FAMILY SESSION // SCHOFILLS

When Heather contacted me saying "It's that time of year again!" I responded with "Yeah, it's been two years!" Truth was--it was just last summer that I took the Schofill's family pictures--which is a pretty epic realization to come to! I remember wanting to grow my portfolio by trying out some more family pictures, so I approached Heather about allowing me to do their session. I can remember the state-of-mind I was in, as well as the state-of-quality in my work. I am blown away by how much I have learned in just a year. Whatever you do--DO NOT go back that far in my archive! Totally kidding, actually. I have the power to delete my old posts--and trust me, there are certainly days when I want to--but I think it's good to see how far I've come in just a year. I know I always say it, but I will keep on reaching for the stars.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might

Ecclesiastes 9:10


I can only imagine how parents feel. It was crazy seeing the girls dressed and ready for the session--and remembering just how tiny they seemed last year!

Time flies.

Heather and Paul, you truly are an exceptional family. The love of Christ just radiates from each of you--so kind and giving. Your girls are sugar and spice and everything nice to their core... I love their girliness! You are so visibly doing an incredible job as parents--setting an example to those around you. I know we all wish we could stop time if just for a day, but as your girls continue to grow, I pray that the Lord would be a hedge of protection around their hearts. I pray that the very same joy they radiated at our session would be carried with them as they journey throughout life. I pray God's richest blessings on your family: love, wisdom, patience... and everything else that He solely supplies.

Family Session | Smith Family

The Saturday morning of the Smith family session was one of the first warm, beautiful days of February. The sun was absolutely brilliant, making me immediately excited about the day!

The Smith family had such great interaction. I loved the laughter between them all--the way they all embraced the individual personalities--the timeless sisterly interaction.

I was so excited to put these in the mailbox today, sure that their family was so genuinely captured.

Thank you so much, Smith family. Enjoy. {♥}

Children's Session | Jackson Gibbs

This little man was so cute. I posted a preview of little Jackson last week when I first started editing his session.

Jackson was full of energy, and in such a good mood for the shoot. He offered several cheesy smiles to the camera, but his candid faces of pure excitement have to be my favorite!

Hope these pics take you back to your childhood.

Enjoy, friends. ♥
