My parents have a small farm – and Enoch LOVES the cows! He has loved them since he was a baby – even though their MOO scared him so much he shook!!

Right now they have a baby girl that needs bottle fed! E was SUPER excited to help make the formula AND feed her!

ALSO – if you want a little kitten – they’ve got LOTS to pick from!!

Her name is Ebony! Her mom kicked her in the head and wanted nothing to do with her – so my parents adopted her!

I rarely take REAL pictures of my kiddos anymore – it’s something that I struggle with – living in the moment or living behind the camera capturing the moment.

I’m so happy I pulled my camera out for THESE moments!!

THE shots she was REALLY looking forward to …

To be honest – I REALLY look forward to these shots too!!

ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!

Their oldest son asked me if I could grab some shots of him doing back flips – um … YES!!

PERFECTION!!

I had a blanket to put down – but asked if they would lie in the grass instead!!

Lori conquered her fear of snakes to do it!

I thought we were DONE after this – but then I got ONE more idea –

SWOON!!!

GORGEOUS!!

Mike & Lori – thank you SO MUCH for making the drive to come see THE hill – God gave us a BEAUTIFUL evening!!

WE MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL!!

GAH!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!! EXACTLY what she was envisioning for their family photos!!

STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!

SWOON!!!

Lori needed some head shots for her business too – PERFECT!!

ONE MORE POST!!!

I remember Mike & Lori from college – or at least I think I do!? I don’t know how else I would have know about them!

She messaged me in the fall talking about scheduling pictures for the spring – BUT – they live two hours from Mansfield – and she REALLY REALLY loved the family sessions at sunset on THE hill!

I messaged her the morning of our session to let her know that the grass was TOO long on THE hill – but I figured out some spots that would work. She REALLY wanted THE hill – so we agreed to reschedule till the hay was cut! I drove by the property trying to figure out something to make it work and IT WAS CUT! I messaged Lori to let her know we could still be on if they wanted!

It was a go!!

BUT – the edges were still PERFECT for our session!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

SWOON!!!

When I showed her those shots on the back of my camera – she said – THIS is why we drove two hours for pictures!!

AREN’T THEY A GORGEOUS FAMILY!?

Stay tuned …

She’s gonna have SO much love & fun & joy!!

She only has eyes for her momma!!

I couldn’t leave the pup out!!

She is fed & warm & safe – living her best life!

This sweet little one has two cousins that she’ll grow up with – and they got dolls to represent them!!

GAH!!! HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!

Kristi & Patrick – thank you so much for asking me to come photograph your precious baby! I am SO happy for you guys!

The SMILE on that puppy!!! She is SO happy to have her humans!

They have a new baby SISTER!!

SHE IS SO ADORABLE!! Look at those arm creases! You guys know how much I LOVE squishy babies – right!?

THOSE CHEEKS!!

Her dad has a sense of humor!

BEAUTIFUL!!

SISTERS!! I can’t get enough!!

Kristi has been waiting a LONG time for this baby girl!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

THAT LITTLE FACE!!

I LOVE the black & white but I also LOVE the color – so I gave you both – which one do YOU prefer!?

I love that her little eyes are closed – ADORABLE!!

And his little hand over his mouth – and her eyes are closed again – THE BEST!!

DANIELLE – come see our club house! DANIELLE come see my jump! DANIELLE – COME SEE!!

GAH!!! I am so thankful that I have friends with little girls – because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a little girl!!

So – does she have pig-tails or puppy-tails!? I vote pig-tails – what do YOU think!?

EITHER WAY – she’s just the sweetest thing.

MEGAN & SETH – I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!

Megan and I met because I needed a backup photographer for a wedding when I was pregnant with Fitzy!

Turns out – I didn’t need someone else to do the wedding – but Megan and I became friends.

I have a list of women that want to have a baby – grow their family – and Megan asked if I would pray for her.

Fitzy and her oldest are about a year apart and we’ve been good friends ever since!

That’s her oldest – on the right! He used to call Fitzy – Ipsy. And we ALL miss it!!

AND NOW – Megan has two little boys and two little girls – BE STILL MY HEART!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

MEGAN & HER DAUGHTERS!!

LOOK AT THOSE SMILES!!

SO MANY SMILES!!

FISH FACES!!

So many hands to hold her. SO MUCH LOVE!!

SWEET BABY! You are so very very loved!

At the end of our session – Carrie brought out some cupcakes to celebrate her youngest turning THREE!

Our session happened to be ON her birthday!

YUM!!

Her sister got to join in on the cupcake fun!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

Bare piggies in the grass – eating cupcakes as the sun goes down – SWEET SUMMERTIME!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE ONE!!

Carrie – thank you SO much for asking me to capture these beautiful moments in your life!!

BEST SHOT OF THE NIGHT!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS – those would be the ones I blow up and put on the wall!!

I LOVE SHADOWS! Seeing things that people usually miss – it’s what I love!!
