The last time I saw Emily – I was photographing her wedding! EIGHT years ago!

I knew she had a little girl – but I didn’t know about this adorable little guy!

When I pulled up to their house and saw this MILKWEED field – I screamed a little bit! A WHOLE FIELD OF MILKWEED! A DREAM!

ALWAYS let them be little – it gets the sillies out!

OH MY HEART!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

That shot MIGHT be my FAVORITE!!

And a tiny ladybug to end the night!

Emily – THANK YOU SO MUCH for having me over! Next time – let’s NOT wait 8 years!!

You might recognize Kristi & Patrick – they had the SURPRISE wedding in September!

They wanted to spend some time AFTER the wedding to get some shots together!

I absolutely ADORE that shot!!

And that one – and that other one – and the one after that!!

GORGEOUS!!

SWOON!!

I LOVE that barn – it might be my new favorite place to shoot!

Kristi & Patrick – THANK YOU for making the trip to Mansfield!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Kristi & Patrick – THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming down to see me! I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS!

FOUR years ago I took Jake & Tara’s wedding photos – and NOW their baby girl isn’t so much of a baby anymore!!

She wasn’t so sure of me – just her momma!

FINALLY – some smiles!

Jake & Tara – thank you for making the drive down!

Big brothers – smooshy faces – giant kisses!!

Lynae – thank you SO much for bringing your family for your FIRST photo session! I hope to see you again soon!!

Cathy messaged me about my LAST mini session spot – because they’ve NEVER had family photos!

Do you know how many people have NEVER had family photos – TOO MANY!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to take your FIRST family photos!!

Lauren wanted some photos of her littles – she has a son in college – who wasn’t home for the weekend!

A mini session was PERFECT!

Their outfits – MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!

THOSE SHOTS – FAVORITES!!

Lauren – thank you SO much!!

Wendi messaged me about a mini senior session for her daughter – would it work? With TWO outfits?

YES IT WOULD!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

Hannah – thank you SO much for asking me to take your senior photos! I hope you LOVE them! And I hope you find something you LOVE and do it well!!

I LOVE when Kelly messages me about booking a mini session for the COUSINS!!

That guy on the right – he REALLY didn’t like me!!

And that littlThis year was a little more difficult!

She was REALLY not happy!

And that little guy – wanted NOTHING to do with me!!

Usually a mini session is the perfect amount of time – this year they were not having it!

BUT – I do LOVE real photos – and these will be GREAT to recreate when they’re older!

THANK YOU so much!!

I LOVED Sierra’s family photos last year – I didn’t think it was possible to love any photos of them more – but I was wrong!

SERIOUSLY!!

SO GORGEOUS!!

Fall sessions – REAL fall sessions are the BEST for cuddly pictures!

LOOK AT THAT PEANUT!!

I MEAN – LOOK AT THOSE FACES!!

Sierra – you are SUCH A BEAUTIFUL soul! I am so blessed to call you a dear friend!

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

LITTLE GIRL – this one won’t take anyone telling her she’s too little!

That last shot – it might be my FAVORITE shot in a LONG TIME!! SO MANY WORDS! SO MANY EMOTIONS!!

A mom & her son. A bond like no other!

Adrianne – THANK YOU for asking me to spend an hour in the life of YOU & YOUR FAMILY!!

I hope you LOVE your photos as much as I do!
