Defrains // Fall Family Mini-Sessions

Sometimes it is hard to put into words the impact people can have on your life. As pastors at my church, Steve and Leah have taught me so much about Jesus, family and life. Needless to say I am grateful for this sweet family. And these 3 little guys have a hold of my heart. They're goofy and sweet and they just crack me up.

Here is a look at the Defrains mini-session:

Fall-Winter Style // Friday Favorites

I  think we've all picked up on the drastic weather changes in this last week here in PA - we are definitely headed for winter temps people! Ew. Winter is not my favorite season, BUT there are some things I like to enjoy during this chilly time - cozy-ing up, warm coffee, blankets and comfy clothes. Speaking of which, I thought I'd share some of my favorite trends for this winter's fashion. Nothing fancy - just classic, comfy cozy.

1. Plaid

This year I am beyond obsessed with this pattern. It is a little out of control. But seriously it is so timeless. Put it under a sweater or pair it with a furry vest. You canNOT go wrong.

2. Cable Knit Sweaters

Since we are talking timeless ... it doesn't get much more classic than this. When it comes to winter, I prefer to be warm, even if it means sacrificing a little fashion. But I'm so glad I have a piece like this that keeps me warm and allows for a little style.

3. L.L. Bean Boots and thick warm socks

After the snow we got last year, I'm determined to be more prepared. I can feel cute AND ready to take on the elements in these booties.

Goins // Fall Family Mini-Sessions

Look at those CHEEKS! Luke is sweetest, little laid back man! He also was MESMERIZED with my camera which made my job a lot easier ;) This wonderful family is kind, giving and lots of fun! We enjoyed the beautiful Fall weather and sunshine during this mini-session.

I just can't get enough of this little guy! Joel and Kelly are pretty great too!

MiniVaca // Florida Getaway

My Mom's favorite spot is to be on the beach - slight breeze, hot sun and a book in hand. That is her safe space. When my family takes a little getaway we really relax! So it was fun to meet my family down in Florida for a visit. My brother and I had some time to ourselves on Friday night and spent a few hours on the beach with cameras in hand. Matt is a pretty talented videographer, but he also loves to take landscape, scenic photos as well. So we took photos of each other and the beach and discussed technical and artistic aspects of photography. It was so fun!

Here is the result of our brother-sister time together:
