Up-Close & Personal Photography

So thankful for having the absolute best clientele. Today we were facing spotty storms during our summer sets at Ankley Farm. So I had moved everyone up an hour ahead of our original schedule.

When I had arrived, the rain moved right up with all of us and we were forced to wait for it to lighten up. Which came in small increments lol. 😅
But I do have to say, we made it work and we all had the best kind of fun even if we were facing sprinkles and less sunshine than we had all planned.

Heading home I was greeted with a rainbow, and I can’t lie- I got emotional. The hormones hit full force, and I shedded a few tears. I’m so grateful to have clients and a grapevine that is openly flexible when needed most.

Of course, I would’ve rescheduled it if anyone had asked, however, everyone was so eager to get out there regardless of the weather- to just be together and make memories no matter what. And I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful for that.

Griffin & Megan are officially The Jacksons!
Happy first week of marriage to some of the most lovey-dovey people I've ever had the honor to capture. Their personal vows had everyone in tears, and struck home in so many ways.
I personally loved the moment that they invited everyone up to pray over them during their ceremony. What a special touch, being physically surrounded by God & family.

Just a quick peek into their ceremony and a few faves from the evening!

Monica's family has grown by one more pair of sandy little feet!
And suddenly the girlies look like they're ready to step foot into the big world, more sooner than later.
Someone toss me a real life pause button- not just the click of the shutter!

Woke up to only having two slots left for minis!
Can we book in full in the matter of 24 hours?
We shall see!!! 👀🤍😍

🍂🎃OFFICIAL FALL MINI DATE 🎃🍂
Due to being booked out completely for weekends for the remainder of the year. As well as being nice and fluffy & pregnant.🥰 I will only be offering one set of fall minis this year.
All other fall bookings will be booked as petite or full collections.

So with ONE mini date ahead of us- you know we absolutely HAD to pick a stunning location with multiple photo op areas!
The Ankley Family Farm offers gorgeous scenic tree lines, vintage trucks and tractors and unique set ups sprinkled throughout the property.
As well as multiple sunflower fields that rotate for blooms through to the end of season.
And of course we can't forget their amazing pumpkin displays! They spruce up each area around the farm for the season with pumpkins, gourds and mums galore.
(And you're even welcome to purchase them & take them home if you'd like! They offer the biggest variety of pumpkins I've ever seen. You seriously can not beat their prices! )

The Markey Family was the first to set toes in the sand with me this year! And the weather held out for us perfectly!
Can you tell that these precious girlies are daughters of a photographer? Look at those perfect smiles all the way around!
