I have enjoyed getting to know this sweet, Christian young lady over the last couple years. She is truly a gem! When her step dad called up to see if I could take some pictures for her prom night I was delighted! I hope you enjoy the images from this session. Be sure to leave a comment below! Right now we are cooking up some plans and preparations for her senior pictures, so stay tuned! Speaking of senior pictures, if you have a 2018 senior the time is now to get those sessions booked! Don't wait till late summer! Check out my senior sessions HERE. Please contact Sylvia or her family for prints, but do not take, download or print screen shots. Thank you!

I have another favorite type of session; Tween sessions. I find this age such a joy for a variety of reasons. One of them is tween's are the perfect blend of child and grown up! So mature, but not so mature they won't try some fun ideas (like a crown-insert swoon-)! One of the things I especially love about these sessions is it gives tween's a chance to shine, and is a healthy way to get a great and often times needed confidence boost as they begin their journey through the teen years. This particular tween was just on the edge, she's now a teen, so this is also a birthday session of sorts. She is also a very special young lady to us, she's our babysitter! We could not have asked for a better one either. Our family has been so blessed and impressed by her as we have gotten to know her over this summer. This young lady loves sports, arts and crafts, hunting, boating, water skiing and tubing, farming, babysitting, and most of all Jesus! Please enjoy her post and if you know a youth between 10-12 please tell them about my tween and tween-turning-teen sessions! I would just love to do more of these!

This lovely family's late fall photography session turned out well I thought. The muted colors of late fall are not something I am used to working with. I think one of the advantages to them is they help to create a look that will suit almost any color of wall, and the best part, you can get away with wearing colors that you cannot wear in the months when there is more color outdoors. I also like how the people really stand out in scenes with a more muted background. Of course the little mini waterfall at this spot always compliments sessions so nicely. It's been my most popular location this year. It took us a couple tries on this session because of the time of year being so unpredictable with the weather, but we did it. The weather was a little nippy but nothing we could not handle. I'm so thankful for family's like this one that are so easy to work with and will brave the cooler weather with me. And this tween, isn't she just beautiful!? I cannot get over the hair, and those eyes! I've just got to tell the story of what happened on this family's session day! It's too funny not to share. We had so many emails going back and forth trying to work with the weather on this session as it was so unpredictable, and then there were our schedules to coordinate as well, and we finally nailed down a day and time. But uh oh! Somewhere along the lines wires were crossed! I thought we decided on Sunday. Mrs. Panning thought we decided on Saturday. Imagine my surprise when on Saturday as I was going over my kids schoolwork one of them announced "Somebody is here!". I wondered who it could be. When I realized who it was I panicked for a second. Thankfully, my husband was off work that day. Talk about a big relief! He was outside when they arrived and he knew I wasn't planning the session that day so he greeted them and told them he would just run in and let me know they were here. He came in the house nervous, "I thought you were not doing their session till tomorrow?" "Me to!" I responded! "But look at her" I said as I peered out the window, "She's all ready, It is so hard getting ready for pictures, I cannot send them away! please stall them while I get ready?" Thankfully that was not a problem at all, my husband didn't have major plans that afternoon, and he actually knew Mr. Panning and had always enjoyed visiting with him (one of the perks of living in a small community). So get ready I did! In RECORD time! I think it took me all of 5 minutes! One of the nice things about doing this as long as I have is my gear is generally always ready to go. And it was kind of neat, I learned something about my skills this day and how far God has brought me since day one. Normally I spend awhile planning out each detail of a session. But I didn't have that advantage this day and yet it was not a problem. Of course this was an exception and I'll always plan when I can, but it's nice to know that I can do this if need be without extensive planning and still have beautiful results. And check it out! Hedge balls! I am sure the family must have thought I was nuts. I had been wanting to use the hedge balls at this spot since I saw them. But they were across the stream, and it was cold! So first off I had to get across the stream (which is around 15-20 wide) because all the hedge balls were on the other side, then I had to throw them across. Mr. Panning then had to gather them as I threw them and toss them up to the area we wanted them in, it was quite the ordeal! They kept laughing all the while, it was great! But I am crazy about hedge balls, this was the first year I discovered them! I had never seen them before. I love them in photographs, and in my home, at my doorstep, everywhere! I think they are just lovely! I love how they pop against the more muted colors here. Enjoy this sweet family's session! Images and text copyright protected by law. All rights reserved.
