There's something uber cute about almost two year old little girls. The fun summer dresses, the golden light as the sun touches the earth, and all the energy -- knowing full well about the special attention and staying up past the normal bedtime. And did I mention the fact that if you add bubbles, it just makes it all the more fun? Little Gia, you were absolutely precious as you explored Afton State Park. Thanks for the chance to capture you at this stage for your upcoming birthday!

​Oh-so-cute! It was so much fun to catch back up with these two cute kiddos and their awesome parents for their summer mini portraits. We love the chance to see how kids grow from year-to-year – how they change and how they stay the same, the new things that they are interested in and the old classics that stay the same, and all the fun in-between. Thanks Biehl family for a short, but sweet time at Afton State Park!

This group of people right here are so fun to hang out with and take their family photos! And four generations?! Yes, please! It’s always a great time to connect with the McDonald/Teal family. I first met them all at our church and have had the pleasure of photographing them when the Teal family unit was only 3 and now they’re 5! It’s amazing how quickly life changes and time passes by, but the love of a family overcomes, grows, and yet stays the same love.

What I love about the fall photo season is the unique opportunity to see so many families in such a short amount of time, to see so many families at different stages, and to see so many precious relationships between the family members. The McCoy family here are one of those families. It’s mom and dad and their little girl — and wow, do they love each other. They were completely at ease, completely ready to just laugh and have fun with one another, and completely amazing.
