Antonella (which by the way I LOVE her name) brought her daughter and her SIL to the sunflowers for a GIRLS session!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

THE SWEETEST!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

MAKE SURE TO GET PICTURES WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE!! BRING THEM TO THE SUNFLOWER FIELD!!

AND ALSO REMEMBER – we all bloom in our own time!

Antonella – thank you SO MUCH for hanging out with me in the sunflowers!! I can’t wait to see you guys next time!

THE FRECKLES!!!

I love that Crystal asks me to photograph her sweet boys! I love their bond!

THE BEST SHOT!!

Crystal!!! I hope to see you again this summer in the sunflowers!

THOSE BLUE EYES!!!

The last time I saw Annie – I was photographing their engagement photos!?

I was SO happy when she messaged me about SUNFLOWER MINIS!!

Annie!! It was SO great to see you in the sunflower field!! I hope it’s not so long in between next time!!

I was there when this little girl was born – well – I missed it by TWO minutes – but I’m still counting it as being there!!

Ericka and I were organizing her room last year and she told me she was DONE. It was just her and her girls.

Then about a month later she texted me and said – you know how I said I was done!? Well. I met this guy …

He’s pretty much THE ONE.

Ericka – thanks for hanging out in the sunflowers with me!!

This guy!!

Fitzy was in a mood and didn’t want pictures – so mom mom & bacca got some with JUST Enoch – which being the second child doesn’t happen much!

My MIL really wanted some photos with the sunflowers before they left for the season!!

The plus side of being SO busy that I got 4 months behind on blogging is that we get to see some sunshine and summer in this dreary cold season!!

I LOVE this photo. You can see the shadows of the boys in the background. And mom is brushing her daughter’s hair quick before our shoot.

These kiddos are the same age as my own. I can’t believe I have been photographing their ENTIRE lives!!

You KNOW I love a good silhouette!!

Arica – thank you SO MUCH for the past ELEVEN YEARS of photographing you and your family!!

Vanessa & Cody really wanted some waterfall shots – and you know I am ALWAYS up for waterfall shots!

It was just a little chilly!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

Vanessa – thank you SO MUCH for spending your birthday with me!!

You are STRONG & BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING. I love you dearly!!

This is my cousin’s daughter. She is about the same age that my cousin was when I went to college.

So – Vanessa is forever THIS age in my head. It’s very hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that she has a daughter that age!!

Vanessa asked if we could meet at World’s End – and as much as we love creek exploring – we haven’t been there yet!

We happened to schedule our session on Vanessa’s birthday. Her 25th birthday.

Which means that I fell in love with photographing people 25 years ago.

I was 15 and I vividly remember her being born. She changed our lives.

My sister and I spent SO much time babysitting her and toting her around.

I took photography in high school and they became my first subjects! They being Vanessa and her brother Zach – who is a year younger than her!

I’ve got more to show – including WATERFALL photos!!

She is one of the happiest little girls I know!!

That curly hair!!

Angie & Tim – thank you SO MUCH for asking me into your lives over the past few years!!

I ALWAYS look

I’ve been taking Angie & Tim’s family photos for 4 years!!

We missed a maternity session while this beautiful baby was still brewing – but I did get to see her in all her squishy new-baby glory!!

He is SUCH a great big brother!!

GAH!!! SHE IS SO SQUISHY!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

I’ve got more squishy goodness to show you – TOMORROW!!
