Craig, Leah, Caleb, Claire, & Caitlin

I know it's been a year since their shoot last fall, but it's crazy how much kids can grow and change in  that amount of time! Craig and Leah are light-hearted and fun, and their kids take after them. :) Claire was so cute with her posing, Caitlin gave the biggest smiles, and Caleb had great silly faces. ;) Craig and Leah are in ministry as well, so that's always a fun connection. We had a fun shoot - and the kids did great!

Here is their sneak peek!

Elisha, Sarah, & Gizmo

It was fun to see Sarah - and I must admit it made me feel a little bit old! :) My sister used to babysit her years ago...! Now she's married with a cute little puppy dog! Sarah and Elisha are so cute - and even though Elisha would tell you otherwise, he's quite photogenic. :) Gizmo was so sweet - and did great looking at the camera!

Casey, Angie, Lena, & Claire

I was so excited to see this family! I consider them dear friends, but unfortunately I hadn't seen them since last year for Lena's one-year pics! Now Lena is an older sister - to sweet baby Claire. :) Claire slept through the whole session, and Lena said "cheese" a hundred times in her cute little voice. We wanted to get a sister picture, and Lena is so cute and tiny that she had a hard time holding Claire - but we got it! :)

Here's their sneak peek!

Ryan, Renee, & Jack

I thought I was meeting this family for the first time, but we realized we had met before! I helped shoot the wedding of Renee's best friend, so she was a bridesmaid in it. Then, I shot a wedding where Ryan was one of the groomsmen! It is a small world... :) Jack is so cute! He's close in age to my Ezra, so I really enjoyed him! He is a sweetheart and listened so well! Renee and Ryan did well, too. ;)

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! :)
