Migi's Mini Session

 I'm just gonna get this out of the way: ISN'T MIGI SO CUTE??!?!?!  AHHHH!!!  Okay, so needless to say, I was pretty dang excited when I was asked to photograph a puppy.  😁  We wanted a balance of showing off how small he is as well as letting his personality shine.  So, I grabbed just a few props for some posed pictures, and then we just let him play!  It was so fun!  For being only about 3 months old, he's incredibly well-trained already.  That said, my favorite picture is the one of him on the red blanket, and he was totally peeing when I took that.  😂  If you want to watch this little dude grow up, you can follow him on IG by going to: https://www.instagram.com/migi_the_dachshund/

Nicole's Senior Session

I thought I was done with sessions for 2020, but then one last senior mini session snuck in, and I'm so glad it worked out!  😁  Nicole was so easy to photograph and we made the most from this quick time together.  It was a beautiful, chilly day, and I was once again reminded how blessed I've been by this weather that has allowed me to continue working outside of my studio.  I've learned a lot from this past year and I am so excited to see what I can accomplish in 2021!  😊

Reynolds Family

This mini session was scheduled fairly last minute, and I am SO glad it worked out!  It was a beautiful, warm day which was such a blessing!  I couldn't stop laughing while editing these photos because of the crazy range of expressions I captured of Eli.  However, despite how cute he was in the picture I captured of him sneezing, that one didn't make the cut.  😂  There were a couple pictures that did make the cut even though Eli had his tongue out.  You can see one of them towards the end.  He and Isaac are just too cute!  😊

Starry Family

These boys were a hoot on this chilly morning for their mini session!  They were promised hot chocolate for cooperating and they definitely earned it!  😁  I was surprised that Logan and Landon look more alike now than they used to.  Since they are all growing up so much, I wasn't sure they would all still fit on this bench, but I'm so glad I asked them to at least try.  I seriously melted a little bit when Zach put his arms around his brothers!  😍

I have felt so blessed by this mild weather which has made it so much easier to do these Holiday mini sessions outside.  I initially wasn't sure if I could or should offer anything this year, but I'm glad that I did!  It's been such a joy to still be able to capture these precious moments despite this ridiculous year.  💗

Wappes Family

It was a chilly morning, but we had a fun, mini session!  I can still hardly believe that when I first met Charlie earlier this year, he was just a little babe and now he's so quickly grown up into "Mr. Independent" who is always on the move!  He is such a sweetheart!  Belle also was able to join us for a few pictures which was fun as well.  We wrapped up this quick session right as the sun was finally above the buildings.  😊

Walter Family

I had so much fun with the Walters!  It was a wee bit cold, but it really wasn't too bad and warmed up a bit before we were done.  Tim wasn't too happy about the chilly air or about me taking his picture, but after getting to play in the leaves with his grandpa, he was fine.  😊  Carissa was all smiles and clearly having a blast!  I can't believe how big she is now!  She was only a tiny newborn last time I saw her.  😭  It's been such a joy for me to watch this awesome family grow over the years!  💗

afO's A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas

It was so nice to photograph a play again!  It felt like it had been years, which isn't even remotely true.  It just seems that way because this year has felt like 3 years crammed into one and it still feels like we are so far from the end of it, but it will finally be 2021 before we know it.  😊  Anyways, I enjoyed seeing this show for a second time (the first time was in 2015).  It's such a sweet story and it's a fairly short production with no intermission.  Here are some of my favorite pictures!
