This was the craziest place to take photos! When we finally made our schedules work to meet on this beautiful Fall day we were anticipating gorgeous Fall colors to go along with it. The drive getting to the park where we met was absolutely breathtaking - I mean the trees were FULL and BRIGHT and absolutely PICTURESQUE! The strange thing about this, though, is when we drove into the park it was as if a heavy wind blew all the trees bare - and in the PARK only! It was crazy! It wasn't completely clear and there were a few spots that we knew would still be very nice as far as backgrounds. Still, we had a very nice time exploring this beautiful park. The weather was perfect! Besides, this family would have made a thunderstorm look beautiful just because they are all so good looking!
I was blessed to have not one - but TWO families to photograph today! I did a bit of traveling in between the two but that only allowed me to enjoy the gorgeous colors of Fall even more.
This family are also friends of ours and our children go to school together. That beautiful little girl is in my daughters dance class too. We did this shoot right on their property and man did they have the most spectacular opportunities for some breathtaking backgrounds... A pond, corn fields, the trails throughout their land, and, of course, all the natural foliage! Then, you place four good looking people and the most fun and playful puppy in front of those natural backgrounds and masterpieces are created! It is with great excitement that I finally get to share this beautiful little girl with you! She was officially adopted on April 15 this year and is now a member of our family! I have been so lucky to be a part of this little lady's life because she is MY family! Arrionna is our second cousin and she captured all of our hearts the moment she was brought home to Bob and Shannon - and what an amazing blessing that was! Not only did she get two amazing parents - but she also got a big brother, Haydien, who Bob and Shannon also adopted. I have been photographing this little beauty for quite some time now and I am so excited that I can share these with you now! The most recent photos I took of Onna was today for her one year photos. We met at a beach and after we did the cutesy stuff - we went wild and splashed and played in the water! Onna thought that was the best part. One fun memory I was able to capture was Onna standing on her own without using anything to help pull her up! Mommy, you are going to have a little girl running around in no time!
It's not often that little ones have those special people close enough to capture a memory like that so I was extremely thrilled that I was able to get that documented for them. Thank you guys, once again, for sharing your little angel with me! I enjoyed our visit and seeing how big Kenley has gotten already!
The best thing about this experience of calling myself a photographer has, hands down, been the opportunity for me to meet new people and better yet - to create awesome friendships out of these sessions. That is what has happened for me and this family. So, after capturing some photos of her gorgeous kids - mom and I got to visit and laugh and have a good time while our kids all played together at the park where we were. Aren't these kids beautiful!?!? Haydien is TWO!!! It's just amazing to watch this little guy grow. He is so happy and healthy and such a spoiled little guy! Spoiled with LOVE. I had so much fun with you little guy! Thank you for spending the afternoon with me again - we braved a bit of a chill but we took plenty of breaks in mommy's truck to warm up (much to your delight). select "read more" to see more of this happy 2 year old
Kenley - welcome to the family! This little beauty is who I got to spend a couple of hours with this afternoon. There are no words for how sweet of a child she is. She was born quite a bit early which scared mom and dad and everyone else for that matter but she is thriving so well! Those adorable chubby cheeks just prove what a healthy little girl she is. Mom and dad are so blessed to have this little pink bundle (a joke for mommy's sake - sorry Alyssa - I couldn't resist)! :) It's going to be so fun to see you grow sweet Kenley. Daddy is sure proud - I could tell how much pride he has for you already and you aren't even a month old. select "read more" to see more of Kenley with her mom and dad too
Haydien - you make me laugh! Your sweetness and rambunctious personality makes anyone who meets you absolutely love you! Thank you for spending the afternoon with me little man! select "read more" to see more of his beautiful baby blues

A tiny new blessing was added to this family and I had the privilege of photographing him the day after his birth. He was born June 10 in the 8:00PM hour. I know his mom and dad and their excitement for Reid to join their family was so evident throughout their whole pregnancy. These are the shots I took while they were still in the hospital. see more by clicking "read more" below
It is with great excitement that I finally get to share this beautiful little boy with you! He has been adopted and is now officially a member of the family! I have been so lucky to be a part of this little guys life because he is MY family! Haydien is our second cousin and has been since day one, but today it is official! Bob and Shannon, what a blessing to have this little guy in your life! And he is just as lucky to have been given you two as his parents. Back in August last year, we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon capturing this handsome blue eyed baby at 6 months old. We even finished up our photo shoot with his first splash in the lake! view more photos by clicking "read more" below!
