Kelli’s my girl. We met in kindergarten. (Here’s that photo I took of her when I brought in a camera for Show-N-Tell!)
She was so sweet to drive F-O-R-E-V-E-R away to come see me. I’m a bit sentimental, but I loved taking her kid’s photos on the land between my parent’s and grandparent’s house because Kelli and I shared SOOOOO many childhood memories right there!
For the past seven years, I’ve had the JOY of documenting Kate! Each year, we try to be super intentional about incorporating her hobbies and interests into her session.
I LOVE doing this for 2 reasons:
1. It’s REAL. (Nothing against throwing fake snow into the air for a Pinterest-shot, but if you’re not doing that in real life, I’ll probably try to talk you out of it.)
2. It perfectly DOCUMENTS (forever and ever and ever) that EXACT age and stage of a child’s life! (That’s also why I love doing Milestone photos! It’s a fun way to remember all the fun things about that season of life.)
This year, Bentley joined us!
I had a choice to either post a lot of photos tomorrow or get a few out tonight. I thought Kellie would like them now, so…
Can we just talk about the Kellys?
I mean, that style and those kids!
(Scroll to the end to see how much they’ve grown-up!)
I’ve gotten to PLAY take photos of these guys for several years! I missed their sweet mom this visit, but look forward to photographing her with her boys soon!
Cooper is a SENIOR and I felt so privileged to be the one to document this special milestone!
It was so great seeing Todd & Val as well! (We served together in preschool at 12Stone over 8 years ago!)
Eight years ago, I met a little girl in Ross’ first grade class. She was a pretty girl with a pretty name! So pretty, in fact, when I found out I was having another baby girl, I wanted to name her Wren! (Matthew was convinced we needed to stick with another “R” name where she didn’t feel left out.)
When her mom reached out to me last week regarding a session, I was very excited to get to see Wren and her family! Oh, and a furry “Merlin” was an added bonus!
