{H} Family + 1 Year

Whoa, whoa whoa. Time has simply gone by at lighting speed. It was just last week (I swear) that I photographed this little man as a newborn… right? But here we are, Atticus is standing (almoooooost walking) and babbling/chatting up a storm with me. His a little charmer, I tell you. It’s been absolute pleasure capturing this little guy throughout his first year of life. Man did that year fly byyyyyy!!! Happy 1st Birthday, little man! I can’t wait to see what is in store for you yet! <3

{C} Senior Sisters

Awwwwwh senior year! A year full of perks, college prep, planning and basically freedom! How lucky are these twin sisters? I’ve known their Aunt for the past 10 years and in some ways saw these girls grow up (from a far, but you know what I mean). So weird that they are now SENIORS in high school! Congrats girls and best of luck at Augustana and Minnesota!

{Marshall Family Reunion}

What I can say about this family? No words will ever do them justice… but 5 of these people I’ve known my entire life and are borderline the best people I know. The Marshall clan is 25 percent awesome, 25 percent kind and 50 percent hilarious. There is never a dull moment with them. I had the wonderful opportunity to be amongst this group for just a few hours during their reunion weekend in Wisconsin. A weekend I am sure was filled with lots of laughter, song and stories. The epitome of family right here:

I mean…. loooooooook at this little munchkin!!!! Wesley has officially hit the 6 month milestone and what a joy he is!

Little man, Griffin is turning the big ONE this weekend and ZOMG, look at those eyelashes. And seriously, those two tiny, cute, bottom teeth? They KILL me. I spent Wednesday night with this absolutely adorable family capturing their little man hit this BIG milestone. A shoot filled with lots of kisses, cake smashing and one adorably, happy boy – I think it’s safe to say this one was a blast. Ps. I think he likes cake… But being messy? Not so much. My kind of boy.
