{Newborn} Joelle Marie

Check out this sweet little baby girl, Joelle! I loved all her dark hair and her petite button nose! She really didn't want to be held by Santa but I have seen so many Santa pictures with crying kids I thought it was totally fitting.

Thanks, Yves & Jenn for welcoming me into your home to capture these images of Joelle!

If you don't recognize this family, you must be new here, so welcome! These are some of our dearest friends that are practically family to us and we are so thankful for them and the blessing they are in our lives!

{Family} Chris & Annette

I met Annette several years ago through her sister-in-law who is the daughter to my husband's former boss. Ha! I know, that was the simplest way to say it. But anyway, this was a fun session! These kids are energetic and hilarious. There's something about the youngest of every family, I usually have to work the hardest to get their trust or have them feel comfortable around me. But eventually, it came!

Enjoy!

Last year, this sweet family welcomed their third son, Struan Marshall. Isn't he just the most handsome baby boy?? And the older two are so much fun to chat with too...something about this family that is just so relaxing and enjoyable to be around!

I have photographed this family before, and they are good friends of ours that we have been in a Life Group together with for eight years. So this was last October I did their session and it was fun to have the dogs in the session too! Love the colors we caught with the leaves and with their outfits :)

Return clients are awesome, especially when they're friends. Either they really value what you do, or they feel really guilty about hiring someone else. Kidding. Well, I choose to believe the first reason because I'm not one that doesn't get quickly offended so if someone decides to hire another photographer, so be it - you have to find the person that suits you best.

For a moment there I wondered if I was sharing too much but then I thought about the session and how it went. The first time around. It went great until I got home and loaded the pictures on my computer and saw that I had accidentally changed a setting and they were all out of focus. In their gracious kindness, they were available to meet me the following day to do it over. And while their youngest was not as cheery as the prior day, the other kids and I sure had a blast - they were already comfortable with me since we had been together the day before.

So, I say again, I have fantastic clients and I am so thankful for their kindness to me in regards to this session!
