I had such a good time downtown with the baumeier family! such a sweet crew… you could totally feel the love!

sandy feet, sunshine, family, and duck donuts for breakfast.  who could ask for a better day at the beach?

it has been such a joy to watch this family grow and lil’ riley is such a cutie pie!

i love, love, love all of the bright colors and smiles going on in these photos.  this family has so much love in it!!

i had such a fun time with the mcdonald family capturing the warm + fuzzy and the sweet + funny moments  at their home and around their cute ‘hood!

i loved working with this family on their first year photo shoots for their first little cutie.  it was great to meet little miss lucia.  she was the BEST baby for her newborn shoot!

i love that this family with 5 kids has the tradition of a 3 year old portrait for each child.  rachel came to the farm for her  3 year old shoot and two of her brothers tagged along.  they are so cute, so naturally we had to include them in some shots!

there is so much love in this little family….i love all the smiles and big laughs!

it has been so much fun getting to know this family over the past year!  i can’t beleive allison is already turning 1.  this sibling cake smash is one of my favorites.  they are so sweet together!
