Pumpkin Patch

About a week ago, I had the opportunity to photograph three adorable children. One of which, is the daughter of an amazing lady. I have known Natalie for a few years and I absolutely adore this woman. She is, easily, one of the strongest and most determined women I know. As a single mother, she still finds the time to work and attend school to take care of her daughter. Natalie, thank you for the opportunity and for being such a great woman and mother. Love you lady!

 

BBF: Baby Best Friends

I first met Jennifer when I was pregnant with my son. Not too long after we were blessed with his birth, we found out she was pregnant with Shelby Rose. For as long as I have known the Dahlen family, they have always been such great people and friends to us. When I was given the opportunity to document their beautiful baby girl, I was so excited! Jennifer thought it would be a great idea to take some photos of her daughter with her baby best friend, Kaydence. I am very happy to say, she was totally right! These girls, although becoming crabby very quickly, were far too adorable. These creative and fall inspired props were put together by Jennifer Dahlen and Chelsee Miller.  :)


Yes, babies can definitely be best friends.

Friends for life: Michelle & Amanda

Let me start by saying that Michelle and Amanda were absolutely hilarious to listen to! Their personalities were so sassy, which made for a very witty sense of humor. I could tell they were a little uncomfortable at first, but once they started talking and joking around with one another, I captured one beautiful shot after another.

Michelle and Amanda have been best friends for about five years. Their friendship began through past relationships and together they found strength to move forward together as friends and separate from those relationships. Amanda has two children and by simply hearing her talk about them, you can tell how much she loves and adores them. Michelle is expecting her first and is not too far along, but I know she will be an amazing mother.
