A Day on the Farm

Some of my favorite things (a gorgeous autumn day, time with fantastic friends, two cute kids, and getting to shoot a lifestyle session) all aligned to create a wonderful day with some great pictures!

I can't believe it's been two years since I last got to take pictures of my good friend Corey's family. Aedan has grown so much, and little Riley has been added to the mix!

The Brickers have a tradition of spending every available Saturday at "The Farm" in Milan with Jeremy's horse, Kal. I knew that doing a lifestyle session with them on one of those Saturdays would be a perfect way to help them cherish those memories forever.

Lifestyle sessions are my absolute favorite thing to do. Being able to capture real memories, moments, and expressions is just priceless. But before we embarked on the fun-filled day, we headed up to the hay loft to try for one quick family portrait. A little tickling had to be employed to get the boys to cooperate for this one.


It was fun to watch Riley observing every little detail around the farm.


Doesn't Aedan look so grown up?


I think he was waving at Daddy, who was with the horses.


Aedan was such a helper!



I love this expression!


When Corey was brushing Kal, Riley leaned in for a hug, and gently rubbed Cal's side. Oh, melt my heart...





Jeremy let Kal work off some energy before the family rides.


Aedan loves riding.




I had to be sure to capture some special time between Jer and Kal.



I'm so glad I got to experience such a special part of their lives! Check out their slideshow to see more of the day.
