Lots of Smiles Closer! Catching up…

Happy summer!  Time to catch up… I have been bad about blogging the photos I’ve been shooting to help raise funds for Justin and Meredith to bring home our niece, Mia.  I’ll share a few from a couple sessions from this summer!  I really enjoy getting to visit with the families and also step outside of my normal job/duties to shoot photos.

Talk about the cutest expressions!  Little Gracey Krauth, our friends Chris & Karen’s daughter, is the sweetest 6 month old!  I have the privilege of taking photos for Gracey’s 3, 6, 9 and 12 month milestones.  It’s amazing how much she has changed in just 3 months and I can’t wait for the next stage!  Enjoy this sweet smile…

I first worked with the wonderful Stavnes family back in October.  Their family is passionate about adoption and orphan care and family!  Their adorable son, Elijah, was adopted from Ethiopia.  I had a large group to work with that afternoon for sure… Amy’s brother’s family and also her Mom and Dad all came out for a big family shoot.  In addition to trying to round up 6 kids and 6 adults to all simultaneously look at the camera, I also did individual family shots of each.  Enjoy a few of the favorites…
