Meet The Hinds Family :)

I had the pleasure of getting to know Kari on a parent/teacher level because she was the Boo's 2nd grade teacher (Boo is my middle child aka LaLa who happens to live in LaLa Land about 99% of the time!) .  This feat alone would automatically qualify her for sainthood, because Boo is known for her love of being a social butterfly.

Her status as "social butterfly" can at times be an all-out challenge to the fibers of one's patience, and Kari was able to make it through the school year with her sanity fully in tact . . . I think . . .

Kari, Thank You again for getting Abbey through second grade!!!

Anyway, Kari and her husband Chad have 2 adorable and very energetic little guys, that made me chuckle quite a few times throughout our shoot.  Meet Kyle & Drew and their parents . . .

 This shot makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it :)

The boys were annoyed with their parents, because they had their

own ideas about what they wanted to be doing.  Clearly those

ideas weren't in agreement!!! LOL

 Again, I look at this and it just cracks me up!

I forgot how much kiddos move at this age, and it reminds

me of the past with my own energetic little buggers.

Kari & Chad,

It was a pleasure, and I enjoyed every bit of energy your

little guys managed to expend during our time together! lola

And, despite the light the approaching storm gave us,

I'm crazy about the images we captured of your adorable family!!!!

Hugs,

Kelly

Meet The Future Mr. & Mrs. Chester Hill!!!!

OK . . . I have been waiting for their E Shoot for months, and I prayed that the weather would bring magical lighting to us.  Their shoot date finally arrived, and yes, the lighting had those amazing golden tones that added to their beauty and their love for each other.

I had a total blast trekking around Forest Park with Ashley and Chester for a couple of hours, and was sad when the fading light forced us to wrap our shoot.  I could have gone on indefinitely.  They are amazing and so fun to work with, and they are both beautiful inside and out.  And, even though it's a year away, I can't wait to spend their wedding day with them, capturing all those special moments and emotions.

Here they are in their engaged fabulousness :):):):):)

Looooove those sunflares that made these look

like a magazine spread :):):)

A & C,

Lisa and I are so excited for your wedding day next year!!!

I am truly honored that you chose us, and I wish you

a happy year of anticipation and detail finalizing :)

Hugs To You Both,

Kelly
