The Tiptons

Ashley was (and I hate saying that in the past tense) a teacher at North Brook Elementary, where I currently work. She has been entering all of my contests, eagerly awaiting a win...to no avail. So I suppose she just caved in to buying a session of her own. I love coming up with ideas of locations for sessions, but love even more when clients have something or somewhere special in mind. So we headed to Dodgin's Barn, which is somewhere in between Denver and Lincolnton. It is an amazing, quaint, and charming location for photoshoots! Even better, you can get married there! Anyway, I was thrilled to be able to take pictures of Ashley, Brandon, and their precious Sawyer...who has the most amazing smile! She smiled at everything! Well, until you put her inside of a wooden crate, or a chest...and then she was done. I got some pretty hilarious shots of her scowling at us, but decided not to post those. Usually when I go through and select my pictures, I don't post the entire session. But how could I not? Here is the Tipton's entire mini-session. Enjoy!

and, my favorite....

I love how much they love each other. It's so evident in how happy Sawyer is. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to photograph your family, Ashley!
