Fun, unique, Addison family session!

Fun doesn't even begin to cover how fabulous this family session was! Not only were they all totally gorgeous, but they were up for anything and ready to have a good time. Even though this is a blended family, you could never tell with how close the girls are with their step-mother, Thora. Steven and Thora (and the girls) will be welcoming a new little boy to their family in just a couple of months!

Thora + Steven + Braelyn + Kenzie + Cali + Isa = Totally awesome! Check it out for yourself.



You know you're off to a good start when climbing trees is involved.










One of my many faves!










We made sure to make a little time for Thora and Steven alone.










Thora is one of those radiant pregnant women. Gorgeous!




















Another mega-fave; they are adorable!




Cuddly family portraits are so much better than stiff ones!










Four beautiful girls :)


I had such a blast with you all, thanks for letting me take your picture!

Vivian & Adrian Sneak Peek!

I loved this wedding. Seriously. L-O-V-E

Here's a sneak peek.. More coming soon!











Happy Monday and have a beautiful week. With my brother's wedding coming up next weekend, I will be in the company of my family, so I know it'll be a great one for me!

Happy Friday!

I keep meaning to start up a regular Friday feature like I did the last two years but I haven't got there yet.. I have an idea but I'm lacking motivation.

For now, here's a song I'm digging:

OpLove: The P Family!

I had originally spoken with Tonnia about photographing her husband, Chris's, homecoming for his two week leave. If you have any family members or good friends in the military, or have been in it yourself, you know that plans get changed...a lot! Poor Tonnia was stuck in limbo, waiting for a real date that Chris would head home. Unfortunately, once he was finally on his way, it ended up conflicting with the session I had planned with Kathy & Kevin. So, instead of the homecoming I offered a mini session the next morning, which worked out beautifully!

I am so honored to have met this beautiful family. They were so sweet, and I could just tell how close they are. I felt joy in my own heart that they had their husband and father back, even if it was only two weeks this time. I know how hard it is to have seen my own family members be deployed, and I know how good it feels when they come back!

To Tonnia, Chris, Becca and Rachel - It was a pleasure to meet you all and I will keep you in my heart!



Yay for spring time colors!










Daddy and his two girls.










Chris thought it would be fun to use the bridge as a photo spot!










My favorite!
