John, Stephanie, & Gabby :: Lifestyle Session

This is the second time I’ve had the honor of photographing John and the two special women in his life! Take a look at their last lifestyle photography session – set in an urban downtown studio. It’s fun to see how much Gabby has grown in just a year. When I go home to Michigan, it is so great that I get to catch up with clients there and see them again. This is a lifestyle family portrait session that we did together just after the holidays. I love that we did it in their home because we captured Gabby being herself in her own environment.

Enjoy!!!

Over a decade ago, two teenagers accepted high school jobs at Cannonsburg Ski Lodge. That job set this family in motion! Michael and Lauren met at that job, started dating, got married in 2001, and now have an amazing family – Jackson, Evelyn, Ella, and baby boy #4 who will be born in March.

I especially love this family because they are my family! Michael is my oldest brother and he married Lauren who has become my dearest and best friend in life. What a great deal! We used to live right next door to them in Michigan and those 6 years were some of the best in my life. Living next to them taught me that life is not worth living alone. It is so much richer when we are doing life together. So open those curtains and come out in your yards – no matter the season! Please know that if you ever come to my house, the first time you will be a guest, but by the second time you should just feel free to open the refrigerator and help yourself to whatever you would like. Just like Michael and Lauren, our front door is always open.

Michael and Lauren are the type of couple that everybody wants to get to know. They will have you over for dinner and invite you into their personal lives in a way that is unique in our culture. Their social circle is never closed off. Do you need friends? You should really contact these guys and I’m not joking in the slightest! Even though they are like the rest of us and have crazy busy lives, they will always make room for old friends and new friends. You won’t feel like you need to hide the messy parts of your life when you are with them, because they will be so real and authentic right from the get go that sharing your life will be the most natural thing you can do. Person after person could share the ways that Michael and Lauren have loved and influenced them.

I can’t wait to see you guys at Christmas! I’ll be sure to send you my Christmas list soon:)

Since we took these pictures, Adam and Heather have found out that they are expecting their first baby together! Congratulations! I know they are ecstatic and so excited for next summer when that little baby boy or girl will arrive.

This summer has been quite the journey for them. There were so many extreme ups and downs, but through it all, their marriage has been strengthened as well as their appreciation for each other and life.

Early on in the summer, Heather went in for a minor surgery and came to the brink of death. I wrote a blog post after it happened that you can read here – The Miracle. After that scary experience, they were beyond excited to find out that they were pregnant, which was a miracle in itself. After several weeks of feeling that excitement of a first time pregnancy, Heather had a tragic miscarriage and found out it had been an ectopic pregnancy. God is answering their prayers again for a baby. I’m proud to see how Adam took care of Heather through all of these unplanned, scary moments. She is my sister and I love her dearly. It is great to see that the man she chose to marry loves her just as much!

Enjoy the blue themed stylized photo shoot of Adam, Heather and Julia at the Historic Covered Bridge at Fallasburg Park!

 

I loved using this vintage car as a photography prop!  It just happened to be parked here waiting for my camera!
