Jodi and Sophie and the horses

Remember this family from a few weeks ago?  Well, since that evening was so windy and some of the photos of Jodi with her daughter resulted in "crazy hair", I met Jodi and Sophie again a few days ago to do a few more mother/daughter shots.  It actually worked out perfectly because their beloved horse farm is being sold next month so we were able to get shots of them with Spud, Tully, Pee Wee, and Play-Dough. 

 

 

H Family Photos

I met up with some friends from church at a nearby park to capture a few photos of their kiddos.  We even snuck in a couple of family shots.  This family is so laid back and just wanted some "day-in-the-life" kinds of pictures, which was so fun!

 

Maddie, Makenna, and Malachi:

Casey, Jodi, and Sophie

Jodi and I met a few years ago through a mutual friend when our girls were only about 4 years old or so.  Thankfully, we have kept up with one another via Facebook.  We had been talking about getting together to do family photos for months, but the weather was always a factor.  Now that it is finally JUNE (when did that happen?!?!), we met up to capture her family at this stage of their life.  It was so fun to catch up with Jodi, meet her husband, and see how much Sophie has grown since the last time I saw her!

 

 

 

Hannah {9 months}

I have been blessed to get to take photos of this animated, sweet, fun baby for her 3 and 6 month pictures.  Over the weekend I met her and her parents at a park to take her 9 month pictures.  It is crazy to think that in three short months she will be ONE! 

Enjoy this preview of Hannah, Sarah, and Chris:

 

 I love those 2 baby teeth peeking out:

 

Mother's Day Photos for Jay & Katie

Jay and Katie became parents to precious Jillian 2 months ago.  I was honored that they asked me to take newborn photos of Jill when she was only 3 days old. 

Now, I am thankful that I get to show you some more pictures of them with Jill and their moms (and Jay's dad) for this special Mother's Day weekend.  It was a gorgeous evening with beautiful lighting over the foothills and we all had so much fun taking these bittersweet photos. 

Why bittersweet?  Well, Katie was diagnosed with breast cancer this past week.  She isn't even 30 yet and will begin chemo in a few short weeks.  It is a blessing to see how Jay and Katie are handling parenthood along with this devastating news.  Their faith in God is rock solid and they have a wonderful support system around them. 

Please enjoy this preview of 3 generations.  And, as Katie comes to your mind, please pray for her quick healing!

 

 Jay always makes everyone laugh (esp. his wife):

 I love this shot of them walking hand-in-hand.  They are on a journey together and are growing stronger because of it:

 

 I got a few shots of just Jilly Bean by herself when I babysat her on Thursday afternoon:
