Planning photo shoots from long distance can be challenging.

Sometimes you set up an appointment and pick the location…

Even if you’re not really sure what the weather, temperature, traffic, or day will be like.

And sometimes, as much as you can plan ahead, all the details change last minute.

So you pick a time when it won’t be raining.

Make up a new location away from the crowds of homecoming high schoolers.

Ditch the sweaters in favor of short sleeves.

And reminds yourself that it’s not really about the time, crowds, place, or outfits.

It’s about each other.

Stacey - we did it! :) Another year is in the books and it keeps getting better! Thanks for being so flexible with our little rain and location flukes… I’m so glad we got to see each other! Love you guys!

It’s a sibling thing.

She does my hair (sometimes), I do her photos (all the time).

It’s worked out pretty well for the last decade…

Especially with such cute kids.

They help me scope out new photo locations…

And I’m the fun aunt that tells poop jokes.

Seems like a fair trade to me. :)

Becks - thanks so much for being brave and trying all the new places!! We didn’t do too bad for our 10th year in a row… ;) Love you!
