Amanda | Class of 2016

August 19th, 2015

In addition to having the best name ever 😉 , Amanda is gorgeous on the inside and out.  We had many laughs through the session, especially when her mom showed up with a large garden gnome?!  I actually met her family last year when I did her older sister’s photos and I was able to visit the family hobby farm again.  Many great things in store for both girls!

I met this family a few years ago and they are nothing short of some of the strongest and kindest people I’ve ever encountered.  There story is not mine to tell, but I am so glad that I was able to see them again for a short session and capture just a snippet of time for them.  (And seriously, could they have more beautiful eyes!)  Thanks again for having me 🙂

This isn’t my usual, but these kiddos really wanted to photo bomb someone and I couldn’t help but share it in motion 🙂

All it takes is about one minute of time spent with this girl, to know that she is a confident, smart, funny, and witty person.  And did I mention stunning, just simply stunning.  Good luck in all your endeavors!

As I pulled up to this photo shoot, I just got a text from my husband, “The dog got out.”  Luckily the photos went better than that situation (and the dog came home without running into any moving vehicles thankfully!).  This is the second time I have gotten to photograph sweet Vaughn and his family.  He’s such a happy little guy, even when it’s 90 🙂

I met with this little lady for a little mini session.  The energy and movement was non-stop, until she needed a snuggle and then off to discover the splash pad 🙂

We tried something different this time around (I’ve been lucky enough to get to photograph Claire for a few years now!) and went with an urban background.  It turned out to be a windy day, but everyone was super flexible and I absolutely LOVE the results.  Claire is a sweetheart and so easy to photograph, as you can see.  I’m excited to meet the new addition this fall! 🙂

If I could pick a family to be a child or grandchild in, it would definitely be this one!  They clearly enjoy their time together and have such a great bond, I almost invited myself to stay for dinner 🙂

Indiana has been having a rainy summer, so I was excited to wake up to a sunny morning and the light did not disappoint.  Maddie has a contagious smile and bright future, I’m excited all the great things she will do 🙂
