Party of Seven!

When this family of seven called to book a session and mentioned they had this old Chevy pickup truck that was her husband's since he was 15 yrs old - I thought super cool.  Then when they selected a location on nearby farmland - I knew I was going to have a field day (pun intended).  I absolutely love the backdrops on a farm!  But looking at these beautiful five children it wouldn't even matter the backdrop!  These kids were amazing to hang out with - the one and only little boy couldn't have had bigger eyes when he spotted the large tractors...he was so excited!!  And, with a first birthday celebration last week for their baby girl, we were able to get some fun birthday photos!!  Here are some fun ones to share....

and this was just too cute for words...

A Fun Morning Session!

What a privilege to photograph these three kiddos again!  Since they are all friends with my own kids I already know their fun personalities!  I felt like I was on a play date with this future Writer, Superhero and Princess....shhh, don't let my kids know I was out having fun with their friends!

Totally Fun Family

This totally fun (and busy) family took a break to spend time together and enjoy each other as we captured some beautiful family time!  It was so fun getting to know them better and these kids really rocked their session with tons of cooperation and great ideas!!  Thanks for the great session!!  

Love-ly Fall Day!

Gorgeous Couple + Gorgeous Fall Day = Amazing Engagement Session!  I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with this young couple as they celebrated their engagement!  Couldn't be sweeter...it was so fun to be a part of this special time in their lives.  Here's a peek at what we captured during our session!  

A beautiful Day!

Today was special for me as I got to spend time with a dear friend and her family that I don't get to see often enough.  This young, hip mom and I hold way too many memories together from our waitressing days!  We were in each other's weddings and I'll never forget the day she had her first baby....and this month he will be getting his drivers license!  What??  How did that happen?  She and her hubby turned out four wonderful boys!!  You go girl!  I couldn't help but get a few of the images from today up on the blog for you guys....thanks for the fun day!  Soooo good to see your family!

and we had a beautiful hot air balloon sighting during our session.....

All Aboard!

These three boys had a ball hanging out by the tracks and checking out the train cars!  What an amazing fall day we picked to capture family photos!  Such cute boys with the bluest eyes!!  These little guys had totally fun personalities and were such great models!  Beautiful family on a beautiful fall night!!  Thanks guys! Here's a quick sneak peek...

and meet the photographer in training.....

Happy First Birthday!

This little sweetheart celebrates her first first birthday this month!  Happy Birthday sweet baby girl!  She was so much fun and enjoyed this beautiful fall day photo session as much as I did!!  She has the sweetest smile and cutest personality - ok, I'm a little biased...she is my niece and Goddaughter!!    Here is a sneak peek at what we captured yesterday afternoon!

  And a storyboard idea for the birthday girl....

Ready to Play!

What a fun afternoon I spent with three adorable children who were ready to play!  From wagon rides to  catching crickets, laughing about it raining gumballs to finding even more crickets - these cuties did great!!  It was so much fun meeting you!!  Here's a quick peek at last night's session....   

and meet 'Hoppy'....one of our new cricket friends

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Could these little girls be any cuter?  I think not!!  How fun to see how excited baby sister got when big sister came anywhere close...she flashed the biggest smile!  You can tell that she already looks up to her big sis.  And big sister, at two years old, had the most fun imagination ever (I just love that age)!!  I seriously had to check the mirror when I got home to see if I really had a pink cupcake on my head!  Just a sweet family.....here's a quick peek!!

loved big sisters' little shoes!! a 16x20 storyboard idea!

I even learned the rock-n-roll version of 'Rock-a-Bye Baby'!
