First up in this session was Tim & Carla and their 2 daughters.

Tim, Carla, Hannah, and Micah were such a joy to photograph. We had a blast joking around and laughing together.

I will admit I was a little nervous on this session. Tim is an elder at my church and is someone I respect. So you can understand my nerves. But I shouldn’t have worried, we had a blast and got some great photos.

Next door to this farm was an open field with an old gate in between. I love it when there are items that lend themselves to the photographs around the area. It makes my job so much easier.

The next family is one that I have had the wonderful opportunity to photograph on a couple of occasions. Check out their previous session. I have really enjoyed getting to know this family better through photographing them and attending church and lifegroup together.

The boys were so well behaved and were ready to be photographed when they got there.

Steven and Amber have two great boys and it’s so much fun watching these boys grow up.

We were lucky to get them both to sit down and stay still for just a minute. But you can tell that Zachary loves his little brother.

Zachary liked the old barbed wire fence that separated the tree farm from the field.

And not to be outdone by his older brother, Luke wanted to stand by the fence also.

Thank you Tim, Carla, Hannah, Micah, Steven, Amber, Zachary, and Luke for letting me photograph you.

I met the Carvella family through the Saving Little Hearts organization.  They have been involved with Saving Little Hearts pretty much from the beginning. Cameron, the oldest boy, has undergone 2 open heart surgeries. I couldn’t believe it, he is so full of life and energy.

I had an absolutely wonderful time photographing this family in Victor Ashe Park. It’s families like this that make me fall in love with photography all over again.

Thank you Mike, Jennifer, Cameron, and Carissa for being a blessing to me and allowing me to photograph your wonderful family.

Here are a few portraits from the session.

Happy Easter from my family to yours.

We are so thankful for Christ who is Risen.

Emma got to meet Santa for the first time this year. She really didn't know what to think of him, but she had a blast.

We had a fun time with Steve from Expressions Photography on this photo shoot. This is one of the many photos Steve took of us.

Emma and I had a fun time taking these photos even though she kept trying to crawl off the seamless paper.

Wow.  It has been awhile since I updated everyone on my beautiful daughter.  Well, she will be 6 months old on the 12th.  It is hard to believe, but time flies when you are incredibly busy with a baby.  It is amazing to see how much she has changed in the past couple of months.  She is now turning over from her stomach to her back with a regular consistency,  she can go from her back to her stomach occasionally.  She can push up with her legs, but still doesn’t know what to do with her arms.  She pushes her face into the floor then pushes off with her legs, which leads to a very red-faced child.  She is eating rice cereal and oatmeal know and really liking both.  We should be able to start trying different veggies in the next couple of weeks, so that should lead to some interesting photos.  Hope you all enjoy these photos.
