Jeff+Michelle+Levi+baby!

One of my favorite families of all time.

I went to school with Michelle almost my entire life! Since we were about 5 years old. She's one of those amazing friends that even though we live so far a part and we both are too busy to talk often, when i visit it's like our friendship picks up exactly where we left off. I had the chance to spend some time with her incredible family after photos too.. which i should upload. Little Levi had a dance party for us. it was awesome!

You look even more beautiful than you know Michelle.. and yes.. you too Jeff. Even when i constantly bother you guys to dance with me at every wedding! When i opened these photos and started editing, all i saw was love. You guys having real laughs, smiles and hugs. It takes me back when i got to take your engagement photos when i had time with just you two (plus levi now!) and feel so encouraged by you both.  

 

I'm so glad i was able to spend some time photographing and then talking with you! I love seeing your home and the life you've built together. i sound so.. mushy. but i love you guys. 

i mean look at that face! michelle.. you're awesome! giving knucks below

Love how sweet he is on you here...

Jeff you're a good sport.. i know how much you love when i take way too many photos. I can't wait to meet your little one! kiss on Levi's cute cheeks some more! 

I'm so blessed to have you in my life. From my favorite book Captivating, a quote that reminds me of you. "...A woman who at her core was made for romance, made to play an irreplaceable role in a shared adventure and who really does possess a beauty all her own to unveil." 

More to come! to see more head over to facebook, become a fan and look for updates!

Luke, Nicole and Ayden boy!

The Horsmans 

I can't believe how big Ayden is getting! make it stop ;) i've known the lovely Nicole since we were just little kiddos! and had the chance of even photographing her wedding this past september, and it was gorgeous! click here to see those photos! 

Nicole always looks cute, but she was expecting just photos of Ayden so she was a good sport when i asked her to be in some! good thing you always are adorable! 

I had so much fun with this family, Luke throwing Ayden, swinging, and a quick game of duck duck gray duck. he did so good and had the biggest smile for mom when he got to curl his fingers and show double joints! what a sweet heart. thank you guys for dairy queen too.. was the best way to cool off and reward good smiles! 

He is a quick little guy so i had to keep that camera up while he was chasing his parents. i really can't believe how big he's getting! can't wait to see you all again! 

oh and i really love the black and white when he was resting on the bench. he posed that on his own! little handsome model! which is your favorite?! 

OH i just finished this up for a little many faces of ayden! 

Peterson family- memorial hill

I always love seeing this family! the girls are growing so fast and are so beautiful! And laura i don't know how you manage it but you get more gorgeous every day! i went to high school with josh and laura so catching up is always so fun. 

They came prepared with the cutest pink chair, bubbles, and even a kite! so the girls stayed happy and i honestly can't believe it. i've never seen a baby look directly at the camera for the first shot without me making a crazy noise. i held up the camera and she looked at me. yup your family was wonderful! 

lots more photos to come, but here's a sneak peek of your amazing family! thank you for letting me photograph you all! it was perfect.

Family time on the farm!

This beautiful family was so much fun to photograph and they had the CUTEST tractor for the kids to stay busy with. i fell in love right away with their kiddos and really loved their son's name too! (murphy!) 

You can see one of my candid favorites too of Maggie and her son. Just hugging on him a little bit. And she looks absolutely gorgeous. as always there are tons more to come, but don't forget to click on the image if you want to see more detail.  

Thank you so much for letting me photograph your family, and i got to meet those cute kids i've been hearing all about! it was so great to catch up with you too! 

sweet Audrina- baby photos!

You've seen Kenna's maternity check it out here, and now Audrina's sneak peek so finally here are more of this beautiful baby girl!

It was so much fun to have some time to talk with Jordan and Kenna, and about their new beautiful baby girl! i have to admit the funniest thing happened right at the end, Jordan thought for sure Audrina would go to the bathroom on him if we did Audrina all nakey! and sure enough.. she did. right after that last shot. i wasn't going to share this BUT i saw he wrote it on facebook, i figured it was a go then. :)

something i noticed even more during this session was how Jordan looks at Kenna. During the maternity photos he looked at her so sweet, i loved it! but this was such a proud loving look. it was perfect.

Thank you two for letting me meet and photograph Audrina! she's gorgeous. and there will be more coming up! Jordan has some good ideas! shhh...
