It was too easy. 

I told her sweet mom the moment we started photographing... her adorable one-year-old was just too easy to shoot!! 

Katie had found such a unique hideaway behind a church in Lee's Summit, and the evening light beautified it even more!

This little lady couldn't help but squeal and giggle with happiness... 

She is SO loved!

These are my favorite moments: hidden away from the world, just enjoying their time together as a family. 

Just LOOK at her heart-melting smile!! 

Thanks so much for letting me capture a little slice of your beautiful family, Katie! 

And happy birthday to your precious little girl! :)

As a family photographer, my goal and privilege is to capture families as they are - all expectations of perfection aside! Something pretty special happens when I get to partner with a family that embraces that perspective. As for the Jackson family, I've been working alongside of them for years now! It's so fun to see their family grow and evolve together - mom and dad still cuddle and the kids are still hilarious goof-balls. Check out our latest adventure downtown Minneapolis! :)

These guys were so eager to be crazy!! 

Love all their crazy faces in this one! :)

Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your family yet again, Jacksons! Praying that God continues to grow you together. :)
