Mother's Day Mini's

I think all moms can agree that being a mom is the best job in the whole world.  At times, it is the hardest, most challening role we have, but also the most rewarding.  

Mother's Day is a day set aside to honor the women in our lives that have supported us, pushed us, and loved us at our worst.  No one lives up to the ideal picture of mom, and we all struggle, but we love unconditionally, infinitely, and fiercely!  We are overcomers, we are survivors, we are fighters, and we do all of it for our kids!  Happy Mother's Day to ALL moms! 

 

 

 

Apple Blossoms

In the Spring, we get a first glimpse of this fruit we harvest in the Fall.  I'm already thinking apple pie, apple cobbler, apple butter, applesauce, etc!
The bees were working hard the day I took these pictures!

 

Becky {SR15}

For Becky's Senior pictures we chose to break up the session between Fall and Spring.  In the Fall, we traveled to private family land in Winfield, and then in the Spring, we went to Oldtown in Wichita.

Becky loves books, especially Harry Potter.  She also plays the violin in Orchestra and is an active member of FFA and Parlaw.  She plans to go to K-State in the fall.

Becky has been an adopted part of our family for several years.  It has been an honor watching her grow into a wonderful young lady.  We will miss you and wish you the best! XOXO

 

 

 

{Generations}

Can you tell which one is the grandma?  Yeah, me neither!  These lovely ladies call each other mom, sister, daughter.  They are raising a combined 5 kids together!
The location of choice was the Keeper of the Plains.  It was a cool day and the wind off the water was brutal, but we managed to get some beautiful pictures!  Weren't they all perfectly coordinated?

The Noll Family

Spring has me back into the swing of things.  Last year I made the decision to no longer do studio work in my home.  I welcome the slow down in winter, but by the time spring rolls around I am ready to get back to work!

This weekend I had the pleasure of getting to see the Noll family.  I started taking pictures of them about 3 years ago, when their first son, Reid, was an infant. One of my favorite things about family photography is watching kids and families grow.  The Noll's welcomed their second son, Lane, 6 months ago.  We met at Naftzger Park in downtown Wichita.  The spring colors made for a beautiful session and the boys were perfect little gentlemen! 

 

Reagan {1 year}

One of the best things about my job is watching babies grow.  Its so bittersweat to watch them meet milestones.  I have had the privilege to watch Reagan grow over the last year.  This girl always has a smile and such a sweet disposition.  It might help that she has an awesome big brother and sister that  are always there to give her something to smile about! 

We ended up at the Hotel at Oldtown to take advantage of their warm lobby and gorgeous decor!
