The C Family

I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun it was to photograph this couple and their little guy!  After weeks of sending e-mails back and forth, nailing down their session date, visiting by phone, thinking through locations, attire and props, and praying the weather would be pleasant, the time finally came to have them in front of the camera!

We met at their house and then made some stops through their small town (so much to work with there!) before we headed to a nearby public pond.

I really enjoyed getting to visit with them, learn about their lives and was amazed to discover our families had quite a few things in common.  🙂  I walked away from this session with a full heart…I love all that was captured for them through pictures, but I was especially touched by the obvious adoration these parents have for their son!

By the way, this little man’s Dad loves to hunt and is a volunteer firefighter for their area…you will see this represented in their pictures.

I love the honesty of children…do you think little C was growing tired of taking pictures?  🙂

It was confirmed with the following picture, Mr. C was done sitting here…

I remember the first time I looked through all the pictures from this session, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.  Their joy just made me smile.  Did you find yourself doing the same?  🙂

C Family, thanks again for asking me to take still photos of this sweet time in your lives!  Wishing the best to all three of you!

Baby H

I am so excited to be blogging about my session with this sweet, little guy!  He was so tiny, so cuddly, so super cute!  I loved getting to take his pictures!

I have really enjoyed having his parents in front of my camera numerous times through the years, following their relationship journey from the beginning.  It has been a privilege to watch their lives unfold and to be a part of it in a small but meaningful way.

We connected for baby H’s session at “his” house and captured pictures of him in the room this first time Mom and Dad lovingly put together for him.

We took pictures in the living room, where he is sure to romp about all too soon.

Then we headed outdoors, since the weather was warm enough, and snapped away.

In the following picture, we used items that were a part of the wedding decorations when this little guy’s Mom and Dad were married.  I love sentimental things like that!  🙂

The blanket used in the next few pictures was made by one of H’s Grandmas.  It is super soft!

Many of us had pets before having children.  While they maintain a special place within our family things do change a little.  🙂  The cat in this family is steadily adjusting to the newest member of the family, checking him out from time to time and reclaiming one of her favorite places once we finished using it for pictures.  🙂  H and the cat, Gorgeous, are going to make some good memories together as he grows up, that is for sure!

C – 2013 Senior

Our family goes to church with C and his family.  It is hard to believe he is a senior this year but it is also exciting to have an ongoing view of how things are unfolding for him and his near future!  It was a lot of fun visiting, planning and working with C and his family as we narrowed down exactly what they desired in their pictures.  I am honored to have captured these memories to represent C’s last year of High School.  I am also thrilled to say I got to go for a quick spin in his cool car at the end of our session.  I will always remember that.  🙂  Thanks, C.

God best to you as you continue to follow His lead for the future!
