There are some families that just get lifestyle photography.
They take to it so naturally and so beautifully that you wonder where they’ve been all your life!
The {TFam} was one of those families.
They loved playing with their kiddos, they loved each other.
It shows.
Enjoy!
Seven Falls, LOVE this spot!
brother + sister kisses
Brother + Sister Love! (this felt vintage to me for some reason...)
They took this concept to a new level!
Bigger version, I just fell in love with the trees.
Love.
Thank you {TFam} for allowing me to be a small part of your memories this year!
When I first changed over from a website to a blogsite, I gave away a “Beloved” Mommy + Me session to one of my fans.
The girl who won happens to be a wonderful friend.
I could go on and on about what an amazing mommy she is, but pictures tell more than I ever could with words.
I've been photographing this kiddo for two years next month, she just keeps getting more and more beautiful.
Earlier today I was looking over some material from #WPPI and I was reminded of a quote that really resonated with me,
“If you want to make work that moves people, you have to be moved while making it”
This next picture is the total summation of that concept
Complete and total love.
Thank you Mommy J and Little A for being so patient with me and allowing me to be such a huge part of your lives.
We love you both immensely, you are a testament to how difficult it is to not get attached to clients 
(this last one is just indulging me, cause Little A and my little man have wonderful moments together)

This is the story of Baby C!
Mommy with Baby C in her tummy. Beautiful as usual.
First Moments of Baby C
Meeting Mommy
Love from Daddy
Welcome, Baby C.
And just a few of the NB pictures!
Punk Rock Princess!
She let me try out my first attempt at creating a Flapper Style NB hat
This was my self indulgence, I've been wanting to do this again for a long time. I'm thinking of using this for a print competition next year, thanks Mommy
Ok this was a little indulgent too
Thanks {MFam} for continuing to let me be such a huge part of your lives.
I’m looking forward to having some awesome baby & brother photos and new family photos next month!
Meet the {BFam}
They just welcomed a brand new baby girl into their family
who is absolutely adored by both her sisters
and of course, by her parents.
Thank you so much {BFam} for inviting me into your home to share the joy of your new addition!

I REALLY really miss this family already.
Can you see that little baby bump? I've photographed Little D for nearly her whole life, I'm admittedly super sad I won't get the chance with #2!
Typical "mom" photo- mom in the background making sure dad doesn't get too crazy.
Little D with a friend
The kids decided on the water park, without swim suits.
Cause I adore outtakes- this is what happens when you try to take a photo of this many kids 3 and under!
Lots of love with you {SFam} over in Australia!
I know I’m not alone when I say we miss you
I can’t believe I’ve been photographing this family since Miss H was just starting High School!
If she looks familiar, that’s because I spend a LOT of time at her house
She’s so stinkin’ photogenic, it drives me insane. In a good way, of course.
(My favorite, of course. Thinking this will go in a #WPPI print competition this year!)
I asked her to do Photobooth style photos and she said she had never been in one! I hope her boyfriend takes her to one ASAP!
Thanks for being such a rock star, Miss H.
The {BFam} has been with me for a pretty long time
In fact, they’ve been with me since before I ever started offering “lifestyle”
So of course, when they ask every year for their traditional family portrait, I’m always willing to accommodate.
Little N just turned three…by a stroke of luck there was a tractor there.
Seriously, how lucky is that. If you have had a three year old boy, you would understand!
SUCH a cutie.
Even though they love their traditional portraits, I think they rock the lifestyle stuff.
Thanks {BFam}. It’s always a pleasure!
