SUNFLOWERS

Stephanie & Zack Martin were kind enough to offer their SUNFLOWER fields for local photographers to use!!

There were several nights that 3 of us were there using the same field some of the time!

I LOVE being a part of a community that encourages instead of competes.

The patterns in nature are BREATHTAKING!!

Remember – you might have been planted at the same time as someone else – but you’re not blooming yet.

Your time will come.

Zack & Stephanie – THANK YOU ENDLESSLY for your generous nature! SO MANY people were given the photos of their dreams!

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!

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!!!

Dani asked about a creek session for her kiddos. She told me that she wanted photos of them just BEING KIDS in the creek.

She was waiting for her husband to come to our session while I took the kids down to the creek and took what she told me very literally.

They most certainly got IN the water!!

I MAY have encouraged the muckiness – because it photographs so well!!

They got a “little” wet!!

You can still get family photos when the kids are soaking wet!!!

I love looking at things with a different perspective!!

Thankfully – my favorite creek isn’t far from THE sunflower fields!!

Dani!!! Thank you SO much for spending the evening with me!! I can’t WAIT to photograph your family again!

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!!

Jan was REALLY wanting maternity photos and when she saw the SUNFLOWER sessions – she set one up!

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!!
