7 gorgeous people, 6 beautiful horses, and the most stunning backdrop.

No other words needed. 🔥 🔥 🔥

PS: Sometimes I’ll have dad whisper something silly into mom’s ear to see if I can get a few real smiles. Occasionally I really wonder what is said because dad ends up looking pretty darn ornery! See last photo for evidence. ☺️

Saturday I had my last round of fall minis and the weather was AMAZING and so were the families! I always struggle a bit to figure out how to post sneak peeks of mini sessions so I don’t drag them out for days and days, so in no particular order a little something for each of those who asked for a sneak!

Gahh! As we were setting this up, I said never again for this many trees, but now that it’s coming into the almost complete phase maybe that’s not true! I know fall colors are what everyone covets, but I’m forever and always a Christmas gal.

I’ve been photographing this family for two years. Big brother’s first Christmas, his first birthday, another Christmas with little brother still baking away, and now TWO little boys running the show. Well, one running the show and the other just looking ridiculously adorable with approximately seventeen baby rolls and the squishiest cheeks EVER.

And somehow, every single time I see them, I think I spend just as much time laughing as I do taking pictures. There’s just something about these guys that makes it so darn easy to be around them. And Eleanor, my little assistant, had herself two new buddies in no time!

Last night we went at two-year-old pace (which if you’re wondering is approximately 100mph with zero room for standing in one place for more than 3 seconds), we may or may not have had deep philosophical conversation about which of us 3 adults was awkward, and we learned that throwing leaves is GREAT fun when you’re two and absolutely horrifying when you’re nine months old.

I’ve always said I sometimes blur the line between professional and personal, but after two years of watching this little family grow, laughing our way through sessions, and feeling like we’re just picking up where we left off every time we see each other, I don’t know how I couldn’t!

I’ve had sessions each evening this week, one more tomorrow, and five mini sessions on Saturday so my capacity for captions is getting a little depleted. The thing is, I could give you the cliff notes for this session and it would be just as genuine because I honestly feel like the pictures tell the entire story.  I guess that’s probably what they mean by a picture is worth 1000 words huh?

1. I edited at least 12 mosquitoes out of these photos. What month is it!?
2. This is my seventh repeat family since Saturday. I’ve said it a million times but I do not take how special that is for granted. ♥️
3. The way this mama and daddy make one another laugh is positively contagious!
4. Little mister is THE chillest baby I have EVER met. 
5. Everyone should have at least one thing in their life that brings them as much joy as this dandelion puff brought this blue eyed beauty.

Full hands, even fuller hearts.

And goodness, if that doesn’t describe this crew perfectly!

I met the two oldest at homeschool picture day last year and was smitten almost immediately so you can imagine how excited I was to get the whole family in front of my camera! And I can say with certainty that the younger three are just as easy to be smitten with. I don’t know what Mom and Dad are doing, but they’re doing something right because these five are some of the happiest, most polite, well-spoken kiddos I’ve ever captured.

Also... Can we talk about that lighting? Can we talk about those freaking outfits!? We could probably talk about 77 potty breaks as well, but I’m pretty sure that’s written into the universe somewhere that needing to go potty is contagious in the seven and under crew, so we’ll let it slide. 😂

Even though the outfits and the lighting were on point, what I loved more than anything was getting to know them a little more. The way Mom and Dad look at each other — gahhh! Five kiddos later and those two are still absolutely crushing on one other. And I swear, I could listen to Mama say her babies’ names in Spanish all day long — it makes the English versions sound SO boring!

We snapped away until the kiddos had had enough of me (which is probably good because I could’ve taken their pictures for a long lonnnng time) and on the drive home I found myself thinking how happy I was that our paths crossed. 

Oh! Speaking of full hearts… there’s a little Easter egg tucked into this sneak peek. I wonder who will catch it!

These are my people
This is where I come from
We’re giving this life everything we’ve got and then some
It ain’t always pretty
But it’s real
It’s the way we were made
Wouldn’t have it any other way
These are my people
♥️

I met this family almost exactly one year ago. Mom was pregnant, big sis became my BFF immediately, and little sis wanted nothing to do with me. In fact, she spent half the session covering her eyes.

Earlier this year, baby sister was born and I got to capture her fresh 48 session. It was during that session that I really connected with this couple and just enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level rather than a professional level. I learned about their family farm and all the hopes and dreams they have with it and then earlier this month, an inquiry came through to come out and do a documentary/lifestyle session. I’m not sure I could’ve said yes any faster!

We competed with the sun a little bit, but it was way better than competing with bedtime and I’d like to look at these pictures and believe we made magic and beauty in the mundane because wow—gorgeous! Little sis is now my BFF as well, big sis was infatuated with using my camera and is well on her way to becoming a photographer herself, and baby sis is the smiliest baby ever. And just like in the hospital, I had such a joyful time hanging with Mom and Dad and watching their pride spill over. I hope they always look back on these pictures and remember sticky sucker faces and giggles and sun drenched pigtails and the carefree, beautiful lives they made.

PS: I may or may not have sat in cow p**p but it was worth it. 💩

That one time I got photobombed by a black cow… but then she gave me a kiss, made all my farm dreams come true, and I couldn’t even be mad.

Checks “kissed by a cow” off the bucket list. ✅

Dog rescue has brought some pretty wonderful things into our lives—including our two furry hooligans—and, somewhere along the way, a pretty wonderful friend.

So when she and her sister decided to get Mom in front of the camera for a Mom & Me session, I was ALL for it. And of course we couldn’t leave out daughter number three. She’s furry, walks on four legs, and don’t tell the others, but I’m pretty sure she’s the favorite. 😂

And Mom?! An absolute HOOT. She was giving her girls bunny ears, laughing through half the session, completely game for all of our shenanigans, and eventually coming up with her own poses. On my way to this session, I was a little bit worried because I’m so used to working with the ten-and-under crowd, but these beautiful ladies made my job perfectly easy. ♥️
