Oh I love this family! It was soo great getting to see them again, after photographing Nikki & Chuck’s wedding several years ago! They are such wonderful, kind people!! They are major troopers, too because on the morning that we did their shoot, it was a brisk, windy 38 degrees…and I could barely move my fingers to photograph them….so it’s majorly impressive that they all look soo happy and smiley!! Most people would have said NO thanks, this is miserable and WAY too cold…but not this awesome family…they sucked it up and enjoyed themselves (ok, enjoy might be a stretch!) anyway!! Hoskins & Pulfer Family…thank you for such a great shoot and for enduring the cold for me!! I think it proved to be well worth it! I hope you agree!!

Every year, there is a day when I am out photographing and it’s a noticable turning point in the weather. The wind has a bite to it and never really seems to end, the leaves are mostly gone and the trees are noticably bare, there is either a crunch or a squish everywhere you walk, fall has come to a close…and winter is knocking on the door. It was THAT day. And I felt bad because I had a day full of shoots and noone really wants to be outside having fun and being cute when they are freezing and being blown away! So, I felt bad for these sweet Rettig girls…I really did. As you will see though, they were serious troopers through it all! Ellen, Thank you for your patience , help and bribes in order to get great smiles! I hope that “biggest waffle cone EVER” with gummy bears and m&m’s was REALLY great, Mia! Despite the cold and wind….we got tons of great images of these SUPER adorable girls and I really did enjoy my time with them!! Thanks soo much, Ellen, Caroline, Cate & Mia for being soo wonderful to work with!
