Great Big Happy Family

This was my first time photographing a family this big, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous! But, it went really well and smoothly and I just love these images. They are all so adorable and I LOVE the outfits and colors they chose.

Massey Family

Being able to take this little family's pictures in between two extended family sessions was a breath of fresh air! They were so much fun, and their little boy just loved the camera. I didn't have to bribe him at all! haha. Here's a preview of the fun that day.

Mother & Daughters shoot!

Last Monday I had the opportunity to do a shoot for just a mom and her daughters. It was so fun, and I love that she wanted to do this shoot. Something important for all mothers to do! And check out those cute outfits! I'm going to brag on the mom a bit, she made those adorable dresses the two youngest are wearing. So. freaking. adorable. Okay, onto the pictures!

Daddy is overseas, but we still found a way to incorporate him in the photo shoot!

 At the end we had some dreamy backlight that I couldn't let go to waste, so I busted out the glitter I'd been saving!  The girls LOVED it.  It was so much fun!

Ball Family

It's here! The fall season is upon us, and I am BOOKED. Thank you to everyone for keeping me busy! 

The first family to go was the Ball family. If they look familiar to you it's because I did a newborn session for them a year ago. How time flies! I loved this session so much. Every time I sit down to edit these I find more that I love, and more favorites. Here is taste of their beautiful family!

Engaged!

Monday night I got to do something really fun and unique for me...an engagement session! I love to photograph couples and it's such a nice change from yelling at toddlers! This adorable couple is so beautiful and were so much fun to take pictures of.  They were total naturals in front of the camera and it's clear from these pictures how much they love each other.  I loved being able to capture that for them.  Enjoy these!

Happy Valentines Day!

Petersen's

Last Saturday I got to photograph a couple! It was so much fun and such an awesome change of pace. I'm so used to family sessions where I'm always trying to get little ones' attention. It was so nice to have people who actually took direction! haha. It was little awkward for me at first, but I quickly moved past it and we got some really beautiful shots. The Groves were swarming that day, so after awhile we walked around the church that's also on that property, and even crossed the busy street to explore the pretty farmland. It was a blast! Enjoy these!

Lunt Family

I love when I get to reconnect with old friends. I met Jessica back in college, 8 years ago, and I hadn't seen her in years! I was so excited when she asked me to do her family's pictures. We went out to the Groves, and man that place was packed! It's a very popular spot for photographers these days, and on a Saturday in October it was the most packed I'd ever seen it! We eventually found a spot no one was at and got down to business. This family was a lot of fun! I also learned that caramels are a very powerful bribing tool ;).  Enjoy!

Gardiner Family

Here is a preview of the second session I had on Saturday.  Aren't they beautiful?

Look at his eyes!  They are naturally that color.  I did not enhance them!

Seriously.  Stop it.  These kids are too cute!

And so are their parents.

Thanks for letting me take your pictures guys!  Your family is so adorable :)
