Miller Family photos

I had the opportunity this summer to photograph some family photos for the Miller family. i have got to say, it was an absolute blast! I went out to their farm, and we got the photos done right before some rain came in. They were having a reception for Joe and Darcie who had just gotten married, and wanted some snapshots before the party began! 

The whole time they were having fun with each other, laughing and making me feel more than welcome. i even got a tour of Eileen's beautiful home! I have got to say, love the setup office, right off their house. Gorgeous yard too! 

you might recognize Tara who had the dress the trash session this summer too! if you don't remember, check it out again HERE! 

As you can tell, they had just a little bit of fun together! 

Thank you all for letting me photograph your wonderful family! 

Brady & Alyse- wedding sneak peek!

Where do i start? Alyse looked absolutely stunning that day. I've never seen a bride do so much still on her day to help everyone else. And i started tearing up terribly when she danced with her dad. I looked over to see my high school friends losing it too. It was such a beautiful day, full of so many loving friends and family. 

I tried to remember the last time i was in her family's house, the family photo on the wall, and all of the memories of us as kids just rushed back, i might have teared up then too (and laughed at all the ridiculous things we did). It's so beautiful to me to be able to see someone you've grown up with say their vows and change their name. Though i admit it still makes me feel old. 

I've learned so much from this woman over the years, and one of the best things is always laughing. Alyse and Brady had so much fun on their day and enjoyed every moment.

one thing i really enjoy about photographing friends is seeing the details and seeing exactly them in it. Her dress had these gorgeous detailed flowers, and it looked like exactly something she picked. Her flowers she had on the tables, and even the colors she chose. It was so personal and really lovely. 

 

i just had to include the one of the girls at the bar.. and of course a few tractor ones! click on images to see more detail! and to see their engagement photos and read about that session.. click here! 

Your wedding was SO much fun! and thank you for letting me be a part of your big day! it was perfect. Congratulations and more to come soon... WOOOOT! 

Tipton Family photos- sneak peek!

Amie had the great idea of using this beautiful flower field for some photos of her cute kids! Poor Abby wasn't feeling great but Mary (grandma) made her laugh by putting on quite the entertaining show.. i wish i would've gotten a few of her! :) 

We ended up going over to the Matthees farm to try for more, and this is where we got some smiles! they did so good! Sam and Avery were so patient while we got their baby sister to smile! 

There are so many more of Abby just cracking up laughing.. can't wait to show you more! and then after laughing she'd cover her mouth.. absolutely ADORABLE! 

Lots more to come! 

O'Bryan Family photos! sneak peek

I think i might mention this a lot, but i am so blessed that my job let's me be around my family! We get to hang out before, after and i get to catch up with my beautiful sister Tara her husband Steve and their three amazing boys. This summer i got to see them more actually just because of me traveling up there, which i'm so thankful for. i might have gotten in lots of kisses :) 

Tara knew i was coming in town and our dad has picked up love for camping, so she decided it would be great to be around dad, and it even would make traveling for me easier.. MAN it was awesome! 

We decided to walk down by this beautiful trail, enjoy nature and stop along the way for some photos. i have to say... it was perfect.. NICE thinking tara! Last summer her idea was to meet at the zoo. she is always coming up with great ideas for the kids to stay involved in the photos. great mama! 

I definitely don't see you enough, but i love that my work can bring us closer, even for a couple hours here and there! Love you all and i can't wait to see you again! 

Brad & Caitlin- engagement sneak peek!

What a fun couple! i went to high school with both of them and this was one of the first times i got to really see them together! crazy! But it was so beautiful. 

They have a wonderful dynamic and still after these years, Caitlin is all giggles and completely in love. Brad started out a little tougher but a few kisses to his gorgeous woman and he didn't stop smiling either. 

it was a ridiculously hot day, but you can't even tell! me on the other hand.. sweat city. Caitlin's sister Kendra came along too and i'm so glad she did! She even helped me too, so i couldn't have done it without you!

There was a tough time in the family, and my prayers still go out to you all, but they pressed on and focused on their love for one another and i'm really proud. 

i loved to see these two together and as always some of my favorite sessions so i can see how they show love to one another. They're definitely still always laughing, kissing, and completely lovey. I had Brad tell Caitlin a few things, and even without them saying anything they'd burst out laughing. can't wait to show you all the rest! 

 my favorites are absolutely the real laughs between the two of you. 

congratulations you two! and i can't wait til your big day!
