Oh, how the times have changed! This sweet angel face-LOVE her!! So fun to see her smiling face this morning. Her parents and I were laughing this morning about how when I first started to photograph Taylor several years ago-it was a tough job! She didn’t want to have much to do with the process to be honest. 🙂 However, year-after-year we’ve developed a relationship that is full of laughter and we make it fun. She so enjoyed herself today and although I think I say this every year, this really might be the best year yet. I just LOVE these photos of her! Thanks Meg and Brian for sharing your girl with me and for always having such great spirits. You guys are all a joy to work with! Enjoy your little sneak peek!

One of my absolute favorite families came to see me on Saturday for a session! I just adore these sweet girls. My very favorite thing to capture in a family portrait session is emotion-most especially love and laughter! This session was all about that. You will see smiles, laughter, mischief, and lots of good ol’ hugs and lovin’! We had the best time and it is always a joy to see these beautiful ladies and watch them grow up. They become more and more beautiful all the time. So glad that Katie and Ward joined in on the fun this time, too. The family shots are some of the favorites I’ve had in quite some time. And there’s lots more to come! Thanks for sharing your beautiful girls with me! They just really make me smile so much!

I have been photographing these gorgeous big brown eyes since Jackson was just a teeny-tiny little preemie baby. But look at him now!! Such a big boy and growing up so fast. I can hardly believe he’s already 5-years-old and in kindergarten! He is a talker, too! Just talked and talked to me the entire session on Saturday and had all of us just laughing the entire time. What a sweetheart! I can only imagine the joy this little boy brings to your home, Jack and Heidi! He sure is a special gift from God! I know you are so proud of him. Thanks for always sharing him with me and allowing me to capture memories for you! Now-if I could just figure out how to freeze time and keep him little forever! 🙂 

WOW! This session was so much fun! I’ve been working with these two little loves since they were both little bitty babies. Can hardly believe that Nora is starting Kindergarten in August, and that Allie is two. Time really does go by so very quickly. I consider this sweet family not just clients, but my friends! It’s the best to get hugs at the beginning of a session because its like meeting up with old friends, and then getting them again at the end of the session because you had so much fun together and are grateful for the smiles and laughter that just transpired. So happy to continue to document their growing up years. Love, love, love these images and this great family! 🙂

Love these ones of Allie in her hat! Hat photos are so much fun!!

These girls…so pretty! I just couldn’t stop blogging them! 🙂

This was what we saw for most of Griffin’s session…him walking (or running!) away from me and my camera! haha! But, you know, I still LOVE this photo soo much. The sweetness of his curls and little bare feet. Looks so sweet and innocent doesn’t it? Love! Little Griffin had one purpose for this session and it was for me to capture him at 2-years-old for his portrait to match with his 3 older siblings. He is adorable and he is busy! 🙂 Love this kid. I adore his big eyes and precious smile and the way he liked for his mom and I to sing to him. Who knew our singing could make him stop in his tracks…is that a good thing? HA! Love what we ended up with, and that he made us work to get it! Even Mom and big sis Emily joined in on the fun,too! Precious family! Enjoy!

These next few are my favorites because there is an old antique fire truck behind him, and dad works for the Fire Department! Kinda cool, I think!

Aren’t they all just a beautiful family!
