When Stephanie contacted me, I honestly almost referred her to a different photographer.
You see, I had a baby only 3 months before her wedding date, and I had told my husband that I wasn’t going to take on any weddings for a year!
I am so glad I changed my mind. <3
There was so much “depth” and history between these two families. To see the joy and comfort that they give, not only to each other, but also to the others family, was a beautiful thing to see. Friends that had walked through the tough times together gathered around in celebration, of 2 hearts that have finally found the one that makes them complete.
These two love the Harry Potter books. There were subtle touches of it’s inspiration all through the details of their wedding. As I scouted out the venue, I saw this incredible tree. I knew I needed to create something special for them with it.
Some people might want doves on their wedding day. Others might just prefer white speckled owls. <3

Ok, so funny story,
I send out a questionnaire to all of my clients before their session. It’s a way for me to find out what you really want out of your session, the colors, the environment you are envisioning, unique family dynamics and I also ask for a little “insider info” if you have kids so I can connect with them a little faster and make them feel comfortable.
So I got the questionnaire back around 3 weeks before their session, and was “skimming” through…
- Bringing their 2 dogs – Check!
- Dogs are huge – Check!
- Lists all of their names – Check! (I am HORRIBLE with names. More on that in a sec)
- Chewy has 23 thousand followers on Instagram – WOW! Check!
- “Can we use some of the photos on his IG account?” – Of course! Check!
I reply and say everything looks great and of course they can use images on Instagram!
Fast forward to the day of their session… I am actually READING their questionnaire again (Trying to commit their names to memory because I suck at remembering names. Shoot! I can’t remember my own kids names half the time!) and realize that it isn’t her husband that has 23k followers on IG but their 150# Newfoundland dog Chewy’s account! HA!
So long story short. I suck at names. I try, but it really is not my strength, and I am sorry, but at this point it probably will get worse not better. lol
So this is me, introducing Chewy, the 3 year old 150# Newfoundland Puppy, with over THIRTY TIMES as many followers than I do! lol <3

I think one of the things I love most about working with young children is their unbridled joy. It is always genuine. Always open. Always beautiful. Their eyes are a direct window in to their hearts. One of the most precious things I can give to a mom and dad is to be able to see how much their family loves them. Sometimes in the midst of the work of “life” we forget how deeply and beautifully those we love, love us back.
It’s gorgeous, and I never get tired of getting to witness it.

I am so excited to be on this photographic journey with this wonderful family once again! I have had the wonderful pleasure of documenting this little boy from his newborn photos, all the way to this moment. He will be a big brother before the end of the year and I can’t wait to, not only track along with his baby sister, but also get to watch him change and grow in to his new big brother shoes as well.

Welcoming a new baby in to the family is full of transition and growth. Sometimes it can be “uncomfortable”, but it is a time so full of precious moments and blessings that should not be taken for granted. Five times we have welcomed a unique and special new little soul in to the world. I know personally what joy they bring and how much their older siblings gain from their addition.
Looking through these photos makes my heart beat a little faster for them. This little girl is going to be such a fantastic big sister, and I know firsthand the joy that is around the corner for these sweet parents, as they see their girls bond and grow up together.

I couldn’t love these people any more than I already do. They have been through so much, and have kept their eyes on what is important, and found hope in the middle of so much uncertainty. It’s beautiful really. To watch someone walk through horribly hard circumstances, and cling to each other instead of pushing away.
I can’t help but love these images, because they represent their whole world. The 3 of them. In love with each other, and genuinely enjoying their moments together.

I don’t often do cake smashes, but this was so much fun! As she sat there, she kept looking at the cake and barely wanting to touch it. Her sister, was eager to show her what she was missing out on though. As soon as her big sis sat down next to her, she just lit up, and they had so much fun feeding the frosting to each other. <3
I have had the wonderful experience of seeing her grow this past year. We have done a photo session about every 3 months and it’s been so special to document these “little” moments. I know all too well how quickly the first year passes. I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate her first birthday than with photos that have all of her favorite people in the world in them.

Holy chicken!!! I can’t believe how many pictures I took this month! It’s a good thing I started editing them early…
What would the 4th of July be without sparklers and fireworks?!?
I hear “Can I hold the baby?” about a million times a day and it seems like we are all a little extra tired lately. lol
She has changed our world and we are all so much better for it. <3
Dress up
We found a blue hat at Unclaimed Baggage that he absolutely fell in love with!
Madie had her newborn photos taken with Heartstrings by Heather. Heather is a wonderful photographer and seriously amazing at styling! I can’t wait to see how they turn out. I got to take a few behind the seines shots for Heather while she worked.
3 week check up! I am wondering if the scale was off… lol. She was only 7lb 1oz when she was born. I am having a hard time believing she gained a whole 1lb 10 oz in just 3 weeks!
My Aunt Patti came down from Indiana to visit! While she was here she cooked for us (many times), cleaned my house, painted both of the kids rooms, watched the kids so I could go run errands and gave us some great tips on how to improve our bowling score! Can’t wait to see here again in September!!!
I couldn’t help it! I decided to take a few newborn images of my own. <3
I don’t know how she didn’t wake up with 4 wiggly kids touching her at the same time, but I seriously love how it turned out. So much sentimentality in one image!
I may need to take a shot like this every month. The couch cushions would be a great way to show her growth!
Emma decided Madie needed someone to snuggle with. She told me that she loves her baby doll and wanted Madie to play with her. lol

She was just standing there in her cute “twirly dress” and the wind was blowing in her Xtrutuf boots… I absolutely love going out to the land. So many beautiful moments while we work on our dreams.
Many of the images I took this month were taken on my new Fuji x100f. I purchased it primarily for my personal photos but after taking these with an underwater housing I am seriously considering using it to offer pool sessions next year! I seriously LOVE it! I have always struggled with needing an extra bag and an extra hand for my D750. The Fuji has enabled me to capture personal moments that would have just gone undocumented. It’s small enough to go with me EVERYWHERE (including the pool!) and that is exactly what I needed.
I think I may need another external hard drive if I keep taking pictures the way I have been this past month! lol
But seriously, I am so pleased with my Fuji x100f. It’s small enough to bring it everywhere with me and I can hold it with one hand! (a must if you have 5 kids) I have been able to capture so many more moments than I would have with my Nikon. It’s seriously a game changer as I pursue documenting my own family. <3

There was a time I wondered if these images would ever get taken! We had to reschedule TWICE because of the weather and then at the last minute we did another schedule switch because I had a Saturday come available at the last minute and we new the weather would be nice.
With all of that said, I was PRAYING on the way to their session that it would be fantastic! Even though the reschedules were out of my control, this type of thing never happens and I just felt so bad!!! I desperately wanted it all to be worth it for this amazing family. <3
Fast forward a bit and I seriously couldn’t be happier with the images we got! Goodness!!! They are all gorgeous but on top of that we did some serious “bonding” with all of the fun we had. Jumping, running, twirling, laughing, kissing, snuggling, finding baby frogs, catching grasshoppers and just genuinely enjoying each other.
This family is amazing,
and it shows,
in every single image. <3

This family has been with me from just about the beginning of JMP. They have added another 2 members over the years but its been a beautiful journey.
We spent the evening out on our land and it was a gorgeous evening. Twirling, snuggling, kissing, squeezing, belly laughs, picking wild flowers, tall grass and sunsets. One of my favorite ways to put another amazing day to rest. <3
