This sweet little boy took a plane ride half across the country just to see me! Ok no, actually he came to visit his family and celebrate his 2nd birthday with them. But, nevertheless, it was a joy for me to get to capture his sweet birthday photos! He wasn’t sure about the “flashes” at first, but soon we were signing some of his favorite tunes and smiling from ear to ear. Happy birthday, little Leon!

Here is the Kadel Family! As kids grow into adults, it gets tougher to bring everyone home long enough for photos, but I am so glad we were able to make it happen for this fam! It sounds likes it has been a minute since their most recent photos. Cozy in their sweaters, they put on their best smiles and braved a very cold, breezy day. But, I’d say the love among them kept them warm! Happy new year, Kadels!

Here is sweet one year old Cooper! He and his mama brought a few of his birthday party decorations which made for the cutest circus themed backdrop for his photos! This little boy is so special to his family, and you can see that in the lovingly hand-crafted toy box and chair that his grandpa made for him as well as the fun merry-go-round that belonged to his grandma. Happy first birthday, Coop!

There were a number of factors and changes that nearly cancelled this year’s session with the Novotnys. Maddie’s enjoying her first year of college, and Triston’s taking in his senior year of high school, but God gave us a sliver of time to round up everyone for photos. I know this makes their mama’s heart so happy. Time together is the very best gift, and I am so glad to capture it!

Stengel, party of five this year! Little sis, Elsi, has been such a sweet addition to this family, and she loves having her TWO big brothers to try to keep up with. It’s always fun to do life with this family – our husbands talk pigs and farming, the kids connect in 4-H and sports activities, and we moms just try our best to keep everyone and everything together! Happy fall, Stengel fam!
