a house with a roof
a running car
a job I love
clients and friends who inspire me
drivers who wave when you let them in
strangers who smile back
a family who has loved me and supported me unconditionally
a half sister who I haven’t seen in years yet comments on almost every Facebook post
being godparents to two girls I love more than I knew was possible 
a G-Ma who would do anything for me, and has
a papa who loved me as though I were his granddaughter by blood
Best friends who:
I can laugh with and cry with
are loyal, without question
are now my family
A mom who:
is healthy
is getting straight A’s in both of her classes!
I have a great relationship with
A husband who:
makes me laugh daily
celebrates my birthday every month on the 14th (the last was 30 and 5/12ths)
can articulate my thoughts better than I can
loves his family
loves my family
has patience
makes me heart-shaped food every year on Valentine’s Day
thinks I’m the most beautiful when I wake up in the morning
is my very best friend
holds my hand as often as he can
likes my laugh best when it’s the dorkiest
loves me with his whole heart
What I’m most thankful for… Living a life I’m proud of.
And now I’m in a pile of tears.
Each and every single one of you owe it to yourself to take a few hours today (or any day) and really think about and write down all of the things in your life you’re thankful for. And if your list, like mine, includes people… take the time to tell them what they mean to you. You owe it to them.
And to the best, most loyal blog readers around… from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Love,

I couldn’t have BEEN more excited to photograph her family. She’s beautiful inside and out! Oh, and the freckles are a TOTAL bonus.
…not to mention that her family is perfect! Andy is the nicest of the nice. And Evie… ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?! She’s the kind of kid that makes me want one for myself! AHHHHH!!!! SHE’S SO DAMN CUTE! My favorite
At first glance you’d think that Evie (pronounced EE-vee) looks identical to her dad. I thought so too until I was being a creeper on Facebook and ran across a 
However that mouth… that’s all Andy!
This age is my favorite to photograph
Hmm… wonder where she learned this trick?! Being that these two images were taken within 20 seconds of each other… and the one on the right was taken first… I’d say it’s a clue! 
They both work for John Deere in Iowa (where they met)… after hearing that I went on a full out mission to find the perfect John Deere tractor for our session. My favorite
The sun was so perfectly golden…
They met while working in the Grain Tank department… so of COURSE we had to get a photo with some corn!
High fives to the farmer who let us photograph his tractor! 
Then a wardrobe/location change…

Amy, you’re pretty!
If my Papa were alive, he would be SO jealous! Man oh man, you blog readers would have loved him…
Much love friends!
This Volvo has been sitting in the exact same spot for over 3 years. I know that because I’ve taken a photo in front of it once a year for the past three years. 
Thanks for being down with all of my crazy ideas.
Jodie, you’re so pretty!
I love Indiana in the fall. It’s that one time of year that we get to say booyah to Californians. On that note, hey California, BOOOOOOYAH!
Such awesome smiles!

Note to self: don’t make this face any more, it’s not cute! Oh well, we sure do look like we’re having fun!
