here we go...

Oh my! With the holiday this week, I'm afraid I've gotten a little bit behind in my posting and processing. If you are waiting on a sneek peek of your session or waiting for your disc...I'm cracking them out this weekend. I promise they are on their way!

Starting with this lovely fam.

I'm so happy with these images!

Another beautiful family to work with, I am seriously so very lucky.

The two girls are unbelievably beautiful and the dresses that they wore for our session were so fun. I totally appreciatted the contrast of their fanciness against the dirt, nature and trees around us. Perfect.

Madison
(isn't she wonderful?)

Carley
(i love her little tongue barely sticking out here)

(oh how I adore this picture below)

So very sweet.




The colors they chose were perfect at this location.

A couple of my most favorite of the whole family together...

Josh and Melissa really had to strategize to get a picture of just the two of them. We had to work quick...the girls weren't having any of it when we tried to do it. But we grabbed a few and they are perfect! :)

Thank you guys so much for our time spent together. I really enjoyed it and your family is just so beautiful!!!

I hope you are happy with what you see!

the sweetest of sisters

oh my. i have SO been looking forward to posting from this session! these two little ones are so incredibly beautiful. and they were just as enjoyable to be around as they are gorgeous.

miss Jolie...

and her little sister Jordin...

they are pretty close in age and each have such different personalities.

it was fun to watch them and get to know a little bit about who they are.
.sweet sisters.

I couldn't get over their hair! This was such a great spot for bringing out the brightness, with such a great contrast against the greens and yellows of the area.

I walked away with quite a few treasures to look through!

I am very pleased with what we captured that day. Their natural beauty is so evident and really comes through the images.

And we even got the chance to take a family picture while we were out there. I love how it turned out!

What a sweet family.

Thank you all so very much for our morning together.

Enjoy!

the "L" fam

ok. This family was serious fun to work with. They each had wonderful personalities, so together... they were a great group to snap away at! It was a joy to be with their children, who were all very bright and life-filled...and I was very excited to be in a new location where I had never done a session before.

That filled me with inspiration.

Something about this family totally took me back to when I was a little girl. Their little unit kind of reminded me in some ways of the family I was born into and growing up with my sisters.

There were many special moments to be caught here...and I did my best to be aware of as many of them as I could be!

Some of the images that we got really, really make me stop and look for a while. This one...
And this one...
Are two of my favorite.
But it is hard to play favorites with this session, because there ended up being quite a few that I fell in love with.

Let me share.

These two of the family all together make me so, SO happy.

I can't get over how much I love this picture:

And this one has so much fun inside of it:
Love this one of little "M" on the bench. That is M, right Danielle? ;) The twins looked so much alike. I usually pride myself on being able to tell twins apart, since I grew up with older twin sisters (not to mention I married a twin as well)...but these two were tough.

Both so beautiful and so pleasant. I'm still not sure that I have it right.

Aren't they fun?

Thank you so much L family! You guys really were so great to be around and I hope you enjoy the images that we captured.

Your family is amazing!

cousins

I had the sweet privilege of documenting a little bit of time with these cute kiddos. They were fun...and the session was really great experience for me.

There were five of them all together and that was a bit challenging at times because we all know that each person has different ideas and moods all at the same time, right! ;) Courtney (one of the mamas of this group) wanted to do it at her beautiful home, which was nice because they were all very comfortable there.

I snagged a few shots of each of them on their own...

I love this one by their wood pile.

When I saw this, I thought "oh perfect" since the kids were wearing browns and creams.

And we did our best to get a shot of them on this sweet chair that Courtney has in her house.

They were a great group!

And such beautiful kids, don't you think?

Thanks Courtney and Julie for having me come out and try to catch some moments with your awesome kids!

They were a lot of fun and it was a really good experience for me.

I hope we managed to get what you were looking for!

just beautiful

This family just radiates kindness! I got to meet and stalk them(hee hee) last weekend in such a beautiful place. And their children, oh their children are just gems.

They came prepared to feed the ducks out on the lake and had such a great time doing it. It really was a fun location for the kids and it offered plenty of beautiful bright green grass. I loved that. I also loved this dock.

Here is Caleb.

Doesn't he look like such a little gentleman?

That is because he is.

Truly.

So very sweet.

And equally as sweet is his little sister Caitlin, who...as you can tell, is just brimming with life.
The two of them together was fun for me to try and capture. They each had their own agenda of course, but they listened so well and had as much patience as they possibly could.

Father and son.

Mother and daughter.

The biggest reason for this session was for Caitlin's 2 year pictures. She was so fun to follow around. She has lots of energy and stayed in good spirits the whole time we were together.
And I loved the dress she had on...it totally snazzes up the pictures!

My favorite of the entire family together....

Thank you so much Ryan, Karrie, Caleb and Caitlin.

I had a great time spending my morning with you!!
