You may remember this sweet little face from last fall when Parker was just a newborn.  I am always amazed to see the changes from newborn sessions to the 6 month/up sessions.  They go from teeny little ones to precious little people with lots of personality.  Well, Parker was an absolute delight for this session.  It was obvious that he was a big fan of his mommy and daddy and his wagon was a close second. ;)  As always, it was wonderful seeing you guys again...can't wait until next time!

Such a precious little guy...

His expression in this one melts my heart...a favorite, for sure.

Another favorite...

Love those little toes...

Oh, how I love capturing precious moments for families.  I never tire of looking at how each family is engaged to the needs of one another.  Such a beautiful thing...  We have captured this sweet family before, but they were only a family of 5 at that time.  Now, they are an adorable family of 6.  I loved seeing how they have changed, yet have stayed the same.  We did their session on their property last time, as well.  You will soon see why it is the perfect place for photos.  It is quite the little haven for their growing family.  Thanks for giving us this opportunity once again.  Hope to see you all again soon!  Many hugs...

They are so cute!

This is their home that can also be their home-away-from-home.  They even brought sand in so the kids could have a beach area.  I could live here...

Since this was his first photo session with me...I grabbed a few extra. ;)

Airplane!!

They sure do love their little brother...

A favorite...

Just a little guy...

I just loved this little session between a mom and her two little girls.  We have known this family for quite some time.  A few years ago they moved to Texas and only get to visit every so often. :( I was rather excited that it worked out to see them during their busy time in the midwest.  Daddy had to head back for work, so this session was just the girls.  Lots of pink, lots of ring-around-the-rosies, and lots of giggling.  The perfect session for 3 beautiful girls.  Sara...you know how much we miss you guys!  Glad we had a bit of time to catch up.  Hugs to all 4 of you!!  

All of these (above and below) melt my heart...love them!

A squirrel ran across the top of the bridge.  It was quite the site to see... ;)

Something you may not know about me...I coached cross country for 4 years.  Oh, how I loved it and wish that my schedule still allowed for it--maybe someday.  I loved the kids, the competition, the mental/physical growth it took...I could go on and on.  Well, Molly is one of my former athletes.  She was a true gem then, and still is to this day.  I have kept in touch with her over the years (along with several other athletes) and I am so proud of who she has become.  I know that her senior year will be full of memories and challenges that will help prepare her for her future after high school.

Molly--I'm so excited for you and honored to have been a part of your senior year.  I know that you will continue to radiate every room you walk into...your sweet spirit, go-get'em attitude, and beautiful smile will take you far.  Follow your dreams, believe in who you are, and always remember to pace yourself. ;) Love to you...

There are so many of these that I love...I think you know that. ;)

Ha!  Love this!

This cute guy has been a part of her life since middle school.  A few pictures were a must...

This will be a session I remember for a long, long time!  We had everything from crazy mosquitoes, hot weather, random things happening at the IMA pond (Brad and Beth know what I'm talking about ;),  baseball, piggy-back rides, cradle-holds (well, kind of), and running through sprinklers.  We even met early in the morning trying to prevent the first 2 things from happening, but we overcame that by making it work for us.

Brad and Beth were as sweet and endearing as they were fun and full of life.  I loved watching them together and had many good laughs throughout their session.  I can't wait until next summer...it's gonna be a beautiful day!  Hugs to you both!!!  

Love this one...

Brad...you crack me up! ;)

Some baseball fun that...

...brought on this. ;)

These next 2 are my favorites...couldn't decide.

Love their jumping abilties...

At the end of the session, we were all drenched--thank you Indiana summers.  As we were walking back to our cars, we saw the sprinklers and we all knew what needed to happen.  And, it did...

This series...I laugh every time I look at it.  Brad got pelted with the sprinkler...funniest thing ever!
