I can’t think of a better way to capture you at this stage in your life, Nolan. You are growing up so quickly, but you refuse to grow up too much;) I love experiencing boyhood alongside you and watching your interest in things (especially dinosaurs) grow. What a privilege it is to be parents to such an incredibly sweet boy. Happy Birthday, buddy! We are so proud of you!
Love,
Mom and Dad
So much sweetness between this beautiful girl’s dimples to the sparkle in her eye when she looks at her daddy. Just two-years old and already so incredibly captivating!
They started the process two years ago because they really felt God was leading them to adopt and expand their family of four. Through different adoption agencies and contacts, they did all they could to make themselves available to welcome a child into their home. Many different opportunities presented themselves along the way, but they only ended up in disappointment and frustration. Right after Christmas this past year, they received a call saying they were matched up with not one, but two (a brother and sister) children and they were to bring them home a week later. Our church family and many other wonderful people through Facebook rushed to get them set up with all they needed and this family drove four hours to bring these two children home. But apparently this still was not the right time, because they returned home without the children and the social worker lost contact with the birth mother. Even though they were devastated, they still really felt God was leading them to adopt and through the heartbreak they continued praying and trusting in Him. Two weeks ago, Lindsay and Scot flew to Texas because they had been paired with an 11-month-old boy. It seemed like a long process as they were separated from their two children while they spent two full weeks waiting for all paper work to be cleared to bring Zeke home. Today was the day their whole family would be together again! Their story proves that our plans are never as grand as God’s plan for us and sometimes its worth the wait to lean on Him and let Him grow us through trying and uncertain times. I was able to witness/experience the pure joy this family shared tonight. Congratulations to our dear friends and their newest addition, Zeke. His life will be forever changed in the best way possible because he now belongs to one of the most loving families I know.
This family is about as adorable as they come and as sweet as can be. The abundance of adorable-ness was only just beginning when I started of with this handsome, blue-eyed boy and then when his big sister was added into the mix…well, you can see for yourself;)
We had such a gorgeous summer night for this session. Lindsay let her girls pick out their own outfits and I just love how this let their fun personalities shine through. They all looked great and it was an absolute joy to capture this family!
What a gorgeous evening we had for this session! The setting was beautiful with flowers in full bloom, gorgeous sunlight and happy family ready for fun. I couldn’t have asked for more. What a great time capturing some sweet memories for this beautiful family.
I just love this family! Gavin and Hannah celebrated 10 years of marriage this summer, so we had to do something special for this family session. On top of that they celebrate each of their kids’ birthdays during the summer and Gavin’s birthday is tomorrow:) We had the perfect evening together and I’m so happy with how these turned out. Definitely one of my absolute favorite sessions of all-time.
I think darling pretty much sums up these beautiful sisters.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Have a great weekend, all!

Baby fever–that is all these newborn sessions are doing for me;) Such sweetness. It is always fun to capture bitty, sleeping babies, but those incredible moments between the entire family are my favorite. I just love capturing those emotions because I hope that someday, years from now, when clients look back at their pictures, they can feel bits and pieces of those emotions all over again.
I love meeting new clients, especially when they are as fun as this family. Fiona is an absolute doll and she was having a blast from beginning to end. Nothing could be more fun to capture than a sweet, one-year-old as adorable and smart (wink, wink) as this girl.
