEAN – SERIOUSLY! LOOK AT HIM!!
Autumn & Ryan – thank you SO MUCH for asking me into your lives year after year!! I can’t WAIT to see you as a family of FIVE!!
