I know I say it all the time, but really…families are really so cute and fun to take pictures of in so many different ways.  What I loved about these two little kiddos was their energy.  Mom and Dad were such troopers with their daughter running in one direction, with their toddler son running in another.    Look at big bro squeezing baby sis to pieces on the bench! :)  That was a cute spontaneous moment between the two of them! 

What an adorable little family!  It was so much fun to shoot at this location because their oldest son is in love with barns.  It worked out perfectly!!  Mom and I are part of a wonderful playgroup that we do on a weekly basis, so when I was editing these pictures, my son was literally jumping out of his skin, screaming their names at the computer!  So cute. 

I knew this would be my *last* senior session of the year before I “hung up my camera” so to speak, until the start of the new year.   Baby numero dos is well on its way, and it was beginning to get tricky finding ways to help myself up from all of the contorted positions I put myself in to get different perspectives and looks for my clients:)  So, with that in mind, and also the knowlege that our little family might not be here next summer due to my husband’s residency program had me pulling out all the stops.  I’ve been eyeing ALL of these places, or cars for that matter, for a long time now just waiting for the perfect shoot.   I seriously considered trading in one of my arms so I can buy this truck off of the man who graciously let us borrow it for the shoot.  I was in love with it that much.  

So after getting permission (always a GREAT idea) from the people who owned the land (or the vehicle) I headed downtown with Shelby to do her senior pictures.  My goodness, is she not beautiful?!  To say the camera loved her would be an understatement.  I had such a blast on this shoot!!
