Promised a belated a Christmas brunch afterward, Kristen gathered her family for these beautiful winter family photos. And, I think, the snow and frosty trees gave us such pretty background like many of us have not seen for years. But, most importantly, everyone was together, and I can just imagine the giggles of unwrapping gifts and laughs around the farmhouse table that took place later this day.
Great to see you all, Brinegars, and hope you had a great rest of your day!

Born on Christmas Day, little Wesley was the most wonderful gift to his entire family! His spunky big brother loves hims so much already and cannot wait for him to start jumping into play with him! They’re already sharing trucks, tractors, and and so much love! Snuggled into the comforts of home, we captured some very sweet moments of all of them. Welcome to the world, Mr. Wesley!

I had so much fun working with the Ficken fam over Christmas break while everyone was home for the holidays. Several years ago we took their photos when those grandkids were much smaller and a few have joined the family since! We ended the session with a few just-for-fun photos…
stocking hats, slippery slide, and a good ol’ snowball fight with Uncle Kam.
Great to see you all, Fickens, Kochs, and Murkens!

It was an honor to get to photograph the entire Scripter family in celebration of Grandma Dot’s fabulous 90th birthday. Dotty is my husband’s aunt’s mother, but through the years she feels more like someone I have known my entire life. She is a joyful ray of light and exudes happiness, hugs, and love to all around her. She has even joined us to celebrate our kids’ birthdays, invited our family down for a fun day at her home and local waterpark, and gifted me a beautiful bracelet “just because.”
To know Dotty is to know what it feels like to be so, so loved.
And, I hope she felt that same way on her birthday, because she sure deserves it!
Happy birthday, Grandma Dotty!

It worked out nicely that we were able to catch Baby Quinn’s 9 month milestone and some family photos all at the same time. The weather worked out perfectly, and even despite some “itchy” dresses, the girls kept smiling for the camera! Now that harvest is wrapped, we’re all ready to slide into holiday mode.
Happy early holidays, Walters fam!
