Joylynn, Steve, Mark & Anna

Lapacek's Orchard is a wonderful location for a photo shoot so I was thrilled when Joylynn called requesting family pictures there. They added adorable Anna to their family 6 months ago and were excited to update their family pictures.  A little while into our conversation we put together the fact that Joylynn's husband and I went to high school together.   Small world!

 

Clare, Luke, Faith, & Signe

Friends from college, who got married to each other, just had their second beautiful daughter. I couldn't have been more excited to take pictures for them.  Both of their girls are just precious!  Few things are better to me than being able to catch up with friends while taking their pictures.  

Peyton: Senior

Peyton is an incredibly sweet senior. I had heard wonderful things about her and really enjoyed our time together.  Since she was a little girl, Peyton knew that she wanted to work with animals when she grew up.  I was impressed to learn she currently works at a vet clinic, as well as volunteers at a Trail Dust Equestrian - a therapeutic riding center.  And as it turns out, today is her birthday.  Happy Birthday Peyton! 

Vegas was a trooper as we played around with positions and poses!  What a sweet horse!

Greta, Tyler, & Myka

I was SO excited when a friend from college asked me to take pictures of her family! Even better, I got to travel to a new place to shoot. I love exploring new towns and Osceola has a ton to offer - apple orchard, waterfall, train station and more.  Additionally it was so fun to spend time with these guys!  Myka is so cute and she's gotten big since I saw her last time.   

 

 

Alison, John, Cara & Collin

These cute twins are now 3. They've changed to much since our last shoot. Last year, we had a shoot on a very cold morning so the warm of this year was a nice change. I know I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again. I absolutely love when I get to work with the same clients repeatedly. It's fun to be a small part of people's lives as their children grow. 

Mary, Mike, Connor, and Karina

83 degrees in October?!?! Not the exact weather I planned on when scheduling this shoot, but I'll take warm over cold any day.  Thankfully the warm weather had no impact on this fun family.  In fact, I had a really hard time picking pictures to post because they have so many great ones.  I hope you enjoy!

Kim

Kim contacted me because she's launching a business and wanted a picture for her website. We had such a nice evening getting to know each other. It was another of the many beautiful warm fall days we've been having. Kim has a radiant smile and wonderful personality that I'm sure make her great at her job.

Theresa, Michael, & Sophia

I've known this family through church for a few years, but it's been a while since I've seen them. We had a great time together exploring a local orchard on an incredible fall day. I love those days where you can feel the sun warming your soul. 

Sue, Mike, Mea, & Isla

I met this wonderful family last year with their extended family for a photo shoot. It was great to be able to catch up with them and see how much their adorable girls have grown.  It was a beautiful morning full of the wonderful fall colors I love.

Updating

I'm in the process of updating and improving my blog. Today's addition is facebook 'like' buttons at the bottom of each post. I know, I know... this is long overdue and FAR from cutting edge. But better late than never. =) Happy Friday friends!

Cassie: Senior

Cassie is an incredibly sweet senior that I got to meet recently. It was fun to discover that we played the same instrument in band.  (It's been more than a few years since I've played.) Cassie keeps herself busy juggling marching band in her hometown and color guard in a neighboring town.
