The Happy Hatfields 14 October 2015

Kids crack me up and here's why...they're so genuine and funny and they really do say the darndest things. Little Miss Harper is the very definition of kids that crack me up with wit and thoughtfulness and energy. I had a ton of fun playing around with the whole family but I think my favorite moment was when they were throwing leaves up in the air over her head and she was a stone-faced power poker player. She looked back and forth and stood there and her mom says "Nothin'." I don't know maybe you had to be there or hear Julie say it but it sticks with me as a moment where sometimes things just aren't how you picture them in your head...with the kid laughing and jumping and running through the leaves with squeals of delight. Now don't get me wrong, there were squeals of delight but I really enjoyed moments like this where you could almost hear Harper's brain processing what was going on. Loved shooting with you Hatfields and I hope we get to do it again! Enjoy...

Emma & Mark Sittin' In A Tree....Literally. 10 October 2015

Okay so technically only Emma sat in the tree but only because Mark was the gentleman Prince who didn't want his Princess to fall out of the tree under the weight of them both. True story. :) Cute couple on their first photo shoot together! They did great if I might say so. They laughed, they made funny faces, the got down in the dirt and they made it a family affair with their pups Myah and Trigger joining in on the fun. The location was meaningful to them and a photographer's dream with trails and overgrown brush and trees and bluffs. Ah-mazing. Thanks for letting me capture this moment in time for your little family and best of luck in your future together!

The Carley Family 30 August 2015

Such a beautiful family! These kids are so full of energy and while the boys jab at each other, I have secretly seen them be civil with each other and super lovey with their baby sister. This is my second time photographing the kids and the first time photographing the whole family. I really loved the dynamics of having the whole group together and doing smaller groups as well. Thanks for inviting me in for some last-Sunday-before-school-starts fun! Enjoy!

The Stratman Family 27 August 2015

Brynlee has to be one of the smartest and funniest 2 year old kiddos I've ever met. When I asked her who the smartest girl was, she said "me." Love it! Her smile makes me giggle and her 2 year old sassiness rocks. She loved to dance around when I sang my awesome rendition of Bah Bah Black Sheep and she knows exactly what she "needs." Her mom will understand that. Thanks for letting play around with you guys. The weather was a little weird but I think we still got some real gems on this shoot. Enjoy!
