betsy & tom and their tree.

we’ve been photographing these two at this same spot since their wedding in 2011. at their wedding, they planted a tulip tree and every year we meet them in the woods and document their love. their fun family has grown (as you can see from this blog post with cuties mirabelle & bennett!). we stole these two off by themselves for a few minutes and grabbed a few images of them alone. we can’t believe how big the tree is getting!

anyways, thanks for always being happy and fun to photograph…we love you guys!

the schubbe family. (with a little one on the way!)

hello friends!

as i’m now posting the schubbe family blog a bit late, they have, of course, already welcomed little baby joey to the family!

we sure do love this family…we’ve been included in some of the biggest and best days they’ve had, and we couldn’t have been more excited to get some images this time around!

it was a REALLY chilly day in february when we took these, but they braved the weather like CHAMPS…and even buck the wonder poodle made the trip, even if he was busy off camera eating tissues! lol!

anywho, baby joey made her appearance in april safe and healthy and everyone is doing amazing, so cheers to the schubbe family!

stay tuned for regular updates on here…we’ve got about 13 posts in queue, so LOTS OF FUN STUFF IS COMING SOON!!!

we met up with jeff right before the weather started to turn chilly and there were still a bunch color on the trees (the BEST part of the year, am i right?!). jeff was looking for some updated headshot/photos for a big new project he’s working on! here are a few of our favorites. thanks for fun morning jeff, and we can’t wait to see your new site!

sarah, phil & tommy.

happy new family! we were SO excited to meet little tommy, since the last time we met up with his mom & dad, he was still growing in her belly. this little guy sure is loved. we spent some time with these guys at their house, hanging out and letting them just be a new family (which is how we love most to photograph families!). welcome to the world tommy, and lots of love to your mom & dad…we’re excited to see you grow and to document more fun moments.

sarah has mermaid hair. motherhood also fits her so well.

he was up and alert for most of the session…i think we wore him out, as we were tearing down and finishing up he finally crashed and was out. sweet boy.

some of the fun details tommy has in his room. all adventure themed…love it!

LUCKY in LOVE 2018.
