This family is striking!  I loved working with them, everyone was so nice and down to earth, they were all up for anything, including throwing leaves, (I love that shot!)  Mom is a fab volleyball coach so I hope to see a lot more of her, now that Taylor is old enough to start diving into my favorite sport. Thanks for a wonderful morning!

Ali is a great girl!  She was so fun to work with, she came with a fab wardrobe, (gotta love those soccer cleats) and she was so easy going and nice!  I loved getting to know you Ali!!!

I always love when people come from out of town for a session, we shot on a drizzly morning and had to wait it out a bit, but it was worth it, it turned into scrumptious light.  I love catching sibling moments and  huggy family shots, they ordered this one in the barnwood frame from the World of Work program and it was gorgeous!  Thanks guys for a fun morning!

Katie worked it, we had so much fun during her session!  Katie is a cheerleader at Senior, I loved getting to know her, she is funny and outgoing, and was giving me America’s Next Top model pics, like the one at the end of the post.  She has the most wonderful smile and gorgeous baby blues.  Thanks Katie for a great morning!

I am thankful for so many things, this post would be endlessly long if I were to list all of my blessings, but I do have to definitely recognize and give a shout out to my amazing, supportive, loving family that keeps me on my toes but grounded at the same time, they help me remember what is truly important.  I am thankful for my fabulous friends/clients.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving day filled with love and lots of delish food!  I couldn’t post without sharing pics.  Love this family – check out their maternity shoot here.

Such a talented senior!!! Bryce is a fab soccer player, skier, and plays an instrument, he has all the moves!  oh and did I mention what a good guy he is too?  I have no doubt he has an amazing future ahead!

This was such a great shoot!  Unfortunately, I was already booked and not able to photograph their wedding, but they felt it was important to have  some amazing pics of them as a couple so they decided to do a love shoot instead.  It was so wonderful to see them so hopelessly in love and adoring of each other.  They love to go out dancing so we had to be sure to show that side of them. It’s obvious that finding love is amazing at any age!  Congrats!

Had to share more minis with you – love these short and sweet shoots, we always get great images, I love seeing the Christmas cards that come in from these sessions.  So much fun!

When I asked mom what Luke was into the only response was – soccer – he is passionate about everything soccer and plays nonstop.  He has the coolest kicks, plays indoor, outdoor and street soccer whenever he has time, it is his “thing”.  Luke was the nicest kid, those soccer guys are all great,  I did a couple of weddings this year with soccer guys as the new hubbys and they were extraordinary, I think my son Ty needs to start soccer next year 🙂  Thanks Luke for a great morning, I enjoyed getting to know you!

I love these images!!! You may recognize the first one from my Simply Family Magazine ad in Oct.  Mom made those tents for his birthday party and we decided we had to use them, they were adorable!  We went for a little walk by their house then decided to do one of their favorite things – have a water fight!  The kids were really good!  You can tell they had been playing all summer, I can testify, they had amazing aim!  I want to live at their house- what a fun family!
