Deah

This woman is beautiful inside and out... and I have her to thank for my husband - because she's his mom. :) This was the first time taking pictures of her and we had so much fun! I love her smile - and her eyes remind me of Joe. I'm thankful for her and love her dearly. I love that she was my first shoot during my "mini-session marathon"! :) Thanks for letting me take your pictures, Deah!

Here is her sneak peek!

Jared, Brandy, Henry, Ethan, & Kennedy

Brandy had the great idea of doing our shoot at a pumpkin patch. We didn't plan on it being hot, though. :) It was definitely better than being cold! The kids had grown just since their June pictures! Henry was so good at smiling when asked. Ethan has the cutest squint-eyed laugh, and Kennedy constantly has her tongue out. They are so cute! Ethan and Henry brought their soccer balls to play with - so fun! :) Jared and Brandy, you have a beautiful family! Thanks for braving the heat, making the drive, and letting me take your pictures!

Here are a few of my favorites!

Ashton, Cale, Landon, & Reece

Kristen and Jeff have four (adorable) boys - and another boy due next month! Seriously, these boys are beyond cute. Not only that, but they are fun, silly, AND good listeners! I was impressed with how each of the boys acted during our shoot. I got SO many shots in just 30 minutes, it was hard to narrow them down! It was fun to see the brothers interact - Ashton (the oldest) was great at helping Reece (the youngest) sit still. Cale (2nd born) always gave a smile and Landon (3rd born) was the goofball with the cute toothless smile! :) We shot at a park I hadn't shot at before, and it was gorgeous. It was perfectly overcast (and even a bit warm). I had a blast! I love the last shot - the boys being "tough". :) Kristen, it was wonderful to meet you and your family - good luck as you welcome your 5th boy! :)

Here are just a few of my favorites!

Lindsay, Liam, & Simon

I have had the privilege and honor of watching Liam grow up through pictures - he's getting so big! Now I'm honored to include Simon in that! It's always fun to see Lindsay, too. ;) We planned this fall session quite a while back... not knowing it would be almost 80 degrees out! The boys did great - it was so cute watching them interact. Simon smiles for Liam in the sweetest way! Both of these boys love their mama... so adorable. We had beautiful colors to shoot around! Liam wanted to wear his leather jacket to match his mom... so precious.

Tim, Denise, & their family

I love this family. My husband does, too. In fact - he was jealous I got to hang out with them to take their pictures. :) Maybe next time I'll send Joe to do the shoot... ;) Denise had taken the time to scout some beautiful spots for us - soooo pretty! I love new locations! Thatcher and Colt are so cute! Thatcher wanted to explore everything. Colt would stop whatever he was doing and smile if you sang "The itsy bitsy spider" (or a variety of other songs). As I was taking a large family photo, two people riding horses went past us! That's a first on a shoot for me! They let the kids pet the horses - SO nice of them! When I was taking a picture of Tim and Denise with their grandsons, the parents were behind me singing and being all sorts of silly to get the kids to look/smile. I had to capture that... :) Overall we had a great shoot - with great weather!

Trevor : Senior

I hadn't done a morning shoot in a long time, but I'm SO glad that's what worked out for Trevor's senior pictures! The light was gorgeous, there was no wind, and the temperature was perfect. Trevor has so many interests and talents. He can play a variety of instruments, loves to read, enjoys learning, and will be going to college to become an engineer. We started at a favorite location of mine, then headed to Trevor's dad's house for the rest. What a great idea! We were able to tie in some sentimental things that represent how much he has grown/changed. There is a willow tree in his dad's back yard that was just a small tree when he was little... then the dock he used to play on... and his childhood treehouse! I don't know if Trevor was as excited as his mom and I were, but I thought it was pretty cool.

Trevor - have a great senior year, and early congrats to you on graduating!

Brenna : 6 months

I know time flies, but wasn't she just born?? It's crazy that her newborn session was 6 months ago... Rochelle and Zack are rocking the whole parenting thing and finding their groove. Brenna is so cute and squishy! :) She is getting good at sitting up by herself (apparently that started just a few days before this session - perfect timing!). Normally Brenna is all smiles, but she missed her morning nap the day of our session and wasn't too happy about it. Not to worry - we met up another day and got a few of her precious happy face. :)
