We spent the afternoon picking blueberries with GG!

And it’s been FOREVER since I’ve taken pictures of Jack – so we had a mini-mini photo session!

That G – she’s the ABSOLUTE BEST!

I didn’t intend on bringing my camera to the fair – but I was going straight home afterward – and couldn’t risk leaving it in the car!

I’m really happy that I HAD to bring it with me!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

THAT CRAZY ENOCH GUY!

G is the crowd favorite!

The boys love taking pictures of me – and I LOVE seeing how they see me!

Make sure to spend quality time with the people you love. Make sure to take pictures. Make sure YOU are in the pictures!

My brother and his wife were home visiting my parents in July – it didn’t work for ALL of us to get together – but I couldn’t resist taking pictures of the kids together!

Sammy and Jack came home too!

Fitzy and Rowyn are the only kiddos that got one-on-one time with Sammy – they ADORE her!

My brother and his daughter – BE STILL MY HEART!

That CURLY head of hair!!

We took a picture last year – in the same order – so now it’s going to have to be a tradition!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

I love when the cousins spend time together!

Stay tuned for pictures of our blueberry picking adventure and the TROY FAIR!

We spend SO MUCH time at the pool in the summer! We go to church with a very kind and generous man – who happens to open up his pool to us! And we go – A LOT! I got back from photographing Aszur and her family in their pool and was inspired to take my camera to document my boys swimming and having fun!

THE BEST BROTHERS!

This guy – he taught himself how to swim – in the DEEP END!

He is SO proud of himself!

Put a puddle jumper on this guy – and he’s JUST FEARLESS!

Make sure to come back and check out our FAMILY pictures at the pool! The bad thing about being a photographer is that you can’t photograph your OWN pictures with your OWN vision!

I’ve been SO looking forward to this session with Aszur and her sweet family!

LOOK AT THAT FACE! SHE IS GORGEOUS!

I CAN’T EVEN DEAL!

I love her little hand on her big brother!

Make sure to notice that little butterfly on her foot and her shirt! She MUST be as sweet as sugar!

SO SWEET! Aszur finally got her blue-eyed baby girl!

It was a PERFECT day to take some shots of the boys enjoying their pool!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

OH MY WORD! I LOVE THAT ONE TOO!

Aszur & Dave – it was SO GREAT to see you guys! Thanks for asking me to come up and capture your family HAVING FUN!

LOOK AT THAT SWEET FACE!

We spent the first weekend in August at the farm!

We had a small celebration for our GG – she’s now 84!

That GG – she’s got all three of her kiddos living with 15 minutes of her! And she absolutely LOVES being able to spend time with her great-grandchildren!

THE ABSOLUTE SWEETEST!

A sticky sandy day called for a tubby!

I assure you – he does get tired of a camera in his face!

That sweet boy – he loves his special ice cream and his Pa AND the farm!

Kelly & Dane have been loyal clients for over 6 years – not only that – they’ve become friends too!

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!

OH MY WORD!!

LOOK AT THAT WRSIT CHUB!!

I LOVE THAT LAST SHOT!

Kelly – I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU THIS FALL WITH ALL THE COUSINS!

I cannot BELIEVE that this sweet little girl is TWO!!

I absolutely LOVE those shots! He is SO good with her!

OH MY WORD! SO SWEET!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ONE!

She was really NOT feeling photos – but then her grandpa brought out the POPS!

Kelly – THANK YOU so much for spending the evening with me!

I hope your parents cherish these pictures!

The ceremony …

I LOVE those shots – FINALLY – married!

The groom’s mom and his new wife – the two most important women in his life!

This was the FIRST time for a shot of the ENTIRE GUEST LIST!

Is that not one of the most BEAUTIFUL wedding dresses you have EVER SEEN!

WARNING – when small children are at your wedding – I will take LOTS of pictures of them!

Jill & Bob – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the day with you and record this BEAUTIFUL chapter of your life!

Jill & Bob aren’t from this area – but when they asked around – my name came up for weddings!

Jill was one of THE most organized brides I’ve ever worked with! And while things rarely go as planned – it’s great to HAVE a plan!

Seemingly unimportant details. My favorite kind!

That shadow outside the door – that’s Bob – waiting to see his wife for their first look!

He could NOT keep his eyes off her!

GORGEOUS! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !

Their little flower girl!

Bobby LOVES his guns! Jill had asked me if I was comfortable taking some photos with guns – NOT loaded – of course!

We checked and double checked and triple checked – NOT loaded!

LOVE THAT ONE!

to be continued …

Danielle & Cliff are GAMERS – and while they might play video games – I’m talking about board games!

Card games! Strategy games! ALL THE GAMES!

They’re getting married on May 26, 2018!

I absolutely LOVE that little quote! What do you think? I think it’s totally true!

SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!

Danielle & Cliff – thank you SO much for asking me to come capture your passion!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR WEDDING NEXT YEAR! And our next two engagement sessions!
