Can You Feel the Love?

I've known Kristen and Jordan since middle school.  They've been a couple for...well, for most of the time I've known them.  When Kristen asked me to do the portraits I was so excited - a beautiful family, a beautiful couple, beautiful kids, and a chance to see some old friends again - what more could I possibly ask for?  I loved seeing them with their beautiful children.  They were always a great couple but they seem happier, more in love, and more complete with their little munchkins around.  It's so fun to see.  This session was fun.  It was challenging with 3 kiddos under the age of 3.5 (are we really old enough to have 3 kids????).  But the challenge and imperfections of working with little kids made these pics so real and so beautiful.  It really is a beautiful reflection of their family, just the way they are.  
You can really feel the love!

All of these portraits were taken at my Grandpa's farm which has been in the family since the 1920's.  I've always wanted to do a shoot there and this family was perfect for it.   The lighting, the grass, the barn, everything turned out better than I could of hoped for.  And the box car you see in some of these pics is from the late 1800's.  My family got it in the late 1920's and used it for storing grain.  Pretty cool, huh?











It was really important for Kristen to get some nice pics of her and Jordan since they didn't really have many. 
 I'm so glad we did and you'll see why.

This pictures are gorgeous! I love the colors - the plum colors in the box car really make the fam stand out - it was one of my favs.

Great job as always!