Today I had the privilege of photographing these adorable BFF's! Cambria, who is TWO today (a little beauty who I have been lucky enough to photograph since she was in mommy's tummy), and Ivy, who is 18 months and the sweetest little thing! I just met Ivy today and she didn't mind one bit being in front of the camera - neither did Cambria. What a wonderful thing that the beautiful moms of these two beauties are also very good friends. view more photos by clicking "read more" below!
I have had the privilege of photographing these beautiful children before and this time I was lucky enough to add mom and dad and new baby brother! This family just oozes love and I had so much fun visiting with everyone. Dad and I have known each other for about 14 years. It's so great to see how our friends' lives go, and in the case of this friend, it is going pretty good I think! These two are creating a beautiful family. Big sister is 9, middle brother is 6, and new baby boy is 3 weeks old. You guys are truly raising such beautiful babies who are so healthy and happy! view more photos by clicking "read more" below!

When there is a photographer in the family - there is bound to be a crazy spur of the moment idea to make her whole family coordinate clothing and meet to have a photo shoot. That's exactly what happened this lovely Friday evening. I text everyone this morning telling them what to wear, where to meet, and this was the result. I do this every year but this is the first time we coordinated. I love how well we all matched and how much fun we had. I even had a friend of our family come to push the button on the remote. It's very hard to be the photographer when I have to also be in the photos. :) view more photos by clicking "read more" below!
This gorgeous location was a perfect setting for this family. When you have such good looking people to photograph, and the location is just as stunning, it's easy to capture some pretty awesome images. We had a lot of fun today in the bright sunshine, fresh air, and playing in the leaves. view more photos by clicking "read more" below!
I love when I can come to a photo session and spend the time laughing and visiting with my clients. My husband actually grew up down the street from mom so we have a lot of history with this family. They sure are raising wonderful boys who are kind, respectful, and they sure do love each other. view more photos by clicking "read more" below!
This. Family. Was. So. Much. Fun! I am still giggling from our session. When we did the "funny faces" their one little guy was laughing so much and I was happy to have captured that. Then, when mom and dad were kissing in the background, of course, I had four little munchkins thoroughly grossed out. I am happy to have had the opportunity to photograph this family. Their oldest son is such a gentleman who helped me carry my stuff to my car when we were done. Their daughter has the most AMAZING blue eyes (which really stand out when everyone else in the family have those beautiful brown eyes). Their two youngest boys blew me away with how polite and sweet they were. Mom and dad sure are raising them right. Not only are they a great looking family, but their personalities shine. Did I say how much fun this was? The bench that they are sitting on is from the crib that all 4 of these cuties used as babies. How special to capture these images on such a special piece of furniture. view more by clicking "read more" below
This family was so much fun to spend this Saturday with! It was fun playing with the kids and snapping some photos. Big brother sure had fun wanting to do so many different things such as "diving" off the dock or the ledge to the beach. Middle sister is the cutest little thing ever and sure had fun swinging. And then, when daddy played with baby boy, the giggles and BIG smiles came out. Mom and dad sure have a beautiful family and I was so happy to capture some happy memories for them. view more by clicking "read more" below
I was so excited to get contacted for this photoshoot! This lovely lady asked me to come capture photos of just her and her dog. And I totally understood this! My furry baby is so special to me so I knew that this would be so fun and extra special. These two are the very best friends! see more by clicking "read more" below!
I grew up with the beautiful Cheshire Cat pictured below. We met way back in elementary school and ever since then our friendship has been amazing! She is the best and I love that each Halloween she gets her kids and hubby involved in some really cool group costume idea and it always turns out great! This one was especially fun and I was thrilled to capture it! We have the Queen of Hearts, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, and the little one is Alice. SO CUTE and CREATIVE!! I borrowed my grandma's collection of teacups and saucers and we set up this fun scene. I can't wait to see what she thinks of next year. click "read more" to see more of the fun photos we captured today!
I have the most supportive family! When I mentioned that I want to venture around this photography idea they jumped on the offer from me to use them to practice on. Besides, who can resist those sweet smiles? I am so thankful for this family - we had a lot of fun!
