I was a BUSY girl in October! {and November!!!!} Lots of photo sessions while the weather was warm and the trees were golden. Good thing too, it’s COLD and very stickish here now, as all of the leaves have fallen to the ground. I have a few more sessions to edit, then I am done until Spring time. Maybe I’ll actually take some of my own children during the day for fun again! 🙂
Here are some of my favorites from recent sessions:
More to come soon, I am editing away! 🙂

Many thanks for your love and support this year!
No Weekend Potluck, Friday. Come back next week and bring all your yummy dishes! 🙂
It was wedding day when I left you yesterday, and I had 40 minutes to get ALL six of us spiffed up, dressed and ready to go!
Super Auntie Lauren to the rescue! 🙂
She popped over from her room next door, and took one girl at a time to braid their hair, while I got the rest of us dressed. Praise the Lord for her amazing braiding skills, I was hoping for a good hour to experiment with the girls’ hair and I am just not a good braider yet. {But I did learn a basic French Braid, FINALLY!}
Here are the end results, she did this gorgeous angled braid that led into a braided bun. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thanks, Auntie Lauren!
The wedding was at the Military base, so we had to go through security with a photo id check to even get in. See that picture, above collage, top middle? It is a photo of a HUGE cemetery of all the fallen soldiers from that particular fort. May we always remember, our freedom is never free. God bless them.
We got to the church at 2 for pics, the wedding started at 4. Thankfully Dale was amazing and had all the kids eat and nap while I was gone, so they were happy and ready to take photos.
There is nothing more special to me, then seeing two lives joined as one, God’s way. Aaron and Ashley are an amazing example of True Love Waits, and it was such a blessing to be a part of their beautiful day as they made a lifelong covenant before Christ and a church full of family and friends, to die to self, and become one flesh.
Check out the tearful groom, and his PROUD smile when he sees her! LOVE IT!
Guess who walked down the aisle without a moments pause or hint of hesitation? Yup, Pax!
I didn’t even have to use the fruit snacks to try to bribe him to come towards me. He picked up his side of the sign and trucked down the aisle like he had planned it that way all along.
While everyone else was doing the group photos, I grabbed Chad and Lauren for a quick family picture. Aren’t they PRECIOUS?
After that, we headed to the reception:
Look at my sweet girls, bottom right picture below, watching the happy couple and dreaming of their own special day!
My little dancers…..
We danced, laughed and had so much fun, but alas, it was time to head back to the hotel to pack and prepare for a long drive home. As I mentioned yesterday, the kids did great, and we didn’t get out the final activity until an hour from home. Success!
It was a great trip! We will venture cross-country in our car again, SOMEDAY.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Mustaches and Lips on a stick are ALL the rage right now…for birthday parties, photo booths, wedding shoots, you name it!
I shopped around for a bit before deciding I could just make my own:
This really is so simple.
Take some stiff craft felt, I paid a buck at Hobby Lobby for it.
Google mustache templates and lip templates. Print and cut out, then trace onto felt.
Hot glue onto small bamboo skewers, usually used for cake pops.
Have some fun!
Easy schmeasy!

I had the opportunity this summer, to photograph two expectant mothers! One we grabbed a couple shots at her daughters shoot, as a fun way to announce their pregnancy, the other, my FIRST maternity session!!!!!!
These Mom’s to be are simply stunning! The kids and dads were great, too! 🙂
Thanks for letting me capture these precious moments for your family!

What a sweet little man, Jameson is! I got to photograph him, because he just turned 1. He was very serious during our photo shoot, but when he saw my kids and dog later, he was all grins. Guess next time I’ll bring them all out with me? 🙂 Some of my favorite shots of my children are smile free, so it’s all good!

This is post 2 for today, be sure to head back a post for some YUMMY lettuce wraps!
My lil’ man is 2! I have put off his session for a solid month waiting for the perfect day, wasn’t happening. SO, one cloudy day, with a cool front on its way in, I get the urge to snap a couple pics of him. It turned into a full session, and despite the weird gray light and how COLD it was by the end, I was super happy with how they turned out.
It helps a lot that he doesn’t know a life without a camera in his face! 🙂
Don’t just want to squeeze those sweet CHEEKS!?!?!?!
Love my lil’ man, he is growing up TOO fast!

Meet Miles, a darling 2 year old visiting his Nana from Florida. I am so glad she called me to come photograph him, what a doll!
