I would love for you to meet the Hinrichs Family!  They are the third Hinrichs-with-an-i family I had the honor to photograph this summer, and I believe they are all related somehow.  Pat gave me a call and said they had special tractors they wanted to include with their photos.  These two Rumely Oil Pullers have been in the family for quite some time, and I love how much they mean to the family.  I am sure many stories could be told about these implements, and the grandkids sure won’t forget the day they took family pictures and each of them got to hop up into the old seat and take a turn at the wheel.
Enjoy these keepsakes, Hinrichs family, it was lovely spending a beautiful afternoon with you all!

I am so proud to introduce Mr. & Mrs. Brinegar!  From the minute I pulled up to Erika’s home where all the ladies were getting ready, there were seven campers parked around the farm, and I knew the day was going to be epic.  The day’s details were simple yet elegant, and so much love was evident among lots of family & great friends, and especially between Dietrich & Erika. One of my favorite moments as photographer is getting to witness the couple’s first glance at each other.  This time, the two moms also chose to stand on the sidelines and witness their two children literally walking into their next chapter of life. That moment always symbolizes what makes the marriage so special, and to see those two mothers there beaming with all their love and support felt like the epitome of unconditional love.
Congratulations, Dietrich & Erika, you two make such a wonderful pair!  May you enjoy forever together.

And, the “Happiest Baby on Earth” award goes to…Lennon!  She was grinning from ear to ear from the moment we arrived at the shoot until it was time for her to go home.  Just when I thought her smile could not get any bigger, her mommy & daddy brought out her stuffed fox and penguin then there was definitely no turning back on her smiles.   She is such a sweet, happy, little pea with her animals, and she looks darling in mustard!  Happy 1st birthday, Lennon!

Welcome to the world, baby Nash!  I am so lucky to get to call this short, dark, & handsome little man my nephew.  He is a wonderful addition to round out his family of now seven, and his big siblings were very glad he followed the boy/girl pattern – good job, God!   And, speaking of God, getting to photograph tiny newborns always leaves me in awe of what miracles babies and children really are. This little man is no exception – perfectly created in each and every way!
Welcome to the family, Nash Henry!  I cannot wait to see who you become.  -Love, Aunt Whitney

Meet the second Hinrichs Family I was lucky enough to photograph this summer!  I just love all these big families I get to spend some time with.  It is like a little glimpse into their world.  And, it makes me realize that these families do not just appear overnight.  I think of all the years Mom & Dad were raising their young children who are now in the midst of raising their children.  I think of the countless memories they have made – the hard times, the good times, and all the other little times in between.
Thanks for having me out to the farm, Hinrichses!  Keep on enjoying each other!
