THIS folks, it what it’s really all about. Capturing moments, memories, and milestones. And they aren’t always the milestones of little ones. Mr. {P} has suffered from chronic back pain for years. Despite several surgeries and a variety of treatments, the answer seemed to be “don’t lift anything weighing more than five pounds”. As a father of young kids, that was quite restricting! So it was super-duper exciting this summer that we were able to capture these images. Through lots and lots of prayer, and a new set of therapy exercises, Mr. {P} has seen drastic improvement, and is not […]

So excited that the Christmas cards have gone out and I can finally share these images! It’s been awhile since you’ve seen the {P} family on the kg blog! Their sessions always provide a fun opportunity to collaborate with Mrs. {P} in planning and executing new ideas. And this session, we managed to fit into record time! 🙂 It has been such an honor to capture this family over the years…. Love you guys! Girls’ headbands can be found at Christine’s Bowtique.  Special thank you to Crossroad Studios for use of their beautiful property!

Another long time client-friend family, I am pleased to share the {J} family’s session with you! Hard to believe we started out just after Big Brother {T} was born! It’s been such a pleasure to get to know this family better and the individual personalities of their littles too. I love how Miss {C} starts off a bit unsure, but always warms up once we make her feel a little special. I love the ham that big {T} has become. And while I haven’t been able to capture them as often as I would have liked, I love the little […]

It was SO wonderful to see {L} and her kiddos {M} and {L} again! And under much better conditions than the last time I took their pictures when I believe we had snow in October! But it does make me feel a little bit old to see how much they’ve grown… Oh, and {L}, if you ever decide to go into business with your salted caramels, I know just the photographer to take all of your promotional pictures… no charge if I get to eat the product! 😉 Images captured at Crossroad Studio.

I was so bummed to miss the arrival of the littlest {O}, Miss {C} late this spring. But so glad I got to meet her at the end of June! (Yes, can you believe Mrs. {O} gave birth just six weeks before these pictures were taken? AMAZING.) And it was fun to see how much her big brothers have grown too! They were up to their usual crazy antics, which always make it a fun and laugh-out-loud session for me. I can’t wait to see how little {C} gets in on the fun when she is just a bit older! […]

The last time I saw Miss {E} and her mom she was only 5 weeks old! Such a beautiful little girl she is becoming! I enjoyed the opportunity to catch her sweet smiles and some nice family shots too!

I had the pleasure of capturing a double mini-session with the {V} family where I got to meet their youngest, Miss {M}! And while I love how many smiling faces I get to see with the back-to-back minis, being able to spend a little more time, and not be quite as rushed was really nice too! I first met this family when I was teaching swim lessons at the YMCA, so I have known Miss {B} since she was 6 months old. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve gotten my lens on her, so it was great to […]

I’ve been photographing this family since before Miss {S} turned one! Hard to believe she’ll be in school this fall….  I’ve even had the opportunity to photograph them in more than one state! 😉 Such beautiful ladies and handsome young men ~ it was great to see everyone again, and they all get mad props for battling a VERY early and slightly chilly morning shoot!

Grateful for another fun session with the {S} family! They sure are troopers…. racing from a championship baseball game just in time to be the last shoot of the night! So glad it worked out! 🙂 p.s. After all these years, I think I learned where the boys get their goofiness from…. Mr. {S}, you’ve been busted on camera!

So many special life milestones have been shared with this family…. our wedding, baby showers, being in the hospital together while delivering our little ones… <3 It has been so much fun to watch these kids grow through the years. We look forward to another fall of logging on to the Press Gazette online each Saturday morning to read of {A}’s accomplishments from the night before! 🙂 (Although I admit I sometimes still like to think of him as four, instead of almost 17! EEK!) Grateful today for the {I} family, for lifelong friendships, and for technology that allows us […]

It was two summers ago when I first got my lens on these kiddos…. remember this session? At the time, a comment was made by a dear friend of mine that she hoped to see these kiddos on the kg page again. I was hopeful too! And then I moved. So I was completely THRILLED that Mrs. {H} was interested in a mini-session during my trip back home last month! These kiddos have grown SO much in the past two years, changing from toddler and little boy, to beautiful little lady and handsome young man. I only wish we would […]

Truly one of the first families I photographed…. so many years ago, before {W} was even born! I can reminisce about all the fun sessions we have had in the past… out in the woods, maternity, newborn, the horse farm, the lifestyle at home, just to name a few! Such a joy to catch up with these kiddos and their momma. So much fun to watch them grow ~ the girls growing into such beauties, and the personality of little man…so FUN! (Although we are really still struggling with the idea that Baby {W} is now FOUR!) Great to see […]
