There is nothing more beautiful than the beginning. Of course it’s chaos and messy and tiring but it’s beautiful all the same. And you’ll look back in it and you’ll (mostly) only remember the magic. So here’s to the magic...and the beauty ❤️

Photographing their wedding a year and a half ago was an honor. And to see them on another amazing adventure as parents was amazing. They are naturals and their little guy was the happiest sweetest baby...even with the cold temps. Look at that little face. I just cannot help smiling when I look through their session! Can’t wait to see what new adventures 2018 brings for this little family.

I can’t believe how much they’ve changed even in 1 year.  They are older more outgoing and of course with a family of 8...a lot of fun and craziness during the session.  I really do adore them.  They love each other and make me laugh so much.  And they way they all take care of the baby...priceless.  Another great year ❤️

Their last session with me before they were a family of 4! Love the S family and can’t wait to meet their little guy!

It was a chilly morning but the joy and ease they show when they are together made its way into their photographs. There was laughter, smiles and spinning in the cool grass. Thank you F family ❤️.

This.  This is what it looks like when you let them play...run and play.  This session just captured my heart so much.  They laughed and smiled and ran and collected dandelions.  They adore one another....can't you tell?

We could not have asked for a more gorgeous Fall day!  But it isn't the weather that makes the session...it's the way this family is connected.  They laughed hard, and played together...that's what I love to capture with families...their connection.  What makes a family session a success?  It's not the perfectly planned outfits (although these are top notch!) or the everyone looking, smiling pic...it's being yourselves with all the tickles, smiles and exploring together.

You can see it when they are together....a connect and a sense of fun and adventure. I don’t often get the chance to photograph families with children in the middle school years...with busy schedules and growing kiddos...their lives are busy. But look at this photos....this is why it is so incredibly important. You want them to remember what it was like at this crazy busy time in your lives...remember what it’s like to play together, run around a park, play on a baseball field as a family...not just two parents watching their girls play from the stands. You’ll blink and they will be High School Seniors. Take just an hour...and afternoon and capture this time in your lives as a family.

The girls have changed so much in the last few years and I am honored beyond belief to spend another session with them. I enjoy telling thief story with a blend of play and posed portraits so that they look back not only knowing how they looked but how it felt to be together as a family...as sisters. E family...you have such a special place in my heart ❤️.
