The moment this family session started, I knew I couldn’t wait for them to be on the blog. The Flagg’s aren’t new to my site or my blog. I have been photographing them since Brooklyn was born. We have done newborn pictures, multiple family sessions, and birthday pictures. They are so special to me and I LOVE working with them!!

I loved getting to know this family! Joey and Jennifer were so laid back and easy to work with! Jennifer had told me that she and Joey wanted pictures together, just the two of them, and I was all for that! Mom’s & Dad’s NEED that!! Sometimes they think I am crazy when I ask the kids to step aside for a little bit, but every one always appreciates this. The fact that they wanted these images just made my life so much easier. What really impressed me though were their kids! I started the session with taking pictures of the 3 kids together and they were awesome! Posing together, smiling, & cheesing it up for me! They were cracking me up, too!! Camden & Kinston probably kept us ALL laughing the entire session.

It wasn’t long ago that Michelle asked me to meet her on this chunk of land and take a picture of a floor plan. Sounds a little silly right, but they me explain. It was THEIR floor plan! It was the floor plan for the home that they would one day build right there. I took those pictures of she and the kids, holding that framed piece of paper, for her to give Chris. This had been a dream of their’s for so long!! And here it was, about to come true.

I was so excited when Casie’s mom contacted me a couple months ago about doing senior portraits! I have seen this girl go from a little middle schooler coming to see her sisters compete on the competition cheer squad, to now being a senior in high school! I coached Casie for a couple of years and I just love seeing how she has grown & changed as a young woman. I love these sessions (as you know). I also love cheerleaders (of course) so this was an all around WIN!

One of the most common things people say to new parents is to cherish every moment because it all goes by so fast. They are right!! It truly does fly by! Pregnancy seems to take forever, but that first year of a baby’s life goes by in a blink. I remember Brooklyn’s newborn session like it was yesterday!! My husband and I went to Dan & Jamie’s house just days after Brooklyn was born. She was so tiny and beautiful! Now, here she is a YEAR OLD!! Just as gorgeous and sweet as can be!
