Your senior year in High School is so important and it's important to document it! In a Senior Session, I try to showcase your personality and really document everything.  You can bring your lettermans jacket, school ring, bow, your dog.... anything you want, that's personal to you! You can bring a couple different outfits. You can even bring your favorite chair!  

Be prepared to dance, jump, run, laugh.... and to just have fun!  

Here are her photos from her Engagement Session, I am so proud she asked me to take her photos.  They are so in Love and so cute with each other. 

Plus look at those lashes, I am so jealous!!

Check out this adorable family, and those boys who keep mom and dad on their toes, with all their activities and sports.  Being a mom with 3 boys I know the extreme level of competition boys have.  Even when it comes to how high you can jump!!  

I first met Clay and Chayla right after they got married, she had just found out she was pregnant with their first. Then we were neighbors for a few years, they added another girl, fast forward a few years and look at that adorable little boy.  Nothing makes me happier than to see families grow and change. 

It makes me heart so happy to be part of their lives and watch their family grow!   

So much fun!  I love to photograph kids, you never know what they're going to do or say.  I love it!  

I also included the Christmas Composite Photos.  I love them, it's fun to use your imagination and create Christmas Magic.  

I know this kid will go and do amazing things, in his next big adventure!!

For this family it had been a long time.  Now they have these beautiful fun images to cherish forever. 

One secret to keeping kids happy and engaged in their family session, is to ask lots of questions and be as goofy as you can.  I always ask who their girlfriend or boyfriend is....never fails....I get the best reactions.  I also (with parents permission) ask who the best "Farter" in their family is?  Guaranteed laugh!!!

It's nice to take photos of family members because they have to do what you say, even if they think you're a little ridiculous.  I say jump.... and they do it, not knowing why, haha!!   I also love how much fun they have together and how much they love each other.  It's so sweet to see!   

One day your up to your elbows in diapers, then in a blink of an eye your sending them to First Grade.  I don't know about you, but for me it's important to capture all those milestones, and changes.  But it would break the bank to hire a professional photographer every couple of months to photograph all those milestones.  Sometimes all you need or want is a quick photo to update your frames. 

That's why years ago I started offering Mini Sessions.  It's a great way to get a few photos to update your frames or add to your gallery wall.  I only offer Family Mini Sessions in the Fall.  But for Children I offer them year round.  And you have a choice of in studio or outside. 

Here's a quick Mini Session, that I absolutely loved!  It only took a few minutes and mom was able to create a beautiful gallery wall with some updated photos of her kids!
