Irina • Jon • Laura

This was the fourth time I've gotten to take this families pictures. I met little Laura when she was just six months old. I even got to be at her first birthday party! Every time I'm with Irina I feel like I could just keep talking forever. I loved the mix of this location and the yellows and oranges. Absolutely beautiful! It helps that the family is gorgeous to begin with:) My favorite thing with this shoot was that Laura kept calling me "jammies"..."bye bye jammies." Thanks for the fun guys!

BFF's

I recently went on a road trip to meet up with friends since everyone is moving around the world. These girls each have a little piece of my heart. I entered this self-timer photo in a "love" photography competition on Pioneer Woman. It was featured! Makes me smile. Thanks PW.

Jen • Erik • Collin

I am loving watching little Collin grow up. First here, then here, and now today. His big blue eyes are for real. STUNNING. I have always loved watching the love he gets from his family. One lucky boy! I can't get over how fast kids grow and change. We really do need to cherish their tininess. 

Messemer Family!

Not only did I get to have fun with this family, we also got to include a couple cousins! Have I mentioned how much I am jealous of people that live close to family...sure do miss mine living across the country! These guys were such good sports, sometimes one-year-olds have a mind of their own and they really went with the flow. I just love the colors in these. Such a fun and kind family!

I love this picture because right after it the jealous son said, "No one loves me." Guess we should have had everyone give him a kiss too!

Hailey's Bridals

The weather nearly took away our fun for these bridals, but in the end it was a beautiful evening with beautiful light. I love this castle location. I can't get over how breathtaking Hailey looks. Simply beautiful! Congrats to her and Shawn!

Jumping for Joy!

I've been taking pictures with my phone and entering them in the current contest that Pioneer Woman is having. My photo was featured! I saw it and literally started jumping up and down, while holding my baby, with my back brace on because I threw it out recently. Thanks PW, you made my day!

You can see the post here, mine is the 4th one down. Ooo, four is my lucky number, this could mean great things for me!

Bella • Enzo

It was about a year ago that I met Shelly. She was beautiful for her maternity pictures. This time I got to meet the new little boy. Ok, well, a year flew by, but we'll still call him little...because if he's little then my Lucy is little since they are a few months apart! I couldn't believe how much Bella had grown when she answered the door. Such cute kids!
