Lebanon Hills Couple Mini Session: Tracy & Brett

I always liked Tracy. I was blessed to photograph both of her kids senior portraits over the last few years and loved her personality and bright smile. When she contacted me about a mini session to capture images of her and her husband, Brett- I knew it would be fun and easy.  

I pulled in to Lebanon Hills and stepped out to the hot summer day. The bright sun was a stark and welcome contrast to the recent rain, storms and flooding.  These two have such a wonderful love and it was a joy to photograph it for them.  Here is a glimpse into our fun time together: 

Thomas Lake Park Mini Session: The Strouf Family!

      I admire this family so much. Four children in less than three years. Twin boys. And a whole lot of laughter and love.  With two boys of my own, I can imagine the chaos that marks this family's life. But they are not defined by it. They are defined by the joy experienced.  They savor the sweet moments, and they take one beautiful day at a time.  I was in awe of the relaxed way Jason and Sarah take care of these four little sweethearts.  They are calm, cool and collected and it shows as their children are kind, loving, and were wonderful to photograph! By the end of the session, I had an adorable little girl holding my hand!  I am blessed to do what I do! 

 Here is a look into our mini session: 

 

 

Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to meet your family and showcase the love that you all feel!  

The Beautiful Braun Family

This family is exactly why I love what I do.  I have had the precious privilege of capturing their family as it grew over the last 14 months.  First, we met for maternity portraits, (see their session HERE), and then again once their adorable son was born, (HERE).  Just a few weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing their ONE year old.  Where does time go?  Last time I saw him he could barely open his sweet little eyes.  Now he is walking, running, and exploring. Blonde haired, blue eyed boys always have a special place in my heart as that is what my own son looks like, and Kevin is just that!   I LOVED their willingness to bring along fun props like his construction hat, truck and then my favorite, his first taste of cake!

Here is glimpse at a family who is near and dear to my heart and a boy who you can't help but love the second you see him!

Maple Grove Family Session: Shannon, Robert & Kevin

Kevin was everything you'd expect a newborn to be: unpredictable and adorable. He wanted to be held, loved his nuk and couldn't have been any cuter. What a joy it was to photograph him in his first weeks of life! Our session last month was breezy but beautiful and so fun. I had the honor of photographing Shannon & Robert this summer for their Maternity sesssion. You can view a few of those images here. We decided to stick with the same location this fall and the results of their little guy were great! Here are a few favorites:

Families like this are the reason why I do what I do and why I love it. To watch them go from a couple to a sweet family is just beautiful!

Thank you Shannon, Robert and sweet baby Kevin for allowing me in to your lives and giving me the honor of photographing these significant moments in your lives!
