Here’s senior Jaycie Hoins!  Friendly smile…check.  Beautiful heart….check.  Dimples…check!
The turning autumn leaves paired with this pretty girl made for a perfect afternoon of picture taking.  It has been so fun to watch Jaycie grow up as member of our church and a pillar of the youth in our community, and I’ve only had the pleasure of doing so for the past five years or so.  Jaycie, I know whatever you choose to pursue in life, you’ll do great.  Enjoy this year!

Get a load of these four blue-eyed blondies!  Each is like another sibling in some ways but with his or her own little personality and precious character.  I had the privilege to photograph these cuties last fall, and it is fun to see how much each has grown in just one year.  And, don’t worry, even as the only boy in a group of four, Chase holds his own as the girls play mother hens.  I am sure there is never a dull moment in their house, but what a wonderful little family they have.  Oltmans106Oltmans113Oltmans134Oltmans138BWOltmans142Oltmans150Oltmans163BWOltmans174Oltmans186Oltmans191Oltmans198Oltmans205Music: Encouraging Words

These two are full of spunk and smiles!   From the minute I met them both they kept me entertained, to say the least.  Within seconds I figured out that Maddie’s a dancer as she popped right into pose for me.  And, Triston told me he really doesn’t like to smile, but I beg to differ.  We did have to dodge a few cow pies to get to the old tractor, but that still didn’t stop them from looking oh-so-adorable!Wells100Wells104Wells105BWWells110Wells112BWWells121Wells122Wells129Wells133Wells137Wells147Wells150Wells154Wells159Wells161Wells165Wells167

I’ve known Kinsley’s mama, Kendra, for quite some time now- since fourth grade to be exact.  Growing up, we’ve been through a lot – the good, the bad, and, unfortunately, some ugly.  But, no matter where life has taken us, we always have a rooted understanding for one another and can pick up right where we left off.  I so admire the little family she is raising.  She and Justin have two of the sweetest little girls, and it’s hard to believe the younger, Kinsley, is nearly two years old already!   We had a great time taking pictures not just with Kins, but with her close family, too.
Happy 2nd birthday in a few weeks, Miss Kinsley!  Keep rockin’ those cowgirl boots!

Welcome to the world, Miss Emily Ann!  I’ve got to tell you this precious little peanut wins an award for being the most content newborn I’ve ever had the privilege to photograph.  She gave me at least half a dozen smiles from her cozy, baby dreamland, and just when I thought she’d had enough of me…she smiled again!  It sounds like she’s making life equally easy for her first-time parents, and I’m sure they are ever so grateful for that.
I treasure your contentment, little Emily!  I cannot wait to watch you grow.
