My kiddo is nervous about going about to school. I am nervous about her going back to school.
We're all making the best of a situation that none of us have ever been in before, and so to ease her nerves, and mine a little bit too, we had a fun little back to school session with the school buses.
Sass-a-frass!










Alice is the sweetest.
She is one of those babies that you wish you could bottle all of her enthusiasm and energy and laughter up for a long rainy day, when you need a bit of sunshine. She is adventurous and funny and, obviously, loves strawberries and her momma.
And now she is ONE. I have photographed Alice once before with her cousins, and I imagine we are going to see each other plenty over the next few years!















Let me tell you about Karson. He didn't get newborn photos because Co-VID was just about in full swing by that time, and now that he is about 6 months old, it was time to get him in front of the camera!
He was so stinking sweet and funny the whole time. Well-behaved and smiley.
I get a whole session with his whole family in October, and I can only hope for half the smiles we got on this day.
Now that I am finally getting caught up on blogging, I can put up Celena's senior session! Celena's dad is my cousin, and it is hard to think that his girls are old enough to be graduating!
This tomgirl got dressed up and looked beautiful for her session, and she even let her sister put makeup on her.
I warned her that it would feel weird to do some of the prompts and poses, but as usual, she was not disappointed!







Since these photos were taken, Jake and Melissa had their third baby boy Joe! And let me assure you, he is the cutest thing ever.
But anyway, Jake's mom gifted this session to them before she knew she was pregnant, but it worked out beautifully for everyone. And if you've ever wondered if I ever realllllly wanted to shoot in a pasture with cows, the answer would be YES. I have seen some gorgeous photos of families in large pastures with their cows and always thought it was neat. So when Melissa mentioned she wanted the cows, I tried to hide my excitement. I really love when clients want to incorporate what makes them feel like home, and this is what the Sands do, who they are.
