I started off my Thanksgiving week doing a shoot for Sarah and her sweet kiddos Addie and Sawyer and we had a great time! I've known Sarah since before high school when we met playing summer softball and she is one of the strongest people I know. For their session, we headed out to New Town and I'm so glad we did! Addie and Sawyer love exploring and the animal sculptures in the park kept their attention so we could grab some shots. Even though it was a little chilly, all three of them were troopers and I'm excited to share some highlights with you!

This year's fall mini sessions were extra special because we did them on a friend's private property in Troy, MO! Shelley and I have been scheming for most of the year to set this up and I'm so glad we did! Their property runs along the Quiver River and was the perfect backdrop with the changing leaves and beautiful trees.

For this family's session we were celebrating Isaac's first birthday. We went back to the same park where we shot Joni and Jeff's maternity pictures before Leslie was born and where we did Leslie's first birthday photos. You know I love sentimental and family tradition - so this was perfect! We got a shot of Joni and Jeff's feet with baby shoes before Leslie was born on the bridge in the park, and now just a few short years later there are two more sets of feet :) I just love it!

How is it possible that this little guy is already 3 months old! I feel like it was just yesterday that we were taking his newborn photos. I think it's safe to say that this summer is flying by - but that just means that little Lucas is getting cuter and cuter!

It's been baby season over here at JHP these last few months and I'm not complaining! I love getting to spend time with new little ones and their families and soaking in all of their cuteness! This session was extra special because John and Amanda have been long time friends of ours and recently added another sweet little guy to their family.
