I know Kara’s mom – Crystal – and we’ve been talking about setting up a session for quite some time! Thankfully I had a spot open up and we fit her in!

BEAUTIFUL!

I think she looks like a young Robin Wright in that shot on the right! I LOVE it!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

The reflection shot was all Kara! It turned out GREAT!

I saw this on our way back home and HAD to stop! I love the light and the road – EVERYTHING!

I LOVE the way they turned out!

Crystal & Kara – thanks for setting this up at the last minute! I’m SO glad it worked out!

KT and I met in 2005 – I think. We immediately connected and became really close friends. In 2007 – she lived with us for a semester while attending college at Mansfield. In early 2010 – things got crazy. It doesn’t matter what happened – but we stopped talking. We were both very hurt and angry and confused. I missed her. I missed out on her pregnancy and birth of *O*. I missed her being there while I was pregnant with Fitzy. I had photographed her so many times – just for fun – her engagement to *C* – her wedding. I was sad. We had been such close friends and then nothing but hurt and anger.

I don’t remember exactly how we started talking again. I had some albums of her that I didn’t use anymore and wanted to make sure they were in her hands and not just in my closet collecting dust. I emailed her and asked if she wanted them. We talked about how much we missed our friendship. We said we were sorry. We admitted our wrongs and asked for forgiveness.

We finally met at a park over the summer with our sweet children. Jared and I stayed with them in September and they came down to see us last month.

I’m SO excited to have this friendship back – and equally excited to post these photos!

She is SO cute! Fitzy loves her and they get along so well!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those ones too! I want that top picture on MY wall!

KT – I LOVE YOU. I am so thankful that we got over ourselves and reconnected.

I’m so excited you were finally in front of my camera again!

I’ve known Stephanie for quite some time – she owns a salon in town and let me display some of my albums!

When she asked if we could do a senior session for her daughter – I jumped at the chance!

I knew that Destinee would be FABULOUS to shoot – and she didn’t disappoint!

SERIOUSLY!

One of my FAVORITE places to shoot!

BEAUTIFUL!

I had a vision in my head using this carriage – and it turned out even better than I hoped!

Destinee and her mom brought the mirror and the creativity for those shots!

BEAUTIFUL!

Destinee wants a future in make-up artistry – I suggest modeling!

WHOA! Seriously – so gorgeous!

Stephanie squeezed in a few family shots too!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those last shots! Perfect light – perfect color – perfect smiles!

Thanks again SO much for asking me to photograph THIS moment for you guys!

Michele won a family session in June and after several rainy days – we finally got her session in!

I LOVE those shots!

Michele – I hope you LOVE your photos!

At the end of September – we spent the day with our friend Aszur and her family!

She took a few shots of us on their property – thank you Aszur – I LOVE them!

I am so in love with our little family! It’s been a difficult year – and we are so looking forward to moving on and embracing what life has in store for us – even if it’s more rough roads (which seems to be the norm for us).

I love when clients get gift certificates for their family!

Holly gave Megan a gift certificate for her little guy *S* and we finally figured out a time for pictures!

Normally – 3 month olds are the hardest for me to photograph – but this little guy was WONDERFUL!

OH MY HEART!

My parents have a BEAUTIFUL property! This little patch of trees worked perfectly for our session!

Megan – it was GREAT to meet you and cuddle your little guy!

Holly – thanks SO much for giving the gift of photography!

Seventeen. I cannot believe that Fitzy’s been here for 17 months!

I brought Fitzy along on a session – which I don’t like to do – but Jared was along in no time to pick him up!

OH MY HEART! I cannot even deal with the cuteness!

I LOVE that series – so sweet!

One more shot – on my way home from the session with the *B* family that night!

BEAUTIFUL!

Dillan entered the *B* family into the BEAUTIFUL contest earlier this year – and his submission won them a free session!

CRAZY CUTE KIDDOS!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

Dillan – thanks SO much for nominating this BEAUTIFUL family!

Michelle & Phil – you guys are AWESOME!

I met with Megan on a BEAUTIFUL morning for her senior session!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that photo!

I LOVE those shots!

The last shots are usually my favorites – and this time was no exception!

Megan – thanks SO much for asking me to capture your senior photos! I had a GREAT time!

I very rarely do sessions in my backyard – but I wanted to make sure I fit these cute sisters in – and it worked out GREAT!

My BFF – Johna – got me the white baby carriage for my birthday last year – she knows the way to my heart!

CUTIES!

OH MY HEART – I cannot get over this carriage! The only downfall is that I can’t get it into my car – so you’ll have to come to my backyard if you want it in your next session!

SO SWEET!

*K* – thank you SO much for bringing your girls for a sweet session! I hope to see you again!
