WE TRIED ALL THE THINGS!!!

Allie got her aunt’s family a GIFT CERTIFICATE – JUST BECAUSE.

Just because she wanted them to have pictures TODAY of this moment in time.

That is the BEST reason to schedule photos!!

Luckily – we were able to use the TROY SALE BARN for their photos because it was a CHILLY November day!

The little guy was NOT a fan of me!! Which seemed to be a recurring theme this fall!!

So – we let him take a break and took some photos of the girls!

He had a moment – which is the perfect moment to photograph!!

THE GUYS!!

Grandma & Grandpa will ALL their grandbabies!!

OOOOH!!! THE SQUISH!!

Nikki – I am SO happy that it worked out to grab pictures of your family!!

Allie – THANK YOU for such a thoughtful gift!!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

We ran back inside to WARM UP because it was SO COLD that day!!

And they talked to to the people that couldn’t make it to the ceremony!!

I cannot imagine our lives without FACETIME!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

They’ve waited a LONG time for this moment!!

That’s one of my FAVORITE photos of the day!!

I ADORE THAT SHOT!!!

Courtney & Kevin – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to spend this long overdue day with you!!!

Courtney found me on THE KNOT!

She and Kevin had dated YEARS ago and then lost touch.

BUT they found their way back to each other and didn’t want to waste another second!!

Courtney LOVES her nieces – and they equally adore her!

I love that she’s still in her jammies!!

I couldn’t believe that her stuffy was a RAINBOW TROUT!!!

My maiden name is Trout and my dad REALLY wanted to name me RAINBOW!!

Being an aunt before you have your own children – it’s a MAGICAL thing!!

True to late fall – early winter in North PA – it was a VERY windy & chilly day – but it was their wedding day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Do you see how intense her gaze is!? She was MORE than ready to say I DO!!

THEY DID IT!!! HUSBAND & WIFE!!!

NOW it was time to warm up!!!

I met Jackie when I took their maternity photos – 2 years ago!!

We got together on a GORGEOUS November afternoon – BUT – her little girl wanted NOTHING to do with me.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

I usually say – I WILL WIN – and I usually win!! But this girl – she was a tough one to crack!

I will STILL get the photos and they will STILL be beautiful and they will definitely capture the emotions!

REALLY REALLY not happy about this girl with the camera!!

I LOVE THOSE!!!

We thought maybe a trip to the playground would lift her spirits – make it a little better!?

She still wanted me FAR away – but I LOVE THIS SHOT SO MUCH!!

AHHH!!! THOSE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES!!

I was a stealthy ninja – and got a couple of smiles!?

MAYBE going to Gramma’s house will help!?

I didn’t get the smiles. BUT – she did let down her guard enough that she forgot I was there!

She spilled the bird feed and picked it up.

I love the crack in the sidewalk – how she’s squatting – her little bandaged finger – the concentration!

EVERYTHING!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!

AND MAYBE EVEN BETTER IN BLACK & WHITE!?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING THE MOST!!!

Everyday moments that seem insignificant – but they are what our days are made of.

Jackie & Dane – thank you SO MUCH for trying ALL the things to make your little one happy for photos!!

I hope the photos we got speak to you – even though they aren’t what you may have envisioned!!

Hopefully it goes better next time!!!

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!!!
