MICAH...

Micah quickly became one of my all time favorite kids after his session.  I've seriously never met such a nice, friendly, polite, handsome, funny young guy.  He is going to grow up to be quite the catch, i'm sure.   His dream for this session was this right here... the woods, the camo, the gun. 

But we made sure mom had some great pictures to send to grandma too ;)

Isn't he just so handsome?!!

blessings...

This "job" has truly been a blessing to me.  And one of the biggest blessings of doing photography is families like this one.  I left this session so full of joy.   I love capturing kids being kids and that is just exactly what we did with this session.  We got the family photo out of the way right at the beginning so that it would be all fun times after.  Aren't they beautiful?

These boys were just so much fun... my cheeks hurt from smiling when i left.

 

See what I mean?  Lots of silliness, lots of memories.

And we can't forget about mom and dad, these images are treasure just as much as the whole family shots.

When i was done with all images, this one was probably one of my favorites!!!

OH sweet boys!

Because Bubbles....

I can never predict how a 2-3 year old will act once they meet me for the first time and a session.  I'm always prepared with high-fives, stuffed animals and bribery but you still just never know.  

This sweet girl was no exception.  She wasn't so sure about me at first and it took a few photos with mom and dad before she finally warmed up.  After that though, she was all smiles and giggles and cuteness.  And what child can resist BUBBLES!!!  I absolutely love this image in all its perfect childhood beauty.

After we played with bubbles, we wandered over to play in the field with these pretty little wildflowers.  She picked her favorites ones and then she sat so pretty and posed with them.

We had gray clouds at the start but right when we got to this field, the sun broke through and made these images all the more perfect.

And you know i can't resist some black and white!!

and her smile....

Wood/Wirfel Engagement

I decided to get caught up on blogging... this could seriously take a while.  I'll start though with this beautiful couple that I have the honor of capturing on their wedding day in September. And after this nearly perfect engagement session, I am even more excited to be a part of their special day!

This was one of the very first pictures we took and it was clear that the evening was going to be wonderful.

My husband and I had cheesy backdrop, super posed picture engagement pictures and oh how i would do anything to have photos like this to look back on.

Truly a beautiful young couple and they have a beautiful future ahead of them...

Congrats, Frank and Lynn!
