I love it when I meet families that are from my home state who now live the South. I’ve meet a few recently. I think those of us who have left are moving for the warmer climate. Melanie and I are from similar areas of Michigan and I even played against her high school in volleyball. Naturally just love her simply because she knows what euchre is. Though we both agree that it’s been so long we’ve probably forgotten how to play by how.

Anyway, on to this amazing family. I mean seriously? Could the little girl be any cuter?

“Look for the elephant in the lens!” They fall for it every time. Ha!

I love the simplicty and magic of this shoot.

This photograph is probably one of my favorite, ever. I love it when I see something in my mind and then it happens. After a few times of asking her to walk through the blooming sweetgrass, we got this. Sure, we got some in her mouth, eyes and she wasn’t too happy. Just about the time we were going to give up..BOOM, it all came together and we got it. Patience is the key, people.

Thank you so much to the Mathos Family!
