Angela is a fellow photographer and an integral part of our MOPS group – both Covington and Wellsboro!

She couldn’t make the re-scheduled mini session date – so I ran up to her house one evening in July to take some quick pictures for her!

I realize that the spot of sun RIGHT ON HER EYE isn’t ideal – but I LOVE IT!

OH MY HEART! I LOVE THAT SHOT – and let me tell you – this little guy has certainly changed!

Just a few short years ago – he HATED having his picture taken!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THOSE SHOTS! SWEET SISTERS!

Angela – thank you for being so flexible with your schedule! And thank you for just being YOU!

HOW ABOUT THAT AMAZING CAKE!!

I’ve been taking pictures for Vicky and her family for about 6 years! This is the first time I’ve met her husband’s side of the family!

The party was a bit of a surprise – an ANNIVERSARY surprise for this wonderful couple!

I love seeing the brand new babies with the great-grandmothers!

A few weeks ago – my MIL introduced me to this wonderful woman in the pictures – and she said – OH YES! We’ve met! She took pictures for our family and they were BEAUTIFUL! (I’ve heard my in-laws talk fondly about this couple over the years – but never made the connection of who they were!)

Vicky – I’ll see you again after Thanksgiving! THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to spend the afternoon with your family!

I photographed Kelley’s wedding in 2011 – at least I THINK it was 2011!

She’s moved here and there since and was home visiting and wanted a session with her family!

OH SWEET COUSINS!

Kelley – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend some time with your family! I LOVE the shots we got!

I was SO excited when Myrana asked me about capturing her pregnancy! I took their engagement photos and their wedding photos – so this was a GREAT honor! It’s such an amazing experience to watch families grow!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

AND Myrana is ALWAYS up for my vision!

SERIOUSLY!

Tyler – on the other hand – he “puts up” with my vision! I told him that IDEALLY I wanted him wasit-deep – but ankles would be fine!

Myrana & Tyler – thank you for asking me to document your growing family! I can’t WAIT to meet your sweet boy!

And an EXTRA THANK YOU for getting your feet – or in Myrana’s case a little MORE than your feet wet!

I go to MOPS with Angie and she happens to be a LipSense consultant! She’s married to her high-school-sweetheart and they have 7 children! I was excited to work with her family – if I remember right – they’ve never had professional family photos taken!

I LOVE those shots!

Angie – I hope you LOVED your photos! Thank you AGAIN!

You might remember this family from their newborn session in the fall!

Those first 6 months – FLY RIGHT BY!

OH MY WORD! She’s SO amazing!

I CANNOT GET OVER HOW ADORABLE SHE IS!

BEAUTIFUL!!

OH MY HEART!

OH MY – she is just a ball of gooey goodness!

Brittany – thank you so much for asking me to record this amazing time in your life!

Make sure to add Brittany’s blog to your bookmarks – SIMPLY STAY HOME!

Being asked into your lives year after year – it’s such an AMAZING honor!

OH MY HEART!

SO SWEET!!

Most of the time – I mentally shoot in black & white or color – and this one – was ALWAYS black & white in my head!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to capture another year of your family! I can’t WAIT to see you next year!

The cousins had to come get some kitten snuggles too!

Thankfully – GG let me take a few shots of her!

LOOK AT THOSE AMAZING MEN IN MY LIFE!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Dearest family – you are amazing. I LOVE YOU!

My parents had some kittens – and the boys just LOVED them! And – I mean the drop-offs had them.

While E loves the cows – they can be LOUD sometimes!

Believe me – he begged and begged to take this little guy home!

Even GG had to come out for some cuddles!

We ended the day with a marshmallow roast – stay tuned for those shots tomorrow!

As promised – PART TWO!

When Pa first got his motorcycle – E wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! He also did NOT want Pa riding it!

The boys soon warmed up to the idea of a MOTORCYCLE RIDE!

Now – I know – you’re thinking – WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM!

Great care was taken and low speeds were observed!

And because I REALLY DO LOVE to take pictures of nature!

WATERWORKS! WE LOVE OUR GAMES in this family!

STAR WARS FOR LIFE!

He really really enjoys playing with guys!

If you haven’t in a while – take your camera – and devote a day to capturing your family in action! You will NOT regret it!
