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.

Baby Session | Erin

Big brown eyes. Contagious smile. Perfect little cheeks. 

Baby Erin has got to be one of the cutest little ladies I have ever come across. When we started the session, she was asleep, and I was SO happy to be able to capture her little sleepy moment. When she woke up, she was bright eyed and so happy. The weather was perfect, and mommy had dressed her in the cutest little outfit. 

I was ecstatic the entire session, continuing to show mom "sneak peaks" of the images we were getting. Mom, naturally, was enamored by the pure cuteness of her baby girl, and we "oohed and ahhed" together over this little creation.

This is what my job is all about.

We also took some pictures of Erin's cousin, who was a hoot. I'll be posting those pictures sometime in the next week.

Enjoy, friends. {♥}

Baby Session | Mayla Turns One

Mayla is one of the cutest babies ever. I love her little expressions, and she was one of my first baby sessions I ever did--crazy to think how far I have come in just one year!

I love the styling of these pictures--a HUGE thanks to Mommy Ariel and Granny! Perfect weather, adorable hipster styling, breathtakingly beautiful little baby. Couldn't ask for a better session!

Enjoy, friends. {♥}

{My favorite. I love the vintage hues, the sunshine, and her big blue eyes.}

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. {♥}
