So this post is way overdue…. Natalie’s 1st birthday was in June, and for her birthday present Jessica asked me if I would document the day. Jessica is one my BEST friends, and lives up in Georgia and I miss her sooo much! Anyways we had a blast at her pool party :)

Then a few weeks before Josh and moved, we headed out to the sunflower fields for a little family sesh. Jessica has been bringing her family here for years and has made it is a huge summer tradition.

How could she be sad with all these presents ? We found out it was all because of that cute little hat!

She loves getting birthday cards !

Now to the sunflower fields we go….

Jessica is a photographer too!

This picture cracks me up…When Jessica was taking the pictures of the girls, I snapped one right behind her and this little bee decided to make his cameo on my blog.

After that Taylor was terrified of the bees!

Are they not adorable ?

Thursday night when we arrived for Julie and Justin’s family shoot, mother nature decided it would be a perfect time for a downpoor ! Which was awful timing because Justin had to go out of town the following day for business. “Oh no! “, I thought, what are we going to do??

Well, Julie and her three beautiful boys met me at the beach early on Friday. Thankfully the skies held up for our shoot. We had an awesome time running around on the beach, and it was absolutely amazing watching Julie with her sons. Her face lights up each time she would look at them and you could feel the deep love that she felt for them. I felt so honored to be there capturing her and her “earth angels.”

So even though Justin was not able to make it to our shoot, I believe that everything happens for a purpose. And lucky for me I get to hang out with this super cool family again in the fall to shoot their christmas photos and do a little lifestyle session. Lucky for you, you get to see this beautiful family again – but this time with the man of the house Justin.

Isn’t she beautiful??

This is Ford, I had a blast following him around…and boy does he love his momma!

This is one of my favorite pictures ever! He was lovin looking for shells!

Ford kept kissing Julie, it was so sweet!

This is also another favorite from the day! I love it!

This one melts my heart!
