The Wrights

I have been looking forward to doing a lifestyle session with the Wrights for quite some time. They're such a sweet, beautiful, and happy family, and they exceeded my expectations in every way!

Since baby Camryn was enjoying her morning nap when I arrived, Jadon got some fantastic quality time. Reading a book was the first order of the day. I love this expression!


Then it was time to play with cars...


Jadon loved the tickle fights, wrestling, jumping, chasing, climbing... Whew! I bet he enjoyed a nap after all that!


Running around all over the house makes getting some blurry shots inevitable. Those don't usually make the cut, but I just fell in love with this one. The movement and emotion is perfect.


I think he was getting a little worn out?


Taking a rest reading with Daddy. I love how they each have their own teddy bear!


While the boys took a break with a book, Camryn had awaken and was enjoying a meal. Such a beautiful, quiet moment.


Too cute!



Jadon had gotten his second wind! Suzy told me that Jadon climbs all over Don on a daily basis. Who needs a jungle gym when you have Dad?


And then came my favorite line of the day, from Suzy: "Jadon, do you want to jump on the bed?" Yep--the perfect parents! :)


I love love LOVE this one!


Such beautiful ladies!



And then it was family story time. Aren't they picture perfect?


It was such a fun day! Be sure to check out their slideshow to see the whole experience!

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.
