holidays, little ones, we are family

Oh my gosh, how I adore the Hockensmiths! The first time I met them, I was doing pictures just for Haley, who was just around three years old. Mama Jacque was expecting Hannah at the time. And every year, once in the spring/summer & once in the fall, I’ve had the chance to chronicle the quickly growing girls. Daddy LeRoy is always so fun at our sessions too–he loves having a good time with his gals! I think I feel a special affection for them, because Jacque is a teacher, & Haley & Hannah remind me so much of my own Zoë & Zara. This year, the girls once again looked radiant in red, & I was so happy to find a pocket of sunshine for them to pose in…

fashion, little ones, outdoors, we are family

This is a little shout-out & sneak peek for my friend K, who is super stylish–a quality that trickles down in benefits to her children, who always look adorable. We had a really fun portrait session, & I just had to share some of the beautiful details from the wardrobe she prepped for her kids. The whole family looked fantastic, which is a great place to begin for photographs! Happy kids + clothes that reflect your personality + fun parents = great pictures!
