Katie and I were next door neighbors almost my entire growing up years. The first year we lived in the house next to Katie and her family, we were invited to a block party. And that year, the kids put on a talent show for the adults.

Zoe blew me away during her senior session. Not only did she nail everything I asked her to do for poses, but she also told me she’s finishing her high school career at three different schools. DANG!

Last year I met Kayleigh and her adorable family of 3 when her mama booked a session with me while they were visiting Kayleigh, Taylor and Miles from Indiana. This year I got to meet Taylor’s family at another session with Kayleigh and her menfolk.

When Erika and I began planning for Autumn’s 4 year pictures she wanted to have this cute set up with a bunch of candy and rainbow and bright colors. We planned it for the end of April. It wouldn’t be too hot or too cold, we were going to borrow a fellow photog’s at home studio.
