Family Session: The Millers

It was a chilly, but beautiful fall day when I met up with the Miller family for their session! We had fun and the cute kiddos did great! Mark & Lyndsey...enjoy your preview!



















Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Kari joined in, too!

Senior Session: Davis

Davis was so much fun to photograph! He's an awesome guy, inside and out, and I had a great time taking his senior pictures! He's super photogenic, has a great smile, and has awesome fashion sense, as well. I loved all his shoes and hoodies, and his sweet aviators, too! Thanks, Davis, for allowing me to capture these shots for you! I hope you like your preview.

Josh, Kim & Calvin's Facebook Group

I will be at the hospital photographing the moments right after Calvin is born, and I'll be staying for the following few hours. Please pray for me, too, if you think about it, as I feel honored to be a part of something so special, but am admittedly nervous to do the best job I can possibly do to give this family memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

Belly Session: Andrea (& Tim)

Andrea is such a cute prego! I loved photographing these moments for Andrea and Tim as they await the arrival of their first child...a sweet baby girl. Andrea and Tim were the first clients I've had who specifically asked for truly candid, unplanned moments. They were so natural and were just talking, laughing, walking, loving on each other...and I got to capture it all. Thanks, you two, for the opportunity to document such a special time in your life. Enjoy the preview. :)

Newborn Session: Addison

Addison is the beautiful, brand new, baby girl of one of my closest friends, Ashli. Ashli and I grew up together at the same school, playing 3 different sports together and having lots of sleepovers, late-night talks, and so many memories, I can't even begin to name them! I've always said that Ashli is a breath of fresh air. She's one of those people who make you feel both energized and at ease at the same time. We've had so many good times together over the years, and I'm grateful for her impact on my life. Addison is one lucky girl to get Ash for a Mom. And I can't forget Daddy Nick! Nick and Ashli were married 2 years ago and it's been so fun to see their relationship grow in different ways as time goes by. Nick is already comfortable with the Daddy role...I'd say they're both naturals!

*Addison was 3 days old in these photos*

Family Session: Steve, Suzy & Kids

It was so nice meeting and spending time with this adorable family! They have quite a unique story, and I've been so excited to blog about them because I think they're just remarkable. Plus, they're all so cute!

A couple years ago, Steve & Suzy had four beautiful daughters and they had pretty much decided they were done having children. After making this decision, they really felt God calling them to have another baby. While at a restaurant one night, they struck up a conversation with their server, who was pregnant and in the beginning stages of finding an adoptive family for her baby. She asked Steve & Suzy if they would be interested in adopting her baby, and they told her they were! Amazing, right? One conversation led to a relationship with this wonderful young woman who truly loved her son, but wanted a better life for him than what she knew she could provide.

Steve & Suzy were able to journey through the pregnancy with her, taking her to all her appointments, hearing the heartbeat and seeing the first sonogram together, and even being in the delivery room and cutting the cord when Ty was born! They took him home with them the next day and he is now almost 3 months old! The adoption is set to be finalized on October 15th, so please pray that all goes smoothly for them.

Steve & Suzy fully believe that being at that restaurant, that particular night was not a coincidence, but that God brought this young woman and Ty into their lives for a wonderful purpose.
