this is the sweetest group of siblings!  seriously….there is so much love in this family.  it made my heart happy to photograph that big, big love!

i have to say that i am in love with this family and their photos!  my three favorite colors and my new love, stripes, all come together in this session.  i could go on and on about what a fun time we had, but i will just let the photos do the talking!

i had so much fun working with dianne + mike and their families at their montana wedding a few years back.  i was excited to see them and to meet their gorgeous little girl for a photoshoot when we were on our RV trip this summer.  it was great to see the whole family!

and lastly…a family that cheers together, stays together!  go grizz!

i love this family!  over the past 6 years of photographing their family they have become great friends.  these two boys are so lucky to have such nurturing and fun parents.  i can’t believe harlem is one already!

somehow we survived the insane humidity, the drizzling rain, the heat and the relentless mosquitoes and still somehow managed to get some pretty darn cute family photos!  thanks for toughing it out with me guys!  this adorable family belongs to rhiannon giddens of the carolina chocolate drops.  she is so talented!  my crew and i really had a great time dancing it up to the chocolate drops at delfest this year.

just for fun here are a few shots i snapped of rhiannon and the carolina chocolate drops at delfest.

rhiannon belting it out on one of my faves, i am a country girl.  if you have not seen the carolina chocolate drops live i highly recommend it!

baby jewel is growing up!  she was such a tiny little princess just a few short months ago.  now she is a big girl, sitting up, getting lots of teeth, laughing and mommy is expecting another baby!

look how much the twins and their big sister have grown over the past year!  the first photo is from silas + halle’s newborn session.

i am a big fan of old time music, so i have to admit i was pretty excited to meet rhiannon, from the carolina chocolate drops, and her family.  we met up on a cold winter day at their house in front of the family piano, which is a perfect setting for this musical family!  rhiannon and mike’s daughter, aoife is like a dancing beam of sunshine.  her bubbly personality brightened up the gloomy winter day.  i love her little impish smile! baby caoimhín (pronounced kwee-veen) was bright eyed and ready for some snuggles.

what a great family!

it is always so good to meet up with a past bride and groom and meet their new little baby!  i love that i get to share so many important moments with my clients.  when i photographed jessica and shawn’s wedding 3 years ago i was pregnant with ryder.  i can’t believe how fast time flies!

nothing is more cozy than snuggling up with a newborn on a cold, snowy winter day!  meet oliver.  he has such soulful eyes for such a little guy.
