…Wentke Family | Family Session | Temperance MI…

oh this is a sweet family. fellow westerners. we talked about wyoming….open spaces, prairie, animals. life out west.
three of the sweetest kids. their personalities were so precious to observe. dad got stuck at work, but was able to make it just as the sun dipped down for the night. 
we traipsed all over my yard. they got covered in burrs. the kids must have removed 200000 burrs of their clothing.
but these were soooo worth it.

they had the best outfits. socks. boots. suspenders. so fun. i will never forget the “my name is hunter. my boots have my name.” he was so proud.

a few favorites!

i love this family. seven beautiful children. i have done photos with them every year since i started my business. i love watching them grow!
we met on one of the hottest days of the year. it was humid, buggy, the wheat was scratchy.
we took a break for juice and cake from grandma.
the kids were troopers!
this was their grandpa’s last wheat field and was scheduled to be cut the next morning.

here are a few favorites!

a set of twins. those curls. the sweetest big brother. it was quite chilly and breezy, but this sweet family was up for traipsing through the tall grass, snuggling in blankets, playing games.

i love how they look at her. you can see their love.

oh the weather made this session almost happen. we reschedule a few weeks ago due to a downpour. it rained most of the day on sunday. we were predicted to have one hour of no rain so we decided to try to fit it in between rain drops. it was chilly and drizzly, but they didn’t mind! miss E. you are one loved little lady. i can’t believe how much you have grown. six months already!

she loves to stand on their legs. she rocks a pink helmet. she lights up when they talk to her. 

miss e, you are one lucky girl. they will give you their all.

…Kwiatkowski Family | Temperance, MI…

these four. i love it when natural personalities come out in a session. we practiced prom poses, senior photo poses. we played with my chickens, we traipsed through elbow high grass and were nearly eaten alive by mosquitoes. 

but it was so worth it.

their fifth sibling is in the military over seas, so we were only able to get these four together. 

laughter. so much laughter.

…Becker Family | Dundee, MI | Newborn Session…

“I want adventure in the great wide somewhere! I want it more than I can tell!” – Belle

This sweet little baby girl. Six days new and completely adored by her parents. Their first baby. Baby Everly. Those sweet firsts are so special, right in the middle of those first sleepless nights.

I got to help with her first babywearing up. Pavo wraps are amazing. Daddy surprised her with this sweet wrap. Just like that she settled right in and fell asleep. Those little toes, fingers, and sweet sighs. Dark raven hair.  She was so alert and loved to look intently at each of them.  Grandma brought her Baptismal gown. This gown was worn by mom and her two aunts.

They will help her become whatever she wants.

Sweet Everly, I can’t wait to see your adventures.

Here are a few favorites! 

Enjoy!

Oh, because..you are the best thing…ever happened to me…(Ray LaMontagne)

This sweet little family came to my house last week and we had a gorgeous 70 degree day in the end of October! The leaves were at their peak. The air smelled of fall. Perfect. Giggles. Sweet babies.

The little girl was adorable and kind. Little brother was quite unsure of my random antics to try to steal a smile. If you need outfit suggestions, just ask Jessica. Their colors were perfect. His little vest, perfect. She is a Lularoe consultant and fellow photographer. I know how hard it is to get photos with your kids! Their kids loved the kisses and cuddles. His sweet little fingers played with her necklace. Her perfect little kisses kissed her dads cheek. These sweet little moments should be remembered forever.

A few favorites.
Enjoy…
