the one with Haley + Ryan

When life gives you a 2nd chance, it’s just THE best! It truly is. And it’s even better when I get to photograph it! Haley and Ryan are getting married next year in April at Horseshoe Knot Event Center. We met one gorgeous evening to make a few pictures together. I even got to photograph their kids, which was a total treat for me. This empty nest, living with only a dog and husband is killing me. I need someone’s kids to chase around now and again, so YES! Bring on the KIDS!!!

I mean can you blame me? Look at those faces! This cuties! BE STILL MY MOMMA HEART!

I know it’s crazy for parents when kids are being kids., but I totally love it! It shows off their personalities and is just so dang cute!

This will be a blended family. Blended with LOVE, fun and lots of boys! Hello! Haley, if you need a break, you know where I live.

Guys, want to impress the ladies? Find a kid to hang out with, preferably one you know, and then just love them and enjoy them. We will MELT. Like seriously MELT. Ryan, this was such a cute moment!

I can just hear the giggles!

Okay, so the kids left with “grandma” and we three went off to make some pretty pictures together. These two took some deep breaths and settled in for some “good stuff”.

These two are soooo good together! I love how he looks at her and just how easy they are.

um…Miss Haley! Sitting there so dang HOT! Hello!

and her hair…LOVE her long blonde hair!

I took her around the corner so Mother Nature could blow it like Beyonce. I mean, HELLO! LOVE IT!

THIS! This makes me want to go hang out with my man.

My favorite image from the session!
